Unger Designs LLC

Unger Designs LLC, a Hillsboro, Oregon–based manufacturer of specialized gas analysis equipment, operates as a prime contractor exclusively with the U.S. Geological Survey, delivering multi-gas station systems for volcanic research and atmospheric monitoring. The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides, with its single-award IDIQ contract (140G0323D0008, $499 thousand, total small business set-aside through July 31, 2028) anchoring 55% of its combined potential value and six of eleven awards in the source.

Unger Designs holds a for-profit limited liability company structure and is classified as a manufacturer of goods under primary NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), which accounts for eight of eleven awards. The company's concrete capability centers on design and manufacturing of multi-gas analyzer systems — specialized instruments that enable collection of gaseous samples for earth science research, particularly volcanic monitoring and disaster assistance activities. Recent representative work includes a $107,958 delivery order (March 23, 2026, set aside as total small business) for multi-gas station systems under the IDIQ, a $104,814 delivery order (December 9, 2024, no set-aside) for complete systems, a $95,964 order (July 31, 2023) for multi-gas stations supporting the USGS Volcano Science Center, and earlier design-and-manufacturing purchase orders totaling $21,086 (August 2022) and $62,009 (August 2021). All work is performed in Hillsboro, Oregon.

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated with the Department of the Interior's USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants — all 11 awards and the full $1.1 million combined potential value derive from this single customer. This mono-customer profile reflects a specialized niche: USGS volcanic and atmospheric monitoring research depends on Unger Designs' proprietary multi-gas analyzer instrumentation with no substitutes in the source data. The IDIQ vehicle (140G0323D0008) has generated six delivery orders to date, with four issued since August 2023 and two additional orders due by June 2026. Combined dollars obligated amount to $637 thousand (56% of potential value), indicating steady execution. The recompete cliff shows two awards totaling $167 thousand reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest renewal risk. Activity trended upward from 2021 through 2023 (one award to four awards per year) before flattening in 2024–2026, reflecting the IDIQ's structure as a standing mechanism rather than a stream of new business wins. The vendor carries no subcontract work; all awards are primes.
