MMC Metrology Lab, Inc.

MMC Metrology Lab, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, supplies precision measurement instruments—pressure dial gauges, thermometers, compound pressure gages, differential gauges, vacuum indicators, and related metrology equipment—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on major shipboard construction programs. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly under full-and-open procurements, with recurring Total Small Business set-asides comprising a minority of the portfolio.

MMC Metrology Lab's customer concentration is extreme and unidirectional. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 4,271 of the vendor's 5,997 recent prime awards—approximately 76% of volume—and anchors $54.1 million of the $70.5 million combined potential value across the portfolio. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command places the second-largest order volume at 874 awards totaling $9.6 million in combined potential value, while the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, Defense Logistics Agency, and Naval Sea Systems Command together account for less than 5% of the dollar total. This concentration is absolute: DLA Aviation's dollar share and award-count ranking track perfectly, with no tension between volume and value signals.

Capability framing centers on simplified acquisition purchase orders and delivery orders for commercial metrology products. Recent representative work includes a $1,168,990 total-small-business single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation (awarded July 2, 2026, through July 1, 2031) for roller cylindrical bearings and related instruments; a $1,109,760 single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation (awarded February 17, 2026, through February 17, 2031) for pressure dial gauges under three National Stock Numbers; and a $350,000 indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation (awarded December 18, 2025, through December 18, 2026) for compound pressure gauges. Purchase orders awarded in the past six months range from $1,271 to $191,400, with the majority under $50,000, reflecting DLA Aviation's reliance on rapid replenishment orders against standing vehicle ceilings rather than large single procurements. The top five parent indefinite delivery contracts span SPE4A621D0034 (26 task orders, $261 thousand combined value), SPE4A618D5750 (19 task orders, $111 thousand), SPE4A617D5806 (18 task orders, $82 thousand), SPE4A618D5312 (18 task orders, $135 thousand), and SPE4A615D5192 (17 task orders, $108 thousand). All visible parent vehicles are DLA Aviation single-award or multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts for measuring and controlling instruments under NAICS 334512 and 334513.

Activity has plateaued and shows early decline. The vendor averaged 308 to 338 awards per year from 2022 through 2024, dropped to 315 in 2025, and fell to 209 in the first seven months of 2026—a trajectory consistent with normalization after recompete and potential contract expiration rather than organic growth. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months covers 198 awards with $3.6 million combined potential value, a material but not dominant exposure given the $70.5 million total portfolio. The source material indicates four active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation with ceiling values totaling approximately $3 million through 2031, providing modest structural stability against near-term recompete risk.

In its subcontractor role, MMC Metrology Lab supplies pressure gauges and isolator assemblies to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on DDG 51-class destroyer and LPD 30-class amphibious transport dock construction and modernization programs. Sub-award activity is minimal—36 of the vendor's 6,033 total awards—and represents a secondary revenue stream relative to the DLA Aviation prime business.

The vendor operates a calibration and distribution facility in Virginia Beach and sources measurement instruments from external manufacturers for federal resale and distribution. The business model is transactional and volume-driven: high order frequency, low individual order size, firm fixed-price terms, and tight delivery windows (typically 55 to 171 days from order) aligned with DLA Aviation's just-in-time logistics operations supporting military maintenance and repair activities across defense facilities worldwide.
