C E Elantech Inc.

C E Elantech Inc., a woman-owned small business subchapter S corporation headquartered in Lakewood, New Jersey, supplies advanced analytical laboratory instruments—principally elemental analyzers, soil analyzers, and combustion analyzers—to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. The vendor operates entirely through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with 90 task orders generating $2.3 million in combined potential value, and holds a current Federal Supply Schedule contract (awarded March 24, 2025, ceiling $2.785 million, through March 23, 2030) covering analytical instruments and equipment service agreements across 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and US territories.

Customer concentration runs heavy toward USDA. The top five customer entities account for 48% of recent awards by count, dominated by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery (28 awards, $558 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development (25 awards, $144 thousand), and three regional USDA ARS sub-offices combining for significant additional volume. By potential value, however, GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the footprint with two awards totaling $5.5 million—the March 2025 Federal Supply Schedule contract itself plus one delivery order—which accounts for 77% of combined potential value across all 182 awards when the top five customers are grouped. USDA and Interior follow, with interior agencies like the EPA, USGS, and FDA constituting recurring but lower-value secondary customers.

The vendor's concrete capability work centers on supply and repair of elemental-analysis instruments manufactured principally by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Representative awards include a $64.2 million delivery order from the FDA (awarded June 2022, ultimate completion September 2026) for a FlashSmart CHNS-O elemental analyzer under the MAS; a $69 thousand July 2026 total-small-business set-aside delivery order from USDA Midwest Area for a soil/plant carbon and nitrogen analyzer; a $56.2 thousand September 2025 order from USDA ARS for an elemental analyzer (Urbana GCPRU); and a $12.9 thousand August 2025 purchase order from USDA ARS for onsite repair and furnace replacement of a Thermo Fisher Scientific EA 1112 Flash Analyzer. NAICS concentration reflects this: 156 of 182 awards (86%) fall under Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with PSC concentration split between Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (84 awards) and Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment–Instruments and Laboratory Equipment (56 awards).

Activity has been modest and episodic in recent years—six awards in 2022, three each in 2023 and 2024, four in 2025, and two in the first eight months of 2026. The combined potential value across all 182 awards is $8.8 million, with $4.1 million obligated (47% of potential). Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $74 thousand in potential value, indicating minimal recompete pressure in that window. C E Elantech operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract activity in the source data. The vendor has held a SAM.gov registration since 2003 and operates with no set-aside designation on most orders, though it qualifies for and has received total-small-business designations on select USDA and Interior work.

CE Elantech is the US distributor for Thermo Fisher Scientific Corporation (formerly Fisons/Carlo Erba) combustion elemental analyzers.
