About the company
Vacuum One Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Chicago, Illinois, supplies specialized vacuum equipment, gas delivery systems, and laboratory instrumentation to federal research and defense agencies as a prime contractor on direct-award purchase orders. The company competes under total small business set-asides on approximately half of its prime awards and under full-and-open competitive bidding on the remainder, with no participation on government-wide vehicles or IDIQs; it also provides vacuum pumping systems and industrial pumps to the Department of Energy's National Security Campus through subcontracts to Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies.
Vacuum One's customer base concentrates across mission-critical federal research and production facilities. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of recent prime awards by count and 98% by potential value: NIST leads potential value at $234 thousand across two awards (a $170,745 CBR4 Gas Delivery System replacement order and a $63,415 nitrogen RF plasma source, both firm fixed-price purchase orders with delivery in 2027), followed by NASA's Shared Services Center at $71 thousand across four awards (including a $41,976 mechanical vacuum pump for NASA Glenn Research Center awarded September 2025), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers at $50 thousand, the Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs at $31 thousand, and USDA's Grain Inspection service at $19 thousand. NIST and NASA SSC dominate both volume and dollars, with NIST anchoring the largest single contract at $170,745.
The vendor's capability footprint centers on precision vacuum-system components and laboratory equipment. Top NAICS categories include analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (4 awards), facilities support services (3 awards), pump and pumping equipment manufacturing (2 awards), and semiconductor manufacturing-support equipment (2 awards). Representative prime work spans a total small business purchase order for a mechanical Edwards Stokes 412 pump (300 CFM, 3.3 Pa ultimate pressure, hydrogen-safe rating) to NASA Glenn in 2025; a NIST small business set-aside order for CBR4 gas delivery equipment supporting carbon doping of MBE-grown semiconductor devices; and full-and-open purchase orders from NIST for nitrogen RF plasma sources and from USDA FGIS for Applied Thermal Control recirculation chillers. On the sub side, Vacuum One supplies vacuuming and industrial pumps under Honeywell's Department of Energy National Security Campus management contract (DE-NA0002839), with three sub-awards spanning 2024 through August 2026.
Activity has been sparse and episodic — one award in 2020 and 2022, one in 2024, then acceleration to three awards each in 2025 and 2026 — with recent momentum concentrated in the past eighteen months. Two awards (the two NIST purchase orders) totaling $234 thousand in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for the vendor. The company's total combined potential value across fourteen awards since 2013 stands at $413 thousand, though obligated dollars across those awards total $654 thousand, indicating invoiced revenue in excess of contract ceiling values on prior work. Vacuum One operates without presence on prime contract vehicles, competing solely on direct agency solicitations as a point-to-point supplier of specialized equipment to research institutions, national laboratories, and technical facilities.
