Bioanalytical Instruments Inc.

Bioanalytical Instruments Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, supplies laboratory equipment, specialized diagnostic instruments, and preventative maintenance services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor operating full-and-open and under small business set-asides.

The company operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (98 awards, 100% of footprint) with no subcontract activity. Bioanalytical Instruments has held a GSA Federal Supply Schedule (Multiple Award Schedule) position since March 31, 2026, with a $475 thousand ceiling through March 30, 2031, positioning it to accept task orders from any federal agency without new competition. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open; only 2 of 98 awards carry set-aside designations (Total Small Business), suggesting that minority and small-business status does not anchor procurement strategy but rather qualifies the vendor for specific opportunities.

Customer concentration is acute and stable. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh accounts for 56 awards and $2.3 million in combined potential value — 57% of all awards and 49% of total dollars. The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services is the second customer at 11 awards and $971 thousand, anchored by a three-year $213.8 thousand definitive contract for preventative maintenance of laboratory equipment in the Dominican Republic through December 12, 2026. The Food and Drug Administration (7 awards, $324 thousand), Customs and Border Protection (4 awards, $263 thousand), and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (1 award, $475 thousand) round out the top five. The top five customers account for 91% of awards and 93% of combined potential value.

Bioanalytical Instruments delivers concrete laboratory capabilities: equipment procurement (QuantStudio 5 real-time PCR systems, ion chromatography systems, FTIR spectrometers, Kingfisher extraction systems, centrifuges, biological safety cabinets, freezers, and reagents) and preventative maintenance and calibration services for those instruments. Representative prime work includes a $213.8 thousand definitive contract from USDA Veterinary Services for three-year preventative maintenance on laboratory equipment in the Dominican Republic (awarded December 13, 2023, extending through December 12, 2026); a $151.8 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from DHS Customs and Border Protection for an FTIR spectrometer with ATR accessory (May 24, 2024); a $149.6 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from FDA for an ion chromatography system (July 28, 2023); and a $136.6 thousand CDC Pittsburgh purchase order for a QuantStudio 5 DX real-time PCR system (September 10, 2024). Recent work also includes a $96 thousand USDA APHIS purchase order for one-year preventative maintenance services at the LAVECEN laboratory in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, including two scheduled maintenance visits annually and 48-hour emergency response (awarded July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027).

Activity has declined from a ten-award peak in 2022. The vendor recorded 10 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 9 in 2024, and only 3 in 2025 and 3 in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff is modest: 3 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $426 thousand. The vendor's award portfolio spans purchase orders and one definitive contract, with no participation in government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles other than the GSA MAS. Place of performance concentrates in San Juan, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, with secondary performance locations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (for CDC work). The vendor's NAICS profile clusters around equipment supply and maintenance: Other Professional Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (31 awards), Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (16 awards), and Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (15 awards) dominate, with PSC concentration in Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (49 awards) and maintenance/repair of laboratory equipment (15 awards).
