About the company
Nanometrics Inc., a subsidiary of Onto Innovation Inc., manufactures advanced seismic and geophysical equipment for federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) delivery orders and IDIQs, with headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Nanometrics is a for-profit manufacturer operating under NAICS 33851 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables) and PSC 6660 (Geophysical Instruments), with no SBA small-business certifications — 183 of the recent 278 awards fall under the primary NAICS and 195 under the geophysical-instruments PSC, reflecting its narrow but deep specialization in seismic measurement equipment.
The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants (USGS), which accounts for 197 of 278 awards and $104.9 million of the combined $128.8 million potential value across all work. USGS awards span seismometers, data acquisition systems, cables, recorders, and related instrumentation for the agency's earthquake monitoring, seismic research, and geophysical monitoring programs. Representative USGS delivery orders include a $775,426 award in September 2026 for seismic equipment, an $825,735 award in March 2026, and a $914,599 award in March 2024 — all issued as firm fixed-price delivery orders without set-asides. The second-largest customer, the Department of the Air Force Space Command, holds 24 awards valued at $21.5 million collectively, focused on replacement of geophysical field system seismometers and data acquisition systems to support space situational awareness and space control missions. Representative Air Force awards include a $1,301,658 delivery order in February 2024 for replacement of geophysical equipment and a $963,927 delivery order in March 2026 for the same purpose. NOAA, the Navy, and the Department of Energy together represent 12 awards with minimal combined potential value.
Nanometrics sits on two primary IDIQs, both held with the USGS. The $30 million USGS seismic equipment IDIQ (Contract 140G0321D0005, valid through August 15, 2026) anchors the vendor's relationship with the civilian side; this vehicle has generated 58 task orders totaling $20.9 million in combined potential value. A companion $11,999,999 Air Force Space Command IDIQ (Contract FA702221D0003, valid through April 15, 2026) for replacement of obsolete geophysical seismometers and data acquisition systems has generated 23 task orders worth $9.5 million combined. Earlier IDIQ vehicles also remain active: Contract ING10PC00053 (38 task orders, $1.9 million combined value) and Contract 140G0319D0001 (30 task orders, $11.8 million combined value). All delivery orders are issued without competition set-asides, reflecting Nanometrics' proprietary position as the sole qualified source for these specialized instruments.
Award activity has remained broadly steady over the past five years (2022–2026: 15, 14, 9, 19, and 14 awards respectively), with a combined $128.8 million in potential value across all 278 awards and $56.7 million in obligated funds (44% of ceiling). The vendor carries minimal recompete near-term risk — only three awards complete within the next twenty-four months, representing $1.4 million in combined potential value. Nanometrics operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontracting footprint in the federal portfolio captured by the source. The company manufactures all work from its Ottawa facility and competes exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements, positioning itself as a specialized supplier of mission-critical geophysical equipment where no SBA competition is required.
