About the company
Swabian Instruments Usa, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer of precision time-tagging and photon-counting instrumentation, operates as a Boston-based subsidiary of Swabian Instruments GMBH and sells specialized laboratory measurement equipment to federal research agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The vendor competes full-and-open; recent awards carry no small business set-asides, and the vendor holds no certifications or designated small business status.
Swabian Instruments Usa manufactures time-to-digital converters, time tagging systems, and streaming electronic measurement devices used in quantum networking research, single-photon detection, and high-precision timing applications. Core products include the Time Tagger X (5-channel streaming architecture with 2-picosecond timing resolution), Time Tagger Ultra Performance Edition (4-measurement-channel configurations), and Time Tagger 20 systems, all paired with software development kits for Matlab, Python, LabVIEW, and C++ integration. Representative prime work includes a $76.2 thousand order from NIST (August 2026) for two Time Tagger X instruments supporting quantum network component and protocol testing; a $97.3 thousand order from Air Force Research Laboratory (June 2024) for two Time Tagger X converters and 12 channel upgrade kits for quantum network testbeds; and a $67.7 thousand order from Army Research Development and Engineering Command (February 2024) for 10 and 14 additional input channels for Time Tagger systems.
Federal customer concentration sits with research agencies. NIST accounts for 7 awards and $260 thousand combined potential value, followed closely by Air Force Research Laboratory with 4 awards and $275 thousand, NASA Shared Services Center with 2 awards and $87 thousand, Army Research Development and Engineering Command with 1 award and $68 thousand, and Office of Naval Research with 1 award and $29 thousand — collectively covering 94% of awards and 100% of combined potential value across all six customer agencies. The two ranking orders track closely, indicating consistent award magnitude across agencies.
Activity has remained relatively flat across the past four years (4 awards in 2023, 4 in 2024, 5 in 2025, 3 in 2026), with only 2 awards carrying completion dates within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $79 thousand), signaling minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates under NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) in 12 awards and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing in 2 awards. All procurement vehicles named in the awards are narrow: NIST purchase orders, Air Force Research Laboratory purchase orders, and a single sub-award under Atlantic Diving Supply's Special Operations Equipment contract (January 2025). Sole-source justifications consistently cite software continuity, existing measurement library compatibility with prior Swabian equipment, and lack of commercial reseller alternatives. Combined obligated dollars ($754 thousand) exceed combined potential value ($719 thousand) by 5%, reflecting actual spending against awarded ceiling values.
