About Spectrum Petrographics Inc.
Spectrum Petrographics Inc., a Subchapter S Corporation manufacturer based in Vancouver, Washington, supplies petrographic rock sample preparation and polished thin-section analysis services to federal research agencies as a prime contractor under small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The company is a certified small business competing across both total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements; set-aside designations recur in recent awards but do not dominate the historical footprint.
The company's capability portfolio centers on specialized geological sample preparation: polished thin sections, microprobe thin sections, slabbed and cut samples mounted on glass slides, high-resolution petrographic photography, and K+P chemical staining. Representative work includes a $40.25 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), awarded March 7, 2025, for standard and microprobe polished thin sections supporting minerals research in Alaska's Yukon-Tanana upland region, with four potential one-year option periods running through March 4, 2027; a $20.65 thousand USGS purchase order awarded May 15, 2026, for preparation of 350 rock samples to 30-micrometer thickness with final lapping using 0.5-micrometer abrasive; and an $11.11 thousand USGS award from August 22, 2025, for polished rounds supporting geological research in Alaska, the Caribbean-Florida region, and Hawaii. All work carries Service Contract Act wage-floor requirements and standard 6-week turnaround with substandard sample replacement at no charge.
Customer concentration is singular. The Department of the Interior's USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 14 of 18 awards listed (75% of the award count) and $359 thousand of $405 thousand combined potential value (88%), with secondary exposure to the USGS Hawaii Volcano Observatory, the CDC, and the EPA. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor — zero subcontract relationships appear in the award footprint — and does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles or agency-wide IDIQs; all work flows through individual purchase orders issued directly by USGS. Recent activity shows one award in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Three awards with combined potential value of $72 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. The company has maintained a contractual relationship with USGS since SAM.gov registration in 2003, with combined obligated funding across the 24-award portfolio reaching $384 thousand (95% of combined potential value).
