Tekscan Inc.

Tekscan Inc., a Massachusetts-based manufacturer of pressure and force measurement systems, operates as a prime contractor exclusively across federal agencies, with no subcontract footprint. The for-profit Subchapter S corporation competes in full-and-open as well as small-business set-aside procurements, with recent activity showing awards under both Total Small Business designations and unrestricted competition.

Tekscan's federal capability portfolio centers on specialized pressure mapping sensors, force measurement systems, and high-speed data acquisition equipment serving defense, medical, and research applications. The vendor manufactures pressure mapping sensor pads for tire conditioning and military aircraft tire testing (C-17, F-15, KC-46, B-21 models), in-sole gait-analysis systems, and VersaTek pressure mapping systems for interface measurement and centrifugal testing. Representative recent work includes a $248,891.64 definitive contract from the Engineer Research and Development Center (awarded September 2025) for a tire pressure mapping sensor pad system capable of measuring pressures up to 1,500 psi at 20,000 frames per second with on-site installation and calibration; a $114,181 purchase order from the Army's Research Development and Engineering Command (November 2024) for an 8-resolution Strideway System gait-analysis platform; and a $93,013.11 sole-source purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers (March 2024) for a VersaTek Pressure Mapping System for geotechnical research. Tekscan also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $29,518.25 with the Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, running through April 2027, for pressure mapping sensors supporting the Patriot Radar Shelter Recapitalization and Reset Program at Letterkenny Army Depot; three delivery orders totaling approximately $12,046.22 have been issued under this IDC to date, most recently a $5,103.42 delivery order (January 2026) designated as a Total Small Business set-aside.

Customer concentration across 42 distinct federal agencies is dispersed. The top five customers by award count account for 33% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (14 awards, $89 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Army Medical Command (9 awards, $224 thousand), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (8 awards, $203 thousand), the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (6 awards, $99 thousand), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (5 awards, $72 thousand). The top-five ranking by combined potential value shifts slightly toward Army Research Development and Engineering Command ($236 thousand across 5 awards), suggesting that Redstone's volume-driven presence masks higher-value RDECOM orders elsewhere in the portfolio.

Award volume has declined in recent years — one award in 2025 and one in 2026 against four in 2024, two in 2023, and one in 2022 — despite a long history of federal work dating back to 2002. Combined potential value across all 129 prime awards stands at $2.6 million, with combined obligated dollars reaching $2.8 million. The primary NAICS categories reflect manufacturing specialization: Electronic Capacitor Manufacturing (37 awards), Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (30 awards), and Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Industrial Process Variables (18 awards). The top PSC codes track similarly — Medical and Surgical Instruments (32 awards) and Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (24 awards) — underscoring Tekscan's positioning as a specialized measurement-sensor manufacturer serving both defense sensor applications and medical-research markets.
