About the company

Spectro Scientific, Inc., doing business as Spectro Inc., a Chelmsford, Massachusetts-based manufacturer of fluid analysis instruments and a subsidiary of Ametek Inc., operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) competing on full and open basis across the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and Coast Guard, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The company manufactures portable and laboratory analytical equipment for fluid condition monitoring, including spectrometers, viscometers, particle analyzers, and the Expeditionary Fluid Analysis System (EFAS), a Small Business Innovation Research Phase III portable device enabling field analysis of aircraft fluids to support maintenance and mission readiness.

Spectro Scientific's customer concentration is dominated by Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base, which accounts for 105 awards valued at $157.2 million combined potential value—60% of the company's $262.4 million overall portfolio. The next tier includes the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (25 awards, $36.7 million), the United States Marine Corps (13 awards, $17.3 million), and the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center (18 awards, $14.6 million). The top five customers represent 88% of combined potential value, with the Air Force Robins facility alone representing nearly 60% of dollar concentration. Three-quarters of Spectro's 680 awards are concentrated across five customer organizations.

Spectro Scientific holds two significant indefinite delivery contracts anchoring recent prime work. The $39.85 million SBIR Phase III Indefinite Delivery Contract with Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, awarded June 2, 2021, funds delivery orders for EFAS development, testing, and production through 2026; recent task orders include a $774,409 order (September 24, 2025) and a $39.85 million order (September 18, 2025) for EFAS units, both issued under firm fixed-price full and open competition. The $13.73 million oil spectrometer repair and support IDC with the same contracting office, awarded March 1, 2025, extends through March 1, 2030, and funds multiple delivery orders for spectrometer maintenance, repair, telephone support, and on-site testing; notable recent orders include $916,000 (December 30, 2025, completion December 21, 2026) and $525,810.55 (March 6, 2025, completion March 9, 2026). Spectro also sits on a $900,000 single-award IDC with the Aviation branch of the Department of Defense (November 24, 2025, completion November 20, 2027) for oil spectrometer repair and support services. Additionally, the company holds positions on Federal Supply Schedules GS24F0065N (47 task orders, $2.4 million combined potential value) and GS00F2362A (19 task orders), drawing purchase orders from multiple agencies for spectrometers, viscometers, analyzers, and consumables.

Recent activity shows modest growth: Spectro earned 22 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 28 in 2024, 31 in 2025, and 5 through April 2026. Only seven awards (combined potential value $2.2 million) complete in the next twenty-four months, creating limited near-term recompete exposure. The company's award velocity and dollar concentration remain stable; obligated dollars across all awards total $146.4 million, or 56% of combined potential value.

Spectro Scientific operates across 273 awards in analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (NAICS 3826), 72 in equipment repair and maintenance (3825), and 29 in other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (3826), with primary Product Service Code concentration in optical instruments and test equipment (177 awards) and maintenance/repair/rebuild of instruments and laboratory equipment (85 awards). Work is performed at the Chelmsford headquarters and includes installation, training, preventive maintenance, calibration, repair services, and component deliveries. In its subcontractor role, Spectro supplies diffraction grating spectrometers, FieldLab units, oil analysis equipment, and verification fluids to Science Applications International Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., Amentum Services Inc., and Defense Systems and Solutions on foreign military sales and international program support work.
