About the company
Optical Scientific Inc., a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned manufacturer of optical instruments and precision atmospheric monitoring equipment based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor exclusively in full-and-open federal procurement, with no set-aside designations across its award footprint. The company manufactures and repairs Light Detection and Ranging Environmental Wind and Displacement Instrumentation (LEWDI) sensors, visibility sensors, microprocessor cards, and related components for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other civilian federal customers.
Optical Scientific's customer base is heavily concentrated with NOAA. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for 123 of 223 total awards (55% by count) and $5.4 million of the $6.9 million combined potential value across all awards, reflecting 74% coverage by award count and 94% coverage by combined potential value. The remaining customer base spans NASA, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Federal Aviation Administration, but these relationships are materially smaller and more episodic. The company holds a single-award IDIQ with NOAA valued at $1,334,999.67 running through September 2027, which has generated 19 task orders to date against PSC code for maintenance and repair of instruments and laboratory equipment. Representative recent work includes a $242,559 delivery order from NOAA (August 2026) for repair and refurbishment of microprocessor cards and LEDWI sensor heads, a $25,362 task order (August 2024) for sensor heads and LEDWI components supporting the National Weather Service, and a $50,724 delivery order (April 2024) for National Weather Service National Reconditioning Center repair services and equipment.
Award activity has declined materially in the past three years—nine awards in 2022 declining to two in each of 2024, 2025, and 2026—and the recompete cliff presents minimal near-term risk, with only one award (combined potential value $243 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Optical Scientific's work is classified across manufacturing NAICS codes (93 awards under Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Process Variables; 32 under Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and repair service codes (91 awards under Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Instruments and Laboratory Equipment; 39 under Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus). Place of performance is concentrated at the company's Gaithersburg and Potomac, Maryland facilities, with work supporting NOAA's atmospheric monitoring, weather forecasting, and environmental research programs. The vendor operates with a named subsidiary, Mobile Telesystems Inc., though no distinct federal work is attributed to that subsidiary in the source data.
