Ansi National Accreditation Board LLC

Ansi National Accreditation Board LLC, doing business as Ascld/Lab, operates as a non-profit limited liability company providing ISO/IEC conformity assessment and laboratory accreditation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 170 awards spanning forensic, environmental, and scientific testing domains. The organization competes exclusively in full-and-open federal procurement, with no set-aside designations across its portfolio.

Ascld/Lab's core capability is third-party laboratory accreditation and certification under international standards, particularly ISO/IEC 17025 (testing and calibration laboratory competence), ISO/IEC 17020 (inspection body requirements), and ISO/IEC 17011 (accreditation body requirements). Scope includes on-site assessments, document reviews, surveillance audits, technical assistance, and accreditation maintenance across four-year accreditation cycles. Representative prime work includes a $293 thousand four-year definitive contract awarded by an unspecified Civilian Headquarters Division (January 2026) for laboratory accreditation audit and assessment; a $309 thousand definitive contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (September 2025) for national laboratory accreditation services supporting CBP's Laboratory and Scientific Services Directorate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; a $261 thousand definitive contract with Department of Defense Headquarters Division (February 2025) for ANAB accreditation for the Office of Test and Development in Huntsville, Alabama; and a $339 thousand four-year purchase order from CBP (September 2021) for system-wide, single-certificate laboratory accreditation. Ascld/Lab also holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (ceiling $24.6 thousand, awarded September 2021, extending through August 2025) for national forensic laboratory international accreditation services, under which the IRS has issued multiple call orders.

Customer concentration sits across law enforcement and defense agencies. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 31% of awards: the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division leads with 15 awards ($1.9 million combined potential value), followed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (11 awards, $1.8 million), the Internal Revenue Service (10 awards, $143 thousand), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (8 awards, $766 thousand), and the Food and Drug Administration (8 awards, $262 thousand). The same top customers anchor 51% of combined potential value, with the FBI, DEA, and ATF dominating the dollars. Beyond these core customers, Ascld/Lab serves 49 distinct federal agencies including the Defense Health Agency, Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Command, U.S. Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement, and Department of Commerce Maritime Administration.

Recent activity shows relative flatness year over year, with 14 awards in 2022 and 2023, 12 in 2024, and 11 in 2025; one award appears in the 2026 data. Thirteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.4 million, representing recompete exposure. Ascld/Lab holds no vehicle positions beyond the IRS BPA noted above; the top parent vehicles listed in the portfolio (including indefinite delivery contracts with Army commands) carry minimal volume and value.

Ascld/Lab also acts as a cooperative-agreement recipient under the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, conducting annual peer reviews of the National Organic Program's accreditation procedures and providing technical assistance on ISO/IEC 17011:2017 compliance and accreditation policy development. Three cooperative agreements are on record (July 2022 through June 2025, with no subawardees identified). The vendor maintains operational headquarters at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 1100A, Washington, DC 20036, and has been registered in SAM.gov since 2008. Work is performed across multiple operational locations including Quantico, Virginia; San Diego, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Ashland, Oregon; and subordinate assessment sites at customer federal laboratories nationwide and internationally.
