Tibidabo Scientific Industries (Usa), Inc.

Tibidabo Scientific Industries (Usa), Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit entity based in Madison, Connecticut, manufactures and supplies high-precision optical and laboratory instrumentation to federal agencies as a prime contractor (44% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor (56% of recent awards). The vendor specializes in photon counting imaging tubes, photomultiplier tubes, scientific cameras, and related optical equipment, with recent prime awards spanning both full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles.

The vendor's customer base is diffuse across research and defense agencies. Four customers account for 78% of recent awards by count, anchored by the Department of the Air Force (one award, $691,620 potential value), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (one award, $57,122 potential value), and the National Cancer Institute under the National Institutes of Health (two awards, $43,000 combined potential value). The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration and the Department of the Navy each appear in the customer set. By dollar value, the Air Force dominates at $691,620 from a single small-business set-aside purchase order for ten pulsed low-light-level scientific cameras, awarded April 29, 2024, with completion due April 4, 2025. NIST's $57,122 full-and-open purchase order for a photon counting imaging tube with bialkali photocathode and microchannel plate configuration, awarded April 24, 2026, represents the most recent prime work. The National Cancer Institute purchases ($21,525 each) procured photomultiplier tubes with voltage divider networks and general laboratory instruments in mid-2023, both full-and-open. A recompete cliff of $57,000 in potential value occurs in the next twenty-four months.

Tibidabo operates as a subcontractor on defense and national laboratory programs. Triad National Security, LLC engages the vendor on two sub-awards related to Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operations (April 2026 for intensifier equipment and January 2024 for laboratory and scientific equipment), representing the largest named sub-relationship. Viasat Inc., HX5 LLC, and Valkyrie Enterprises each hold one sub-award spanning gimballess optical labor, Department of Defense optical equipment, and MIT Lincoln Laboratory research and development optical procurements. Activity is sparse and steady — two to three awards per year across 2023 through 2026 — with nine total awards (four prime, five sub) carrying $792,000 in combined potential value. The vendor's capability concentration centers on analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (three awards) and research and development in the physical and engineering sciences (two awards), with laboratory equipment and supplies as the primary PSC framing.
