Thermo Eberline LLC

Thermo Eberline LLC Measurement Control And Sample Identification Division, doing business as Thermo Fisher Scientific, manufactures and supplies personal radiation detectors, thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readers and cards, electronic personal dosimeters, and related radiation measurement equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. Thermo Eberline is a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a for-profit organization headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts; the division operates from Franklin, Massachusetts with secondary operations in Westlake, Maryland, Tewksbury, Massachusetts, and Hillsboro, Oregon.

Thermo Eberline's federal customer footprint is heavily concentrated among defense and homeland security agencies. The top five agencies account for 97% of combined potential value across 321 recent awards spanning 79 distinct customer agencies. The Department of Homeland Security Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction office dominates by dollar volume—13 awards totaling $257.4 million in combined potential value, driven primarily by the $121.4 million Securing the Cities Personal Radiation Detectors (STC PRD) master indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command leads by award count with 109 awards valued at $79 million combined potential, anchored by two single-award Blanket Purchase Agreements: one for Model 8800 Harshaw thermoluminescent dosimeter reader maintenance (ceiling $3.2 million, through May 2029) and one for TLD cards and openers (ceiling $4.2 million, through March 2027). DHS Office of Procurement Operations places nine awards worth $6.1 million; the Naval Supply Systems Command places four awards worth $3.3 million; and Air Force Materiel Command Wright-Patterson AFB places five awards worth $1.3 million.

Thermo Eberline's work concentrates on radiation detection instrumentation and dosimetry systems supporting personnel safety, emergency response, and counter-weapons-of-mass-destruction missions across defense, homeland security, and civilian agencies. Representative prime work includes a $19.9 million April 2021 DHS CWMD delivery order for personal radiation detectors, training, and accessories; a $992.3 thousand May 2023 Air Force Life Cycle Management Center purchase order for TRUDOSE electronic personal dosimeters; a $723.1 thousand August 2021 Navy delivery order for DXT-707H extremity dosimeters, caps, rings, and TLD holders; and recurring $400 thousand to $1.4 million annual Navy delivery orders against the TLD reader and card BPAs. Recent smaller orders (2026) include a $761.4 thousand April DHS CWMD delivery order for 1,200 personal radiation detectors under the STC PRD IDIQ and a $199.5 thousand January DHS order for personal radiation detection devices. The vendor also holds equipment maintenance and warranty contracts with the NIH Clinical Center for preventive maintenance on PET stack monitors and radiation detectors (valued $133.9 thousand through May 2027), the Army Aviation and Missile Command for TLD reader maintenance and parts ($235.7 thousand through September 2027), and the EPA for dosimeters and radiation detection equipment ($23.4 thousand to $45.2 thousand per order).

Vehicle positioning shows Thermo Eberline's reliance on customer-specific and agency-wide IDIQs rather than government-wide acquisition contracts or GSA vehicles. The top five parent vehicles include the DHS indefinite delivery contract HSHQDN17D00002 (10 task orders, $46.7 million), three Navy IDIQs for reader maintenance and TLD supplies (N0016719D0003, N0016708D0027, N0016714D0001; combined 25 task orders, $5.5 million), and the STC PRD contract (6 task orders, $5.3 million). Activity has contracted materially—nine awards in 2022 to 18 in 2023, declining to 13 in 2024, seven in 2025, and two in the first quarter of 2026. Only six awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry recompete exposure, totaling $642 thousand in combined potential value; the larger dollar risk sits with the DHS CWMD relationship, where multiple task orders and the master IDIQ structure point to sustained but intermittent ordering.

Subcontract footprint is minimal—four sub-awards across the 321-award portfolio (1% of activity). Named subs include Pantexas Deterrence LLC (management and operation of the Pantex Plant), Applied Research Associates Inc. (test support equipment), University of Dayton (radiation safety sustainment and combat readiness capabilities), and Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC (Naval Nuclear Laboratory management and operations). These are deep-technical or facility-management relationships, not primary revenue drivers.

Thermo Eberline's capability concentration aligns with its manufacturing origin. The top NAICS categories are Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (158 awards), Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (40 awards), and Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (38 awards). The primary PSC drivers are Hazard-Detecting Instruments and Apparatus (59 awards), Stimulated Coherent Radiation Devices and Accessories (38 awards), and Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments (28 awards). Combined potential value across all awards stands at $358.5 million, with $92.9 million (26% of combined potential) obligated to date. First federal award in the source dates to June 2008, establishing Thermo Eberline as a long-standing federal supplier in the radiation measurement and dosimetry space.
