Advanced Instruments LLC

Advanced Instruments LLC, a for-profit manufacturer based in Norwood, Massachusetts, sells laboratory and diagnostic instrumentation, consumables, and related maintenance services to federal healthcare and research agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company does not compete under set-aside designations; all recent awards carry no set-aside language or were won in full-and-open competitions.

Advanced Instruments' federal footprint centers on analytical laboratory instruments and medical equipment supply. The company manufactures automated osmometers (OsmoPRO MAX, OsmoPRO, A2O, A20), anaerobic cultivation systems (Anoxomat III, Anoxomat jar systems), cell counters (GloCyte systems), and precision diagnostic devices including pipette calibration systems, intracranial pressure monitors, and plate reader instruments. Representative prime awards include a five-year $138.4 thousand sole-source definitive contract with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (awarded May 2026) for Artel MVS Advanced Care Plus BIO service agreements supporting DNA laboratory operations; a $249 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (August 2024) for a VIPS PRO instrument with software, installation, and training; a $338.7 thousand purchase order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (September 2025) for a Protein Biologic Analyzer system with auto-sampling capabilities; and a $199.8 thousand purchase order from the Indian Health Service (September 2023) for OsmoPRO MAX equipment and supplies under a Total Small Business set-aside.

Customer concentration is distributed across federal healthcare and research agencies. The top five funding customers by both award count and potential value account for 37% of combined potential value: the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 leads with 15 awards ($823 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Indian Health Service (11 awards, $688 thousand), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (9 awards, $622 thousand), VA VISN 10 (6 awards, $344 thousand), and VA VISN 2 (8 awards, $325 thousand). Across the footprint, the company serves 45 distinct federal agencies. Award volume has grown from 9 in 2022 to a peak of 26 in 2024, moderating to 16 in 2025 and 12 year-to-date in 2026.

Advanced Instruments holds three named parent vehicles, all single-award IDVs or BPAs with the VA and Indian Health Service. The largest is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (36C24622D0021) with VA Veterans Health Administration running through September 2026, with 5 task orders generating $364 thousand combined potential value for GloCyte System consumables. The Indian Health Service Blanket Purchase Agreement 75H71223A00015, established September 2023 with a $150 thousand ceiling through October 2028, carries 4 task orders worth $55 thousand for Anoxomat III systems and related supplies.

Thirteen awards totaling $514 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure concentrated in VA maintenance and equipment contracts.

By PSC, the company's work splits across Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (214 awards), Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (81 awards), in vitro diagnostic substances (20 awards), and maintenance/repair codes (39 combined awards). The company is the exclusive manufacturer and servicer of Artel MVS and related validation systems, giving it sole-source standing on FBI DNA lab maintenance and similar law enforcement forensic contracts.

Advanced Instruments LLC maintains two named subsidiaries: Nova Biomedical Corp (foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer) and Spiral Biotech Inc. Corporate structure information does not indicate ownership changes or parent-company relationships that would materially alter the vendor's federal footprint characterization.
