About the company
Primenano, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of advanced metrology and microscopy instrumentation based in Santa Clara, California, supplies atomic force microscopy (AFM) interfaces, microwave impedance microscopy (MIM) modules, and related measurement systems to federal research agencies as a prime contractor, operating exclusively in full-and-open competition with no socioeconomic set-asides across its federal footprint.
Primenano's federal customer base is heavily concentrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which accounts for seven of nine awards and $620 thousand of the $624 thousand combined potential value across the vendor's recent federal work. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command contributed one $4 thousand purchase order for operator training, and the Department of Energy placed one award. Across NIST, Primenano has delivered specialized measurement hardware including a $242.6 million Microwave Impedance Microscopy Module for semiconductor electrical characterization (awarded July 22, 2024, with ultimate completion date February 14, 2025), a $168.65 million SCANWAVE Pro Controller for a Vero AFM (awarded September 21, 2026), a $35 thousand SCANWAVE Pro EPIM module (awarded April 10, 2026), and a $25 thousand SCANWAVE 2.0 Probe Interface Module for an Asylum AFM (awarded August 26, 2025). These purchases support NIST's metrology research and semiconductor characterization capabilities under the CHIPS Act and broader measurement standards development.
Beyond purchase orders, Primenano is a recipient of a $259.848 thousand NIST CHIPS Research and Development cooperative agreement (CFDA 11.042, awarded October 1, 2024, completion date October 31, 2026) to develop an advanced prototype of a non-destructive, wafer-based in-line metrology measurement system for materials purity and electrical property characterization in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing and advanced packaging. Primenano plans to subaward funds for software integration and process development supporting the prototype effort.
Activity is sparse and episodic across the five-year window — one award in 2019, one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with a combined dollars-obligated figure ($2 million) that exceeds combined potential value by 326%, indicating significant funding concentration in prior years' awards. One award with $169 thousand combined potential value reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Primenano holds no positions on government-wide contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, IDIQs) and operates solely as a prime; the vendor does not subcontract to other federal primes and carries no federal grant sub-recipient relationships.
