Thunder Scientific Corp

Thunder Scientific Corp, a for-profit manufacturer of humidity generation, measurement, and calibration equipment based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) supplying specialized environmental testing systems and repair services to federal defense and civilian agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no recurring set-aside posture. The company competes predominantly through its GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract and direct purchase orders from Department of Defense and Department of the Interior customers.

Thunder Scientific's capability portfolio centers on three core product lines: automated humidity generators (Model 2900, Model 3920, Model 9500 series), low-humidity generation systems, and pressure humidity generators, paired with calibration services, equipment repair, and technical support. Representative work includes a $316,300 delivery order from the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command (June 2024) for low humidity generators under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $211,062 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (April 2024) for a Model 3920 low humidity generator; a $354,825 purchase order from NASA Kennedy Space Center (June 2023) for an automated humidity generator with two-year warranty and training; and a $174,622 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2023) for ten air compressor systems supporting Navy calibration labs.

Customer concentration sits with Department of Defense components. The top five customers account for 47% of awards by count and 48% of combined potential value. Naval Sea Systems Command leads at 39 awards ($2.6 million combined potential value), followed by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment at 30 awards ($1.6 million), and Naval Air Systems Command's Naval Air Warfare Center at 14 awards ($862 thousand). The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (24 awards, $380 thousand) and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (18 awards, $373 thousand) round out the active set. The concentration is heavily weighted toward DoD and logistics customers rather than civilian research or NASA.

Thunder Scientific holds a $475,000 GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (awarded December 29, 2023, through December 28, 2028) covering three automated humidity generation system models under SIN 334515, with 53 task orders carrying $2.9 million in combined potential value. The schedule permits delivery orders up to $250,000 per order with delivery within 365 days and net-30 payment terms. The vendor also places work under four additional IDC vehicles, each with one task order. Activity has declined—from 17 awards in 2022 to three in the first quarter of 2026—representing a downward trajectory. Only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $30 thousand), meaning minimal recompete exposure in the near term.

Thunder Scientific subcontracts minimally (1% of recent awards). Named sub relationships include calibration and repair work for Raytheon Company (August 2025) and management-and-operating support under Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC's Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex Plant contract (August–September 2024). The source does not specify dollar values for these sub-awards.

The company's federal footprint spans 46 distinct customer agencies and $12.7 million in combined potential value across 290 awards (115% obligated), with primary NAICS concentration in instruments and related products manufacturing for measuring, displaying, and controlling industrial process variables (90 awards) and instruments for measuring and testing electrical signals (72 awards). Purchase orders dominate the contract type mix, reflecting a transactional procurement posture typical of equipment and consumable suppliers. Performance locations include the vendor's Albuquerque facility, Navy and Air Force sites, and remote locations including Boise, Idaho; West Mifflin, Pennsylvania; and Kennedy Space Center.
