Allentown, LLC

Allentown, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of laboratory animal research caging systems based in Allentown, New Jersey, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) on full-and-open federal procurements, competing without SBA set-aside designations across 113 awards to 34 distinct federal agencies since 2019.

Allentown manufactures and delivers specialized vivarium infrastructure: individually ventilated cage (IVC) racks, high-density ventilated racks, animal transfer stations, biosafety cabinets, bedding dispensers, cage washers, and replacement components (cage lids, water bottles, hose assemblies, stainless steel pans) for rodent, primate, and other species research programs. Representative contracts illustrate the portfolio: a $5.565 million National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases purchase order (September 2024) for high-density ventilated racks and individually ventilated cages with exhaust blowers, hose assemblies, and installation; a $1.161 million National Institute on Drug Abuse definitive contract (September 2022) for 93 marmoset caging racks and stainless-steel pans to support primate breeding programs; a $594,791 Department of Veterans Affairs purchase order (September 2024) for a ventilated cage rack system to the Columbia VA Health Care System; and a $420,421 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute purchase order (September 2023) for an individually ventilated cage system. The vendor also holds a $1.5 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (September 2024 through September 2029) for IVC racks and air handling equipment supporting primate research and breeding, with at least one task order issued to date ($207,554, September 2024 through March 2025).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the National Institutes of Health. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 73% of the combined potential value across all awards, led by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (21 awards, $10.8 million combined potential value), followed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (7 awards, $4.1 million), the Food and Drug Administration (6 awards, $2.4 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (5 awards, $1.2 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (8 awards, $967 thousand). By award count, the top five represent 46% of all awards. Across the portfolio, the Department of Health and Human Services and its components (NIH, FDA, CDC) dominate both volume and dollar share, while the Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for multiple smaller orders through individual VISN networks across the VA health system.

Awards per year grew from 4 in 2022 to 27 in 2023, contracted to 18 in 2024, dropped to 6 in 2025, and rebounded to 13 in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 15 awards with combined potential value of $7.5 million reach ultimate completion dates, representing material recompete opportunity. Combined potential value across all 113 awards stands at $26.4 million, with $20.8 million obligated (79% of potential value). The vendor's NAICS profile reflects its core manufacturing focus: 74 awards under "All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing" (primary classification for custom metal vivarium components), 15 under "Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing," and smaller shares under general-purpose machinery and wire product categories. The PSC (Product Service Code) distribution mirrors the goods-based model — 89 awards under "Laboratory Equipment And Supplies" and 12 under "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies."

Allentown operates as a prime contractor on virtually all awards; SCI (Service Contract Inventory) coverage is minimal, capturing only 1 subcontractor record in FY2022 (0.4 FTEs), confirming that the vendor's federal footprint is goods delivery and equipment manufacturing rather than labor-intensive services. The vendor does not hold a position on government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs) or other multi-agency IDVs; its parent-vehicle activity is dominated by the single-award NIDA indefinite delivery contract. All federal work is on a full-and-open, unrestricted competitive basis — no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other set-aside designations appear in the award history.
