About the company
The Edward Orton Jr Ceramic Foundation, a non-profit organization and equipment manufacturer based in Westerville, Ohio, supplies specialized laboratory and thermal-measurement instruments to federal agencies as a prime contractor on small purchases, with no subcontract footprint.
The Foundation operates as a non-profit entity competing full-and-open on small-dollar purchase orders. All six awards in the source data are prime contracts; the most recent three are NASA Shared Services Center purchases for thermal-analysis equipment. The Foundation holds sole-source authority on Hot Disk thermal-constants analyzers and high-temperature tube furnaces under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) — it has been determined to be the sole provider of these items. Recent work includes a $65,815 firm-fixed-price purchase order from NASA Shared Services Center on September 9, 2026, for a Hot Disk Thermal Constants Analyzer Model TPS 2200 with sensors, software modules, sample holders, and installation and training (completion by October 21, 2026); a $35,500 order from NASA on August 5, 2024, for a high-temperature tube furnace to support thermal-property evaluation at Glenn Research Center; and a $80,600 order from NASA on November 7, 2022, for a Hot Disk Model TPS 3500 thermal-constants analyzer. The Foundation also serves the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command and Picatinny Arsenal.
Customer concentration is heavily NASA-skewed. The NASA Shared Services Center accounts for 3 awards and $182 thousand of the Foundation's $221 thousand combined potential value (82% of dollars). The Army Materiel Command holds one award valued at $39 thousand. Activity is episodic — one award in 2005, 2011, 2022, 2024, and 2026 respectively — with one award reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months ($66 thousand potential value). The Foundation's capability portfolio centers on analytical laboratory instruments and thermal-measurement equipment under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, with secondary competency in industrial furnaces under NAICS 333994. Obligated dollars across all awards total $261 thousand, slightly exceeding the combined potential value of $221 thousand.
