Arup Laboratories Inc.

Arup Laboratories Inc., doing business as Arup Laboratories, is a not-for-profit clinical and anatomic pathology reference laboratory that provides specialized diagnostic testing services to federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open procurements, with no subcontract activity. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and operating as a subsidiary of the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects, Arup competes exclusively in unrestricted federal contracting with no set-aside designations across a diversified customer base anchored by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Arup's capability portfolio centers on reference laboratory testing services spanning genetic testing, viral and bacterial cultures, antibody testing, clinical chemistry, microbiology analysis, and specialized diagnostic analyses. The vendor operates primarily under the GSA Federal Supply Schedule for Medical Laboratory Testing and Analysis Services (FSS-621-II), a multiple-award vehicle from which it delivers task orders to VA facilities nationwide. Representative work includes a $2.25 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (awarded May 2025, extending through May 2030) for reference laboratory testing at the VA North Texas Health Care System; a $2.9 million delivery order from CDC Pittsburgh under the Test Surge and Data Sharing IDIQ (awarded May 2026) for metagenomic next-generation sequencing services; and a $5.2 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (awarded April 2025) for reference laboratory testing services through March 2026.

Customer concentration is pronounced within the VA system. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 accounts for $361.7 million combined potential value across 37 awards (38% of total potential value), while VISN 12 holds $160.8 million across 18 awards. Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, VISN 20, and VISN 10 collectively represent approximately $267 million in combined potential value. The top five customer VISNs and the CDC represent 89% of Arup's total combined potential value of $957 million, reflecting a heavily concentration customer footprint. By award count, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 leads with 103 awards, though VISN 21's dollar concentration indicates substantially larger order values.

Arup holds positions on the GSA Medical Laboratory Testing and Analysis Services Federal Supply Schedule with 462 task orders valued at $721 million in combined potential value, the primary vehicle for its federal work. The vendor also sits on the $118 million Test Surge and Data Sharing multiple-award IDIQ with CDC Pittsburgh, from which three delivery orders have been issued since September 2024. Single-award BPAs with VISN 19 ($5.2 million ceiling), VISN 17 ($2.25 million ceiling), and VISN 12 ($587.5 thousand ceiling) represent narrower, dedicated relationships. The vendor received a federal grant from the Healthcare Systems Bureau (September 2023, ultimate completion September 2026) for an Advanced Practice Teaching Laboratory for Medical Laboratory Science construction and training project.

Activity has remained steady across recent years, with 19 awards in 2024 and 23 in 2025, though only 5 awards appear in the early 2026 snapshot. Thirteen awards carrying combined potential value of $11.1 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure across multiple VISNs. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $7.4 million across FY2023 and FY2024, with no reportable service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold in FY2022. The SCI data show zero FTE entries across all three fiscal years, reflecting the laboratory's structure as a specialized testing provider where FTE metrics do not align with the vendor's service-delivery model.

Arup operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor; across its recent 746-award portfolio, only three are subcontract awards (under KBR Wyle Services for the HHPC2 reference laboratory contract and under the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for Clinical Genome Resource grant work). The vendor builds its own delivery teams and does not rely on significant subcontractor engagement. Work is performed at Arup's primary facility in Emigration Canyon, Utah, and at multiple VA medical center locations including Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Saginaw, Battle Creek, San Francisco, Reno, and elsewhere across the VA's network. All awards are firm fixed price and carry no set-aside designations, positioning Arup as a competitive prime in full-and-open procurements serving the federal healthcare system.
