Andor Technology, Inc.

Andor Technology, Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit scientific instrumentation company headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts, supplies specialized imaging equipment, microscopy systems, and analysis software to federal research agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards). The vendor competes in full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside designation across its federal footprint.

Andor's federal capability portfolio centers on three product lines: confocal and spinning-disk microscopy systems (BC43 Benchtop Confocal, Dragonfly multi-modal imaging systems); scientific imaging cameras and spectrographic instruments (IXON EMCCD cameras, Newton CCD systems, Kymera imaging spectrographs, C-RED 2 infrared cameras); and Bitplane Imaris microscopy image-analysis software with associated maintenance, licensing, and support services. Representative prime awards include a $309,163 benchtop confocal microscopy system to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for neuronal signaling research (May 2024), a $245,934 Andor Imaris licenses and maintenance subscription to Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 running through September 2028 (September 2023), a $556,906 Dragonfly imaging system delivery to the Seattle VA Medical Center (June 2023), a $241,864 BC43 benchtop confocal microscope to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana (August 2023), and a $225,934 confocal microscope to the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (September 2023). Recent smaller orders include a $81,365 pair of back-illuminated CMOS cameras to the National Institute of Standards and Technology for absorption tomography research (September 2026) and a $48,201 C-RED 2 infrared camera to NASA's Shared Services Center for stellar occultation imaging (September 2026).

Customer concentration is diffuse across NIH institutes and defense and civilian research agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 34% of recent awards: the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (7 awards, $215 thousand combined potential value), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (6 awards, $435 thousand), the National Institute on Aging (6 awards, $131 thousand), the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (6 awards, $267 thousand), and the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (6 awards, $122 thousand). By dollar value, the top five customers account for 42% of combined potential value, with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 anchoring the largest single award ($581 thousand across 2 orders), followed by NINDS, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the Office of Naval Research. The vendor holds seats on three Indefinite Delivery Contracts but activity under those vehicles is minimal (one task order each).

Andor's federal award footprint reflects consistent growth from 2022 through 2024 (11, 22, and 26 awards respectively) with a contraction to 14 awards in 2025 and 11 in 2026 year-to-date. Twelve awards (combined potential value $679 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The vendor's primary NAICS footprint is Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (35 awards), with secondary concentration in Software Publishers (13 awards) and Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (12 awards). Subcontract presence is negligible: three sub-awards over the source period to the University of Hawaii (spectrographic instrument development, March 2024), BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. (camera provision for instrumentation range support, February 2024), and The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (CBRN science and technology support, February 2024).
