Quality Testing Inc.

Quality Testing Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, provides ISO 9001-certified mechanical and materials testing services to defense agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing on an unrestricted basis with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Quality Testing Inc. delivers concrete testing capabilities centered on coupon evaluation, material analysis, Charpy impact testing, hardness testing, tension testing, and chemical analysis of casting materials and metal samples, primarily supporting hydroelectric infrastructure modernization and aviation systems research. The company operates as a small business with approximately 46 prime federal awards spanning recent years. Representative work includes a $350 thousand single-award BPA with the Army Corps of Engineers (ENDIST Portland) for material coupon testing on hydroelectric facilities, running through February 2029 with individual call-order ceilings of $25 thousand; a $4.999 million single-award BPA with Naval Air Systems Command (Naval Air Warfare Center) for aeronautical testing services through January 2028; a $10 million Basic Ordering Agreement with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for aviation parts testing; and discrete coupon-testing calls supporting turbine rehabilitation projects at Norfork, Fort Randall, McNary, and Old Hickory dam facilities, each valued between $695 and $24,775.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army Corps of Engineers work by volume and Navy/DLA by dollar value. The top five customers account for 98% of recent awards: Army Corps of Engineers ENDIST Portland leads by award count with 21 awards ($561 thousand combined potential value), followed by Army Corps of Engineers proper (11 awards, $92 thousand), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (9 awards, $10 million), Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (3 awards, $15 million), and Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works (1 award, $2 thousand). The dollar rankings diverge markedly — Naval Air Systems Command and DLA Aviation anchor $25 million of the vendor's approximately $25.7 million combined potential value, while the bulk of by-volume activity runs through small BPA calls under the Army Corps agreement.

Quality Testing Inc. holds three named parent vehicles: a $350 thousand single-award BPA with Army Corps of Engineers ENDIST Portland (32 task orders, $304 thousand combined potential value); a $10 million Basic Ordering Agreement with DLA Aviation (8 task orders, $10 thousand combined potential value); and a $5 million single-award BPA with Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (1 task order). Activity accelerated sharply — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, fourteen in 2024, and fifteen in 2025 — with five awards already placed in 2026 as of early March. The vendor carries no recompete cliff exposure from the source data; awards visible carry ultimate completion dates through 2029, with the nearest concentration of completions in March 2026 representing discretionary call orders under standing agreements rather than option-year expirations requiring competitive recompete.

Work is performed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as the primary performance location, with subordinate performance at specific hydroelectric project sites (Pickstown, South Dakota; Bassett, Virginia; dam facilities across the Arkansas and other river systems) as dictated by individual call orders. The vendor holds no subcontracting relationships in the source data and operates 100% as a prime, indicating vertical integration of testing laboratory operations. Testing categories center on construction and building materials evaluation (32 awards), airframe structural components (7 awards), and miscellaneous aircraft accessories (2 awards), reflecting the dual streams of hydropower infrastructure support and naval aviation testing.
