Trescal, Inc.

Trescal, Inc., headquartered in Howell, Michigan, provides calibration, repair, and asset management services for test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) to the federal government as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) and subcontractor on specialized defense programs. The company competes in open federal procurements without set-aside designations and holds no SBA certifications. Trescal has been SAM-registered since January 2002 and operates from multiple locations including Howell, Newport (Rhode Island), and Beaufort (South Carolina), with work performed at military installations and customer sites across CONUS and select overseas locations.

Trescal's federal capability portfolio centers on ISO/IEC 17025 compliant calibration of precision instruments, on-site and off-site repair services, diagnostic testing, and replacement parts support for military and civilian equipment. Representative prime work includes a $286,900 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity (awarded September 2023) for TMDE calibration and repair of equipment used by the 249th Engineer Battalion; a $220,526.90 definitive contract modification with Naval Computer and Telecommunications (awarded April 2023) to exercise option period three for N6 calibration base services through April 2027 performed in Howell, Michigan; and a $158,936.04 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Coast Guard (awarded October 2022) for aviation equipment calibration services at the SILC Base ATC in Mobile, Alabama, with three one-year option periods. Recent smaller awards include a $24,204 delivery order from the Marine Corps (June 2026) for ATC calibrations at MCAS Cherry Point and an $18,566.92 purchase order from the Coast Guard (August 2026) for calibration of tools and instruments used by the Aviation Department for aircraft and night-vision goggle maintenance performed at McKinleyville, California.

Customer concentration sits with the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command, which leads both by dollars and award count. The top five funding agencies account for 56% of recent awards by count and 84% by combined potential value, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (20 awards, $6.4 million combined potential value), the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (8 awards, $1.8 million), the Marine Corps (22 awards, $655 thousand), Army Cyber Command (4 awards, $508 thousand), and the Coast Guard (13 awards, $418 thousand). The divergence between award-count and potential-value rankings reflects Navy's larger individual task-order values relative to Marine Corps and Coast Guard volumes.

Trescal holds three significant indefinite delivery vehicles: a single-award IDC with Army Contracting Command-Redstone valued at $635,084 for calibration and repair services at Letterkenny Army Depot running through February 2026, with recent delivery orders of $232,969 (October 2024) and $204,268 (October 2023) for depot production support in Howell; a single-award BPA with Naval Sea Systems Command valued at $380,799 through September 2025 for on-site calibration services across naval installations (San Diego, Mayport, Ediz Hook, Fort Story), with three recent task orders valued at $100,176 (May 2023), $81,734 (July 2024), and $111,635 (July 2025); and a single-award IDC with the Marine Corps valued at $40,340 awarded June 2026 for annual TMDE calibrations at MCAS Cherry Point through June 2029. The top parent vehicles in the portfolio reflect these core IDCs, with an additional IDC identified as M6700120D1009 carrying 6 task orders and $86 thousand combined value.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years—from 14 awards annually in 2022 and 2023 to 6 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 3 through August 2026—suggesting aging backlog or reduced procurement velocity. Combined potential value across all 127 awards (prime and sub) stands at $11.7 million, with obligated dollars at $4.4 million (38% execution rate). Only one award with combined potential value of $221 thousand is scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete cliff pressure in the near term but signaling renewal risk if existing IDCs expire without extension.

In its subcontractor role, Trescal delivers calibration and repair labor to Lockheed Martin on ECM LCSM and CBRN programs (five sub awards from June 2023 through March 2025, with cost-plus-fixed-fee and time-and-materials labor pricing) and to Peraton on space communications relay satellite support and ground systems work for NASA's Space Communications and Navigation program (June 2025 sub award for semi-annual repair and calibration services at Goddard Space Flight Center). The subcontract base is minimal—5 awards, or 4% of the portfolio—indicating Trescal operates predominantly as a prime on direct government awards.

Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 811219 (Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) for 82 awards and NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) for 27 awards. PSC codes reflect the same concentration: 33 awards under maintenance/repair/rebuild of instruments and laboratory equipment, 16 under measuring tools, and 15 under quality control and test shop equipment. All awards reviewed carry firm fixed-price or time-and-materials pricing structures with no set-aside designations, positioning Trescal as a full-and-open federal contractor competing on technical capability and cost rather than small-business status.
