About the company
Aquaneering LLC, a San Marcos, California-based minority-owned and Subcontinent Asian American-owned for-profit manufacturer, designs and sells specialized aquatic life support systems and replacement housing equipment to federal research agencies as a prime contractor on small, full-and-open purchase orders. The vendor competes without set-aside protection on most awards, though one recent replacement-housing delivery for the EPA was set aside as total small business. Aquaneering operates exclusively as a prime — no subcontract footprint appears in the source — and all five recent federal awards are purchase orders with ceiling values under $110 thousand.
Aquaneering's capability portfolio centers on turnkey aquatic research infrastructure: Xenopus (African-clawed frog) housing racks with integrated filtration, UV sterilization, chiller systems, and automated water exchange; zebrafish housing and replacement racks; fish storage tanks; and preventative maintenance service agreements for installed systems. Representative recent work includes a $107,960 sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) for preventative maintenance of aquatic life support systems across NICHD's zebrafish facility (awarded January 1, 2025, with three one-year option periods running through December 31, 2028); an $80,268 firm-fixed-price delivery from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences for a complete Xenopus housing system with installation at NIH's Research Triangle Park location in Durham, North Carolina (awarded September 28, 2026, completion September 27, 2027); a $71,908 total-small-business-set-aside EPA purchase order for zebrafish housing rack replacement (awarded November 6, 2024); and a $17,690 Fish Ready Water System delivery to the EPA Office of Research and Development (awarded January 10, 2025).
Aquaneering's customer base is concentrated at two NIH institutes and the EPA. NICHD and NIEHS together account for 60% of the five awards and $203 thousand of combined potential value, while the EPA Office of Research and Development places the remaining two orders ($90 thousand combined). Activity has remained sparse and episodic — two awards in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award ($80 thousand) completing inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. Combined potential value across the small portfolio totals $293 thousand, with $212 thousand obligated to date.
