Neocera Magma LLC

Neocera Magma LLC is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Beltsville, Maryland, that specializes in maintenance and support services for advanced scientific instrumentation, particularly Scanning Magnetic Microscopes used in research and development environments. Registered in SAM.gov since June 28, 2020, the company has established itself as the original equipment manufacturer and sole source provider for specialized maintenance services supporting naval research initiatives. Neocera Magma LLC has maintained a consistent history of sole-source federal contract awards from defense agencies, demonstrating its critical role in sustaining specialized laboratory equipment for the Department of Defense.

Since 2021, Neocera Magma LLC has provided comprehensive maintenance, calibration, parts replacement, software upgrades, battery exchange, and repair services on government-owned Neocera Scanning Magnetic Microscopes (SMM) located at Naval Surface Warfare Center facilities in Maryland, with contract values ranging from approximately $51,500 to $59,000 annually. The company's federal contract awards have been funded through two primary Department of Defense entities: the Washington Headquarters Service and Naval Strategic Systems Programs, with all contracts awarded as sole source procurements under Federal Acquisition Regulation authority, reflecting the company's status as the exclusive provider of proprietary components and technical expertise required for this specialized equipment. Additionally, in July 2025, Neocera Magma LLC received a separate $24,989 firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Strategic Systems Programs for replacement personal computer hardware for Magma EFI HIRES equipment, scheduled for completion in October 2025 at the Calverton, Maryland facility. None of the company's federal contract awards have utilized small business set-asides, consistent with the non-competitive, sole-source nature of these procurements based on the company's status as the original equipment manufacturer and sole source provider.

At Neocera Magma, we manufacture a Magma magnetic field microscope (MAGMA EFI HiRes), which is uniquely capable of localizing all static electrical faults. The permeation of the magnetic field through all materials used in semiconductor device fabrication makes this the preferred technique for localizing buried defects.
