Precision Optics, LLC

Precision Optics, LLC operates as a for-profit limited liability company based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, providing maintenance and repair services for Zeiss confocal microscopes to the federal research community as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designation. The vendor has received five purchase orders from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) totaling $157 thousand in combined potential value since February 2023, all firm fixed-price contracts for preventive maintenance, on-demand repair, software updates, and parts and labor for Zeiss LSM 7 Series, LSM 710, and LSM 780 confocal microscopes performed at NIEHS facilities in Chapel Hill and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

Customer concentration is absolute — NIEHS represents 100% of recent awards and 100% of combined potential value across the vendor's visible federal footprint. The vendor has no parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs; all awards are direct purchase orders from NIEHS. Work is characterized by low unit value and recurring scope: annual purchase orders typically ceiling around $41 thousand for service agreements covering parts, labor, and factory-certified on-site service engineer availability, with one 2023 agreement at $13.2 thousand and the most recent 2026 order at $20.9 thousand with ultimate completion in May 2027. Service-level requirements include preventive maintenance minimum annually, on-demand repair with one-business-day response time, and stationing of a factory-certified service engineer within thirty minutes of the facility.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime and carries no subcontract work. Activity is sparse — one award annually over the past four years — with only one purchase order (combined potential value $21 thousand) facing completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore exposure to recompete. The primary NAICS categorization is Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, reflective of the narrow scope of Zeiss microscope service delivery to a single federal customer.
