Willrich Precision Instrument Company, Inc.

Willrich Precision Instrument Company, Inc., a New Jersey-based small business specializing in precision measurement equipment and metrology services, operates primarily as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) supplying gages, scanners, coordinate measuring machines, and dimensional inspection instruments to Department of Defense agencies. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Cresskill, New Jersey, and competes across both total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements with no stated SBA certifications beyond small-business status.

Willrich's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army and Navy procurement commands. The top five funding agencies account for 60% of recent award count and 87% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command anchors the portfolio with 24 awards worth $6.1 million combined potential value, driven by recurring procurements of precision gages, laser scanners, bore measurement systems, and coordinate measuring machines supporting Watervliet Arsenal and other Army facilities. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Troop Support organizations combined account for 91 awards but with lower per-award values ($482 thousand and $156 thousand respectively), reflecting high-volume, low-dollar consumable gage and caliper orders. The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Air Warfare Center round out the concentration with 28 awards totaling $619 thousand. Recent representative prime work includes a $666.7 thousand TACOM total small business set-aside delivery order (June 2024) for MetraScan 3D-R systems with collaborative robot integration; a $451.2 thousand TACOM total small business set-aside (June 2024) for custom chamber gages for bore gage applications; and a $272.8 thousand TACOM total small business set-aside (November 2024) for an ATOS Q 12M scanning system. Willrich also holds a $250 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (through February 2030) for electronic spring testers under National Stock Number 4610118230.

Willrich's vehicle footprint centers on DLA and Army Materiel Command indefinite delivery contracts. The top parent vehicles—DLA Indefinite Delivery Contracts SPM44005D0509 and SPM44004D1834, and Army Materiel Command contracts W519TC23D0015 and W52P1J19D0075—carry modest order volumes (13, 8, 6, and 3 task orders respectively) but sustain recurring purchasing relationships. The vendor does not appear to hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts or GSA schedules in the award record.

Activity has grown modestly but unevenly: six awards in 2022, eleven in 2023, twenty-five in 2024, then declining to fifteen in 2025 and five through March 2026. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $181 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The portfolio's top NAICS codes reflect the vendor's core business—Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (55 awards), Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing (29 awards), and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (23 awards)—with PSC concentration in Inspection Gages and Precision Layout Tools (59 awards) and Physical Properties Testing and Inspection (44 awards).

Willrich operates as a subcontractor to General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes Barre) and General Dynamics-OTS on ammunition production capacity expansion projects, specifically providing precision gaging equipment, vision systems, and rejection standards for 155mm projectile manufacturing (M795 and M1128 variants) and coordinate measuring machine support. A sub-award to Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (June 2025) involved shop equipment provision. The subcontract footprint is modest—eleven sub-awards total, all to tier-one defense primes—and represents a material deviation from the vendor's predominant prime-contractor posture.

Willrich specializes in reselling and systems integration of precision metrology equipment from OEMs including Mitutoyo, Creaform (MetraScan), ATOS, Sylvac, Fowler, Mahr, and Bowers, positioning itself as an authorized distributor and installation partner rather than as a manufacturer or developer of proprietary instruments. The company supports infrastructure at Watervliet Arsenal, the Army Research Laboratory, Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona, and military maintenance depots across the continental United States, with all work performed at Cresskill or at customer facilities (Watervliet Arsenal, Aberdeen Proving Ground, and subordinate defense installations). Dollar magnitude per award typically ranges from under one thousand dollars for commodity gages to $666 thousand for integrated scanning systems, with annual procurement clustering around 15–25 orders across the active customer base.
