Precision Measurements And Instruments Corporation

Precision Measurements And Instruments Corporation, a for-profit organization headquartered in Corvallis, Oregon, delivers specialized mechanical testing and materials characterization services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards), with a smaller subcontracting role on aerospace research and development work. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its recent prime portfolio.

PMIC's capability footprint centers on precision mechanical testing at extreme temperatures, fabric and polymer characterization, and ASTM standards compliance. Recent prime work includes a $104,750 firm fixed-price purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (April 2026) for tensile, tear, puncture, and stiffness testing on Artemis Suit Material prototype specimens across ambient, hot (121°C), and cryogenic (–196°C) conditions using a United Testing System STN-100KN device; a $45,150 purchase order also from NASA Shared Services (April 2026) for advanced mechanical testing of 166 fabric and polymer specimens at cryogenic (–143°C) temperatures supporting the Mars GTU 2020 Project; and a $38,400 purchase order from NASA Shared Services (May 2025) for fabric specimen testing in support of the Artemis Suit Material Project. PMIC was identified as sole source on the Artemis Suit contract under FAR 12.102(a) authority, reflecting established expertise in precision measurement and thermal testing. The vendor's top category concentrations are Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (7 awards), Testing Laboratories and Services (6 awards), and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (3 awards).

Customer concentration is heavily NASA-dominated. NASA centers account for approximately 44% of recent awards (by count), led by NASA Goddard Space Center (7 awards, $141 thousand combined potential value) and NASA Shared Services Center (3 awards, $188 thousand combined potential value). The top five customers by potential value—NASA Shared Services, NASA Goddard, NASA Langley, FAA, and VA—represent 74% of combined potential value. Combined obligations across all awards total $760 thousand against a combined potential value of $499 thousand, indicating executed work exceeds the recorded ceiling pool.

PMIC sits on one named parent vehicle: IDC 80MSFC20D0004 (Aerospace Research, Development and Engineering Support II), which carries 3 task orders. In its subcontractor role, PMIC delivers materials testing and services to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on three sub-awards tied to the Dragonfly Extended Phase B mission under that same MSFC IDIQ (awarded January 2024, May 2024, and April 2025).

Activity shows historical presence dating to 2002 with sparse recent volume—two awards in 2026, two in 2025, and three in 2024—reflecting a specialized testing-services role serving primarily NASA space exploration programs with occasional Navy and civilian agency work.

Precision Measurements and Instruments has been a testing laboratory for over 20 years. They support materials research, failure analysis and materials engineering by providing precision measurements such as thermal expansion and conductivity.
