Trilion Quality Systems LLC

Trilion Quality Systems LLC, a King of Prussia, Pennsylvania–based manufacturer of precision 3D optical measurement and inspection equipment, operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) supplying digital image correlation systems, ARAMIS software, GOM Correlate licenses, and associated technical support to federal research and defense laboratories. The company is a for-profit limited liability company competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements; recent awards include both small-business set-aside and unrestricted designations, with set-aside work appearing selectively rather than as a programmatic posture.

Trilion's federal portfolio centers on recurring software licenses, maintenance renewals, and capital equipment procurement. Representative prime work includes a $209,798 SBIR Phase I contract from NASA's Shared Services Center (awarded September 2026) for integrated optical health management of cryogenic sustainable aviation fuel systems and aircraft structures, completing March 2027; a $553,399 total small business set-aside from NASA Glenn Research Center (September 2024) for two Phantom TMX 7510 high-speed cameras and accessories; a $257,000 purchase order from the Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation (September 2023) for a dual-head digital image correlation system; and a $176,700 order to the Washington Headquarters Service (August 2023) for an ARAMIS thermal chamber. Trilion also maintains recurring annual maintenance and software support contracts—dozens of smaller orders in the $10,000 to $46,000 range—for ARAMIS renewals, GOM Correlate licenses, and Trilion Silver Support packages across NASA centers and Air Force Research Laboratory facilities.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to civilian research infrastructure. The top five customer entities account for 50% of recent awards: NASA's Shared Services Center leads with 40 awards and $1.5 million combined potential value, followed by Air Force Research Laboratory (11 awards, $1.3 million), NASA Glenn Research Center (13 awards, $510 thousand), Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (8 awards, $294 thousand), and NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center (6 awards, $86 thousand). The dollar rankings and award-count rankings align closely—no divergence between volume and value customers—indicating consistent deal sizing across the customer base. Trilion has worked with 34 distinct federal agencies in the source window, but the top five agencies absorb half of total awards.

Trilion competes almost exclusively through firm fixed-price purchase orders rather than larger indefinite-delivery vehicles; the source identifies only one parent IDIQ, an Army indefinite delivery contract (W91CRB17D0009) carrying a single task order. The vendor's federal footprint is transactional and episodic rather than anchored to vehicle seats. Activity has declined year over year—ten awards in 2024, four in 2025, two in 2026—suggesting either a seasonal reporting lag or a contraction in federal optical-measurement demand. Only two awards (combined potential value $226 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, posing minimal recompete exposure.

In its subcontractor role, Trilion delivers specialized measurement equipment and analysis services. Recent subs include work for Lockheed Martin Corporation (September 2024) on ZEISS Inspect sensor driver development and digital image correlation component supply; Astrion Group LLC (February 2024) for an ARAMIS Professional adjustable base system supply; and Spirit Aerosystems Inc. (September 2022) for bonded aircraft structure certification and process-control materials analysis supporting Air Force Research Lab–directed R&D. The subcontract footprint is sparse—only four sub-awards in the source—compared to the 152 prime awards, underscoring Trilion's position as a specialized equipment vendor rather than a systems integrator or service contractor.

Trilion's capability portfolio reflects manufacturing NAICS concentration in Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (43 awards) and Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing (42 awards), with subordinate software-publishing work (12 awards). The company supplies both hardware—cameras, thermal chambers, DIC sensor systems—and software licenses and maintenance, serving federal aerospace, materials science, and advanced electronics research environments where high-speed imaging and digital image correlation are critical to development and test protocols.

We supply and develop 3D optical measurement systems and services, for measuring 3D coordinates (shape), 3D deformations and material strains, fully non-contact and full-field optical strain measurement.... the next generation of measurement capabilities.
