About the company
Montana Instruments Corporation, a Bozeman, Montana–based manufacturer of cryogenic equipment, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized low-temperature optical and cryogenic systems to federal research agencies under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designation across its entire recent footprint. The company competes in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and related precision-instrument manufacturing categories, selling custom-built cryostats, closed-cycle optical cryogenic systems, maintenance services, and component upgrades to federal laboratories and research programs.
Montana Instruments' customer base is highly concentrated in two agencies. The National Institute of Standards and Technology accounts for 34 awards worth $4.3 million in combined potential value (49% of total dollars), while the Office of Naval Research holds 27 awards valued at $3 million (34% of total). Combined, NIST and ONR represent 80% of recent awards and 83% of combined potential value. The Army Research Development and Engineering Command (8 awards, $508 thousand), Air Force Research Laboratory (2 awards, $410 thousand), and Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel (3 awards, $296 thousand) round out the active customer set. NIST and ONR track closely across both volume and dollars, indicating sustained, balanced engagement across the two largest customers rather than reliance on one customer for dollars while serving another for volume.
Representative work spans the recent period: a $295.5 thousand NIST order (April 2024) for a closed-cycle optical cryostat with integrated microscope objective and scanning stages; a $260 thousand Air Force Research Laboratory definitive contract (May 2023) for a Cryostation S200 with compressors, vacuum modules, and installation at Rome, New York; and a $239.4 thousand Office of Naval Research purchase order (March 2026) for an optical cryostat with sub-1.2-Kelvin capability and bidirectional optical access supporting precision measurement research. Montana Instruments supplies both new equipment and aftermarket maintenance and repair services — including cryocooler replacement, compressor service, and optical component upgrades — reflecting its position as an original equipment manufacturer serving the installed base at federal labs.
Montana Instruments operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); no subcontract activity appears in the source. The company does not sit on government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or multi-agency IDIQs; all awards are direct purchase orders from individual federal agencies. Activity has been modest and variable — four awards in 2022, declining to three in 2025 and four in 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $206 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore in recompete window. The $8.8 million in combined potential value across 76 awards, combined with the absence of large standing IDIQs or GWACs, indicates that Montana Instruments pursues tactical, project-specific equipment sales rather than framework or blanket-purchase vehicles, and that most dollars are concentrated in single-award, custom-engineered cryogenic systems delivered to NIST and ONR research programs.
