Precision Analyzer Company L.P.

Petroleum Analyzer Co L.P., doing business as Pac, is a Houston-based manufacturer of specialized laboratory and process analytical instruments for petroleum analysis, operating as a subsidiary of Roper Technologies, Inc. Pac competes predominantly in full-and-open federal procurements (97% of its recent awards are prime contracts), with Total Small Business set-asides appearing on roughly 15 to 20 percent of named awards — a recurrent but non-dominant posture across the vendor's portfolio.

Pac's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of Defense logistics and engineering commands. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 53% of recent awards and include the Naval Supply Systems Command (82 awards, $2.9 million combined potential value), Naval Sea Systems Command (41 awards, $623 thousand), Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (30 awards, $6.9 million), Defense Logistics Agency Energy (32 awards, $3.8 million), and Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (32 awards, $3.4 million). The top-five ranking by potential value shows stronger concentration in dollar terms: TACOM leads with $6.9 million across 30 awards, followed by DLA Energy ($3.8 million) and Detroit Arsenal ($3.4 million), with Air Force Materiel Command's Robins Air Force Base anchoring $3.1 million across seven awards. Pac has served 53 distinct customer agencies in recent activity, but the Navy and Army account for the vast majority of both award count and dollar value.

Pac's capability footprint centers on the design, manufacture, and maintenance of fuel and lubricant testing instruments — freezing point analyzers, flash point testers, distillation apparatus (OPTIDIST D86, JFTOT 230 Mark IV units), viscosity comparators, sulfur analyzers, pour and cloud point analyzers, and related analytical equipment. The vendor also delivers preventive maintenance, calibration, repair, and training services on these specialized instruments at military installations and government laboratories. Representative prime work includes a $881.4 thousand DLA Energy contract (January 2025) for delivery of laboratory equipment including heating baths, centrifuges, viscometers, and analyzers to support multi-location OCONUS fuel testing; a $630 thousand Army Materiel Command contract (September 2021) for 15 distillation apparatus units under Total Small Business set-aside; a $535.5 thousand DLA Energy FY24 lab equipment order (October 2024) for conductivity meters, viscosity analyzers, and density meters under Total Small Business set-aside; and a $156.4 thousand Air Mobility Command maintenance contract (September 2023) covering five-year calibration and preventive maintenance services at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's Aerospace Fuels Laboratory. Pac also executes sub-work: recent sub-awards from HII Mission Technologies Corp (July–September 2024) included purchase and installation of a freezing point analyzer and micro distillation analyzer for Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center; prior sub-work with Life Cycle Engineering Inc. (2021) involved PAC Sense SCD gas chromatography support.

Pac sits on multiple Army and Air Force indefinite delivery vehicles. The top parent contracts include Army IDC W9098S08D0035 (7 task orders, $1.9 million combined potential value), Army IDC W9098S12D0005 (2 task orders, $657 thousand), and Air Force IDC FA851716D0002 (2 task orders, $244 thousand). The vendor also holds seats on an Information Analysis Center multiple-award contract (3 task orders, contract structure not specified in source) and Air Force IDC F3360196DJ014.

Award activity has remained stable at 10 to 15 awards per year across 2022 through 2025, with the two most recent awards in 2026 (the source snapshot captures only two 2026 awards to date, consistent with a mid-April 2026 data cutoff). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only two awards (combined potential value $193 thousand) face ultimate completion within that window. Combined potential value across all 412 awards is $28.4 million, with $26 million (91% of potential value) already obligated, indicating a mature, heavily-invoiced contract portfolio.

Pac's primary NAICS footprint centers on Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (130 awards), with secondary presence in Other Professional Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (72 awards) and Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing (35 awards). PSC coding confirms the equipment and maintenance emphasis: Laboratory Equipment and Supplies leads (142 awards), followed by Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Instruments and Laboratory Equipment (72 awards) and Chemical Analysis Instruments (65 awards). The vendor's two-decade federal contracting history, beginning with SAM.gov registration in January 2002, and its status as the original equipment manufacturer for many instruments in the petroleum testing space position it for sole-source and competitive set-aside awards, particularly where OEM access to proprietary software, factory-trained technicians, and specialized component parts is required.
