About Swabian Instruments Usa, Inc.
Swabian Instruments Usa, Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of German manufacturer Swabian Instruments GMBH, sells specialized precision time-measurement instrumentation — high-resolution time taggers, time-to-digital converters, and single-photon counting systems — to federal research agencies as a prime contractor on sole-source and full-and-open purchase orders. The company does not compete under small business set-asides and operates from Boston, Massachusetts, with primary NAICS coverage in instrument manufacturing for electrical measurement (10 awards) and analytical laboratory instrumentation (2 awards).
Swabian Instruments Usa operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards, 13 of 14 total). Its federal footprint spans six customer agencies concentrated in research and development: the Air Force Research Laboratory leads by dollar value with four awards worth $275 thousand combined potential value; the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) follows with five awards worth $134 thousand, anchoring the vendor's longest-standing customer relationship; and NASA Shared Services Center, the Army Research Development and Engineering Command, and the Office of Naval Research round out the active set. The two rankings align closely — AFRL dominates both volume and dollars.
Recent capability work centers on quantum networking and advanced metrology research. Representative awards include a $97.3 thousand sole-source purchase order from AFRL in June 2024 for two Time Tagger X streaming time-to-digital converters and 12 input channel upgrade kits; a $64.6 thousand sole-source award from NASA for a Time Tagger X system for Goddard Space Flight Center; a $67.7 thousand sole-source purchase order from Army Research Development and Engineering Command in February 2024 for 10 input channels for the Time Tagger Ultra and 14 channels for the Time Tagger X; and multiple NIST awards including a $42.4 thousand purchase order in June 2026 for a high-resolution 4-measurement-channel Time Tagger and a $21.3 thousand Total Small Business set-aside award in September 2025 for a time tagging electronics module. NIST justified repeat sole-source procurements on grounds of software continuity and existing measurement libraries developed with prior Swabian equipment.
Activity has remained steady at four awards per year through 2024, with five awards in 2025 and one award (most recent, June 2026) in 2026. The combined potential value across the portfolio is $592 thousand, with only one award reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months ($29 thousand recompete exposure). The vendor carries one subcontract relationship as a sub-awardee to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. under a January 2025 award for Time Tagger systems. Swabian Instruments Usa operates as the U.S. sales and support entity for its German parent, concentrating federal business in civilian research agencies that procure specialized instrumentation for quantum science, single-photon detection, and precision timing research.
