PCB Piezotronics, Inc.

PCB Piezotronics, Inc., a subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation, manufactures cryogenic accelerometers, pressure sensors, force transducers, and related measurement instrumentation for federal agencies as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, competing exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements. The company operates from Depew, New York, and draws 93 percent of its recent federal work as a prime contractor across 1,092 awards valued at $41.3 million in combined potential value.

PCB Piezotronics' capability portfolio centers on specialized sensors and calibration services grounded in concrete engineering requirements. The vendor manufactures ICP pressure sensors rated to 125,000 psi for rocket-motor propulsion testing, cryogenic accelerometers for low-temperature environments, high-gravity accelerometers supporting munitions and Excalibur artillery testing, triaxial force sensors, blast pressure probes, infrasound microphones, and related cabling and signal conditioning equipment. Representative prime work includes a $199.2 million rocket-motor ICP pressure sensor order from NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (June 2026, sole-source under FAR 12.102(a) for commercial items), a $7.5 million indefinite delivery contract with the Army Research Development and Engineering Command for high-gravity accelerometers supporting munitions testing programs (ceiling through July 2028), a $324.2 thousand accelerometer purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (June 2026), and a $247.5 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract with Naval Air Warfare Center for equipment teardown, evaluation, repair, and calibration services (awarded May 2025, through July 2030).

The top five federal customers represent 68 percent of combined potential value, with Naval Sea Systems Command dominating both volume and dollars — 193 awards valued at $15.4 million. The Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command contributes 61 awards worth $8.3 million, anchored by the high-gravity accelerometer IDIQ. NASA Shared Services Center, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Army Test and Evaluation Command round out the active set. The vendor achieves concentration through specialized sensor capabilities that position it as sole-source on many procurements; several award descriptions explicitly cite PCB Piezotronics as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary knowledge.

PCB Piezotronics holds a seat on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (GS07F5506R, 138 task orders), enabling civilian agency procurement across the General Services Administration network. The vendor also operates under a string of single-award IDIQs with DoD agencies — the Army RDEC contract ($7.5 million ceiling), Naval Air Warfare Center calibration contract ($247.5 thousand ceiling, recently extended to July 2030), and several smaller repair and calibration vehicles with Naval Air Warfare Center ($11.7 thousand, $14.3 thousand, $14.9 thousand ceilings). These vehicles streamline task-order placement for recurring sensor maintenance and procurement needs across the Navy and Army.

Activity has remained steady — 24 awards in 2022 climbing to 41 in 2024, then moderating to 29 in 2025 and 21 through early October 2026 — with only four awards (combined potential value $600 thousand) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete exposure in the near term.

In its subcontractor role, PCB Piezotronics provides accelerometers, pressure sensors, and signal conditioners to major prime contractors on defense development and production programs. Named subs include Fluor Marine Propulsion (Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program support, supplying Endevco 2775C and 2271C charge converters and signal conditioners for test loops), Northrop Grumman Systems Corp (Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent engineering and manufacturing development), The Boeing Company (Space Launch System stages production and evolution, common aerospace commodities and electrical components), Lockheed Martin Corp (Long Range Anti-Ship Missile testing and national defense R&D applied research, providing accelerometers and pressure sensors), Bell Textron Inc. (Future Vertical Lift assault aircraft development, supplying ICP and triaxial accelerometers), and Electric Boat Corporation (Virginia-class submarine construction and Seawolf R&D material procurements). The company also subcontracts to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on space science missions (Dragonfly extended phase B, materials and supplies), Raytheon Company (hypersonic and other advanced missile programs), and Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (National Security Campus operations support). This subcontract footprint reflects PCB Piezotronics' role as a specialized component supplier embedded in the federal defense industrial base.

PCB Piezotronics is part of the Amphenol Corporation family, which also includes subsidiaries Accumetrics, Inc., PCB Piezotronics of North Carolina, Inc., and The Modal Shop, Inc. The parent is a major interconnect-products manufacturer with significant federal presence; award descriptions reference Amphenol's capabilities in supply chain support and specialized manufacturing for defense and aerospace applications. PCB Piezotronics operates as the sensor and measurement-instrumentation brand within Amphenol's defense and aerospace portfolio. The company's federal footprint spans 128 distinct customer agencies, with primary concentration in Navy (NAVSEA, Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Supply Systems Command) and Army (RDEC, Test and Evaluation Command, PEO Ammunition) customers. Full-and-open competition and sole-source designations driven by proprietary sensor technology characterize the vendor's access posture — no small-business set-asides appear in the recent award record despite the company's subsidiary status within a large parent.
