About Optical Scientific Inc.

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Optical Scientific Inc., a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned manufacturer of advanced optical instruments and precision sensor equipment based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) supplying repair services, sensor components, and related equipment to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, competing in non-set-aside procurements. The company manufactures and repairs Light Detection and Ranging Environmental Wind and Displacement Instrumentation (LEWDI) sensors, weather observation equipment, microprocessor cards, and visibility sensors for atmospheric monitoring systems.

Optical Scientific's federal footprint is heavily concentrated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which accounts for 122 of 222 total awards (74% by count) and $5.1 million of the $6.7 million combined potential value across all awards. The next largest customers by award count — the Department of the Army (14 awards), NASA (13 awards), the Department of the Navy (10 awards), and the Department of the Air Force (5 awards) — are substantially smaller in both volume and dollar value, but NASA Langley Research Center carries $950 thousand in combined potential value across two awards, representing the second-largest customer by dollars. The customer concentration reflects Optical Scientific's specialization in NOAA's Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) and related meteorological instrumentation rather than diversification across defense or civil space programs.

The company holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with NOAA valued at $1,334,999.67 for LEWDI sensor repair services, running through September 2027, which anchors its prime position on the agency. This IDIQ has generated 19 task orders carrying $841 thousand in combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $50,724 delivery order for National Weather Service National Reconditioning Service repair and equipment services (April 2024), a $40,250 delivery order for LEWDI sensor repair (July 2023), a $25,362 delivery order for sensor heads and visibility sensors (August 2024), and a $12,165 purchase order for an anti-vibration kit for ASOS replenishment (April 2026). The company also operates under additional IDIQs including contract DOCWC133W17CQ0095 (19 task orders, $841 thousand combined value) and contract 1305M222DNWWG0012 (8 task orders, $207 thousand combined value).

Activity has declined significantly over the past five years — from nine awards in 2022 to one award in 2026 — though the source reflects a multi-decade award history beginning in 1987. Optical Scientific has not subcontracted on federal awards and operates entirely as a prime contractor. The company's technical portfolio concentrates on two primary NAICS categories: Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables (93 awards) and Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (31 awards), with top PSC codes reflecting maintenance and repair of instruments and laboratory equipment (90 awards) and meteorological instruments and apparatus (39 awards). The vendor operates a subsidiary, Mobile Telesystems Inc.
