KINEMETRICS INC

Kinemetrics Inc. specializes in the design, manufacture, and deployment of high-precision seismic instrumentation and geophysical monitoring systems for critical infrastructure and scientific research. The company develops and integrates advanced seismic digitizers, sensor arrays, and real-time data acquisition platforms used in earthquake early warning, structural health monitoring, and geohazard assessment. Their technical expertise spans analog-to-digital signal conditioning, low-noise sensor interfacing, field-deployable data loggers, and near-real-time telemetry systems for remote seismic networks. Kinemetrics also delivers custom software solutions for remote network management, data retrieval, and automated event detection, enabling agencies to maintain distributed sensor fleets with minimal on-site intervention. The contractor maintains a strong, recurring relationship with the Department of the Interior, supplying mission-critical seismic equipment for national monitoring programs including the National Strong Motion Project. They also support the Department of Commerce’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center with ruggedized sensor systems and environmental monitoring software tailored for coastal and offshore seismic networks. Their work is focused on operational resilience, data integrity, and rapid response capability in high-risk geologic environments. Kinemetrics operates primarily within NAICS 334513, manufacturing instruments for measuring and controlling industrial process variables—specifically, high-fidelity seismic sensors and digitizers—and extends into related domains such as geophysical surveying and analytical laboratory instrumentation. Their market positioning is that of a niche supplier of mission-essential geophysical hardware and integrated monitoring systems, serving federal science and emergency response missions with engineered reliability. Based in Pasadena, California, Kinemetrics Inc. is a small business structured as a 2L entity with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic presence is centered in Southern California, aligning with their focus on seismically active regions and proximity to key federal science and hazard mitigation partners.
