About the company
Nu-Tek Precision Optical Corp., doing business as Nu TEK Precision Optical Corp, manufactures precision optical components and assemblies—mirrors, lenses, prisms, and telescopes—for federal defense, aerospace, and civilian research agencies, operating as a prime contractor on 96% of recent awards. The Aberdeen, Maryland-based manufacturer competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements; only three of 135 total awards carry small business set-asides, positioning Nu-Tek as a specialized supplier selected for technical capability and sole-source manufacturing rather than set-aside preference. Nu-Tek is a subsidiary of Nearview Inc.
Nu-Tek's customer base concentrates in defense and space platforms. The top five funding agencies account for 45% of awards by count but 73% by combined potential value, revealing customer concentration anchored by dollars rather than volume. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex leads both rankings (16 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value), followed by NASA Shared Services Center (12 awards, $776 thousand), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (7 awards, $561 thousand), the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (5 awards, $558 thousand), and NASA Goddard Space Center (18 awards by count, $368 thousand). The divergence between award count and dollar concentration reflects Nu-Tek's role as both a large-assembly prime (fewer but higher-value awards from AFMC and NAVSEA) and a component supplier (higher volume, lower-value orders from NASA centers).
Representative prime work includes a $1.999 million single-award IDIQ with Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex (awarded May 2, 2023, running through May 1, 2028) for repair of optical lenses, prisms, mirrors, and components supporting the Solar Electro-Optical Network and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program; a $104,275 sole-source purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (August 2023) for a custom cemented doublet optical assembly supporting high-energy laser characterization; a $93,600 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2024) for a primary mirror; and a $70,530 small-business-set-aside purchase order from NASA (September 2023) for an optical telescope supporting Doppler lidar research. Recent 2026 awards include a $34,820 total-small-business purchase order from NASA for aluminum off-axis parabola mirrors with enhanced gold and dielectric coating at 1520–1580 nm for a lunar lidar prototype, and a $17,640 small-business-set-aside order from NASA Shared Services Center for DALI-RX precision optical components.
Under the Ogden Air Logistics Complex IDIQ (FA825023D0001), Nu-Tek has issued six delivery orders since award, with the most recent December 4, 2025 order valued at $15,390.90 for DMSP-SEON repair services. Na-Tek also holds positions on NASA Blanket Purchase Agreements NNG10RA41Z (2 task orders, $115 thousand combined value) and NNG14LN44Z (2 task orders, $6 thousand), and participates in a Defense Logistics Agency IDC. The vendor's primary NAICS is 6651 (Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing), accounting for 76 of 135 awards; secondary categories include electronic equipment repair, analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, and aircraft parts manufacturing.
Activity has remained modest but steady—two awards in 2022, seven in 2023 and 2024, five in 2025, and three in 2026—with only one award (worth $18 thousand) facing recompete in the next twenty-four months. Nu-Tek subcontracts to Southwest Research Institute on space weather coronagraph fabrication work (mirror and occulter components, August 2026 and October 2025), to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services on Instrumentation Range Support Program III telescope delivery (October 2025), to Aerodyne-Sgt Engineering Services on MIST II space-flight hardware fabrication (May 2025), and to Valkyrie Enterprises on MIT Lincoln Laboratory optical equipment and fabrication services (April and November 2024).
