About the company
Valco Instruments Co Inc., a for-profit partnership or limited liability partnership headquartered in Houston, Texas, manufactures precision analytical and scientific instrumentation — primarily gas valves, valve actuators, gas generators, and related components for analytical and oceanographic research — and sells exclusively as a prime contractor to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no subcontracting footprint. The vendor competes across small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements with equal frequency; recent work includes total small business set-aside awards alongside no-set-aside firm fixed-price purchase orders. Valco owns a subsidiary, Vici Metronics, Inc., a manufacturer of goods.
Valco's customer concentration reflects a scattered federal research and logistics footprint. The top five funding agencies account for 47% of awards and 69% of combined potential value, with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command leading on both count (12 awards, $254 thousand combined potential value) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration close behind (10 awards, $127 thousand). The Navy Naval Supply Systems Command places seven awards ($89 thousand); the Army Test and Evaluation Command places four ($54 thousand); and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center and the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh round out the active set. NOAA's multi-year demand for specialized gas sampling valves, rotary valves, and pulse detectors reflects sole-source justification based on Valco's manufacturing proprietary to NOAA's oceanographic instrumentation standards. Army RDECOM's work centers on maintenance, repair, and recalibration of Dynacalibrator gas generators and related precision equipment.
Valco's award history is granular: 76 total prime awards across twenty-two agencies since 1997, with recent activity at two to three awards per year. Awards cluster at under $80 thousand in ceiling value; the combined potential value across all awards is $881 thousand, though obligated dollars total $959 thousand, indicating Valco regularly invoices near or above ceiling. Two awards face recompete inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $141 thousand). NAICS concentration is sharply defined: 48 of 76 awards fall under Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (NAICS 334516), with smaller populations in equipment repair and maintenance, valve manufacturing, and sealing-device manufacturing. PSC coding mirrors this specialization — 26 awards carry Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (PSC 6665), 11 carry Valves, Powered (PSC 4720), and seven carry Valves, Nonpowered (PSC 4710). Recent representative work includes a $78.7 thousand VICI TRAS gas analyzer purchase order from the NASA Shared Services Center (September 2026), a $62.4 thousand option-year-two exercise with Army RDECOM for Dynacalibrator preventive maintenance and recalibration (September 2024), and a $39.3 thousand sole-source NOAA order for gas valve inventory (June 2023).
