About the company
Spectrum Petrographics Inc., a Vancouver, Washington-based small business and Subchapter S corporation, manufactures specialized petrographic thin sections and polished rock samples for federal scientific research as a prime contractor exclusively under small business set-asides. The company operates as a manufacturer of geological research materials with a singular federal customer focus: the U.S. Geological Survey.
Spectrum Petrographics' capability portfolio is narrowly specialized. The vendor prepares microbe-polished and standard petrographic thin sections of rock samples through a standardized manufacturing process — sample stabilization, trimming, embedding, cutting to 30-micron thickness, mounting on glass slides, final polishing with 0.5-micron abrasive, and optional chemical staining. Representative work includes a $25,960 purchase order awarded September 30, 2026 by USGS's Office of Acquisitions and Grants for microbe-polished thin sections supporting the Alaska Science Center (440 rock samples, six-week turnaround, performance through September 2028); a $20,650 order from May 15, 2026 for standard and microprobe-polished thin sections (350 samples); and a $40,250 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded March 7, 2025 for standard and microprobe polished thin sections supporting the USGS minerals program in Alaska's Yukon-Tanana upland region, with four optional one-year renewals.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Interior's USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 15 awards and $385 thousand of the vendor's $431 thousand combined potential value across all 25 federal awards (89% of volume and dollars). Four customer agencies appear across 25 awards dating to 2004, but the USGS relationship dominates; the CDC Pittsburgh and EPA Research Triangle Park have placed one to two nominal-value awards each. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor — zero subcontract footprint. Four awards totaling $98 thousand reach completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Activity has been sparse and uneven: three awards in 2020 and 2021, one in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026. The vendor has obligated $410 thousand against $431 thousand in combined potential value (95%), indicating consistent delivery against award ceilings.
