Transcat, Inc.

Transcat, Inc. (Transcat Division) is a publicly traded, for-profit technical services company headquartered in Rochester, New York, that provides precision calibration, testing, measurement, and repair services for sophisticated laboratory, biomedical, and test equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) on full-and-open, unrestricted procurements with no small business set-aside designations.

Transcat operates as an established large business without SBA certifications, competing exclusively on open vehicles and direct federal contracts. The company's capability portfolio centers on ISO 17025-accredited calibration services for test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE), pipette calibration for compliance with accreditation requirements, biomedical device testing and maintenance, gage calibration including dimensional, electrical, mechanical, mass, force, and weighing gages, navigation system repairs, and equipment repair and restoration services. Representative prime work includes a $1,548,900 five-year Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Coast Guard for an estimated 4,225 to 4,770 annual calibration and repair tasks (awarded September 2025), a $781,795.90 Joint Munitions Command purchase order for gage calibration at Crane, Indiana running through April 2026 with weekly pickup and delivery on approximately 4,650 active and inactive gages, a $2 million five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command for TMDE calibration at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division (awarded March 2026), a $127,742.94 Department of Veterans Affairs contract covering preventative and corrective maintenance and calibration for 150+ pieces of biomedical testing equipment at the Washington DC VA Medical Center through March 2031, and a $115,329.25 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contract for calibration services through August 2028.

Customer concentration is moderate across federal agencies. The top five funding sources account for 44% of recent awards by count but 80% of combined potential value, driven by Naval Sea Systems Command (43 awards, $6.8 million combined potential value) and the U.S. Coast Guard (25 awards, $4.4 million combined potential value). The Defense Health Agency ($1.2 million across 6 awards), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 ($327 thousand across 3 awards), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ($234 thousand across 3 awards) round out the active portfolio. The Navy and Coast Guard anchor the dollars; the Drug Enforcement Administration drives secondary volume through recurring micro-purchase pipette calibration orders averaging under $900 per call.

Transcat maintains active positions on five named Indefinite Delivery Contracts, led by IDC 70Z03820DE0000001 (15 task orders, $1.3 million combined potential value), with four additional IDCs carrying 4 task orders each. The $1,548,900 Coast Guard IDC effective through September 2030 and the $2 million Naval Sea Systems Command BPA through March 2031 represent the largest fixed vehicles. Transcat also holds a $60,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Air Force Reserve Command for GPU maintenance services through November 2028.

Activity has trended upward year over year—ten awards in 2022 to twenty-four in 2025—though 2026 year-to-date shows only seven awards (reflecting partial-year data as of mid-July). Six awards with combined potential value of $450 thousand reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on those vehicles. Transcat's SCI-reported invoiced revenue is minimal (one sub record totaling 0.1 FTE in FY2022), reflecting that the vast majority of the company's federal work—primarily goods (test equipment, instruments) and small purchase orders under the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold—falls outside the Service Contract Inventory dataset.

In its subcontractor role, Transcat provides calibration, repair, and engineering services to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp on multiple fuze system engineering and artillery platform delivery orders, to Vigor Marine LLC on ship overhaul gauge calibration for USNS Guadalupe and USS Kidd, to KBR Services LLC on medical calibration and repair for Marine Corps Prepositioning Program operations in Norway, to Lockheed Martin Corporation on vertical launching system electronics calibration and CV22 Link 16 equipment lease management, to Science Applications International Corporation on calibration of Keysight measurement instruments for propulsion test facility operations, to Electric Boat Corporation on streamlined design coupons for SSBN 826, and to Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC on multi-function fuze production engineering services. These sub relationships position Transcat as a feeder supplier and specialized repair capability within larger prime engineering and shipbuilding programs.

Transcat's award portfolio is concentrated in electrical and electronic equipment measurement and testing (116 PSC Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments awards), equipment maintenance and repair (31 awards under Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment), and pressure, temperature, and humidity instrumentation (19 awards). By NAICS, the vendor clusters around Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing (54 awards), Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity (52 awards), and Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (52 awards), reflecting a business model anchored on calibration and maintenance of measurement instrumentation for military, defense health, and civilian laboratory missions. All recent awards carry firm fixed-price structures and no small business set-aside designations.
