About the company
Sumitomo (Shi) Cryogenics Of America Inc., doing business as Shi-Apd Cryogenics Inc., manufactures and maintains specialized cryogenic cooling equipment — mechanical cryocooler systems, coldheads, compressors, and cryopumps — as a prime contractor to federal science and research agencies, with no subcontract footprint. The company is a subsidiary of Japan-based Sumitomo Heavy Industries, LTD., headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and competes on full-and-open procurements, with occasional small-business set-asides when eligible. Recent purchase orders are firm fixed price with no standing IDIQs or master agreements visible in the active portfolio.
Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The National Institute of Standards and Technology dominates the award portfolio at 48 awards (63% of recent award count) and $3.3 million in combined potential value — representing 73% of Sumitomo's total potential value across all federal customers. The remaining 27% of potential value spreads across the Smithsonian Institution ($324 thousand, 18 awards), the Office of Naval Research ($211 thousand, 11 awards), NASA's Shared Services Center ($139 thousand, 6 awards), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke ($61 thousand, 1 award). These five agencies account for 90% of combined potential value and 63% of recent awards. The concentration around NIST is structural — the agency procures repetitively for its Superconductive Electronics Group and Physical Measurements Laboratory, placing orders for mechanical cryocooler systems compatible with Sumitomo RDK-series coldheads and related maintenance and component replacements.
The equipment portfolio is characterized by NAICS 28343 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing, 63 awards) and PSC codes for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (37 awards), Refrigeration Equipment (16 awards), and related maintenance categories. Representative recent work includes a $60 thousand purchase order from NIST for two 2.3K mechanical cryocooler systems with compressor and coldhead kits (awarded September 2026), a $139 thousand Office of Naval Research cryopump procurement (May 2024), and a $85 thousand NIST order for three mechanical cryocooler systems capable of 2.3K cooling with 0.1W power at 4.2K (March 2024). Sumitomo also holds a seat on NIST indefinite-delivery contracts for closed-cycle cryohead maintenance and preventive services, with at least six task orders placed against contract 1333ND19DNB680010 ($32 thousand combined potential value) and four against 1333ND19DNB680026 ($203 thousand combined potential value).
Activity has been episodic. Sumitomo recorded five awards in 2021, four in 2022, six in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026, with a combined potential value of $4.5 million across 153 total awards dating to 1988. Two awards (combined potential value $110 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating limited recompete exposure. The vendor's federal footprint is exclusively prime work — no subcontract activity appears in the source data — and no sub-awards to other contractors.
