About the company
Thermal Wave Imaging Inc., operating as TWI, manufactures nondestructive inspection (NDI) systems and thermographic equipment for defense and civilian research agencies, competing predominantly as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) in full-and-open procurement with no set-aside footprint. The Madison Heights, Michigan-based company is a for-profit manufacturer classified primarily under NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with PSC codes spanning laboratory equipment, physical properties testing, and defense systems R&D.
Navy programs dominate TWI's customer base. The top five customers account for 51% of recent awards by count and 53% by potential value, with the Department of the Navy across multiple commands anchoring the relationship — the Navy general (8 awards, $25 million combined potential value), Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (17 awards, $5.8 million), Naval Air Systems Command (9 awards, $1.3 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $751 thousand). NASA and the Department of the Air Force round out the active customer set. TWI holds a seat on Navy Indefinite Delivery Contract N6833502D0033, from which it has drawn 4 task orders totaling $25 million in combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $95,900 firm fixed-price purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center in September 2026 for an EchoTherm IR NDI System upgrade with Mosaiq and Virtuoso software, completed at TWI's Madison Heights facility and deployed to NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, and a $220,800 FAR 12.102(a) sole-source purchase order from the Federal Aviation Administration in March 2022 for NDI equipment for the agency's R&D labs.
TWI's award activity has declined markedly over five years — from three awards in 2019 to one award each in 2022, 2025, and 2026 — though the dollar value of active work remains concentrated in the Navy's larger single-award and IDIQ vehicles. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal (one award, $96 thousand potential value). TWI subcontracts minimally (1% of recent awards); the source identifies one sub-award as of July 2025 under Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies for NDT system work on the Department of Energy's National Security Campus management and operation contract. Across eighty-seven total awards spanning 1994 to present, TWI's footprint centers on delivering thermal imaging, NDI systems, and related R&D equipment to Navy aircraft and surface platforms, Air Force test laboratories, and NASA research facilities.
