Sonotec US Inc.

Sonotec US Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit corporation based in Hauppauge, New York, supplies ultrasonic sensing and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) equipment and assembly services to NASA as a prime contractor on full-and-open, sole-source purchase orders.

Sonotec's federal footprint is nascent and narrowly concentrated. The vendor holds three purchase orders, all from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded between July 2025 and July 2026 with combined potential value of $307 thousand and 100% of dollars obligated. The three awards span complementary ultrasonic hardware and software: a $126.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order (July 1, 2025) for a SONOAIR Air-coupled Ultrasonic Pulser-Receiver 4C system (a four-channel unit with 35–750 kilohertz frequency range and 400-volt, 2-kilowatt pulse capacity), designated as a total small business set-aside and determined sole source under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i); a $22.1 thousand purchase order (August 12, 2025) for Sonoflow CO.55 ultrasonic flow-monitoring sensors; and a $158.6 thousand purchase order (July 20, 2026) for SONOWARE software (single-seat air-coupled ultrasonic testing license with A-scan, C-scan, and D-scan functions), a SONOAIR Control and Measurement Computer, a SONOAIR Ultrasonic Waveform Digitizer (14-bit amplitude, 125 megasamples per second), one Large Horizontal Scanner (1200 mm by 1700 mm XY scan area), and eight units of assembling, system setup, and instruction (four days total, including travel and accommodation for two Sonotec employees). The July 2026 award specifies performance in Germany; the others specify performance in Hauppauge. All three awards were determined sole source; none employed set-asides beyond the small business designation on the 2025 pulser-receiver order. Activity was two awards in 2025 and one in 2026, representing ad hoc equipment procurement rather than a sustained or growing contract relationship. Sonotec has no subcontract footprint in the federal space and operates entirely as a prime.
