About the company
Covaris, LLC Covaris LLC Division, a subsidiary of PerkinElmer U.S. LLC, manufactures focused-ultrasonicator instruments and sample-preparation consumables for genomic research as a prime contractor to federal agencies, operating almost exclusively in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations. The Woburn, Massachusetts-based manufacturer competes predominantly on commercial-item purchase orders across the $8,000 to $250,000 range, with a material footprint (99% of awards) as a direct supplier rather than subcontractor.
The company's federal customer base concentrates heavily within the Department of Health and Human Services research and public-health ecosystem. The top five customers account for 47% of recent awards by count and 40% of combined potential value. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh leads by potential value at $953 thousand across 31 awards, followed by the Food and Drug Administration at $781 thousand across 20 awards and the Office of Acquisition Services at $728 thousand across 17 awards. Within the NIH institute structure, the National Cancer Institute (36 awards, $629 thousand), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (25 awards, $715 thousand), and the National Human Genome Research Institute (25 awards, $389 thousand) anchor the research-lab procurement stream. The portfolio spans 49 distinct federal customer agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, though HHS accounts for the vast majority of award volume.
Covaris's federal business model rests on two concrete revenue streams: focused-ultrasonicator instruments (R230, ML230, LE220 series, M220, E220 models) valued at $25,000 to $226,000 per unit, and consumables and maintenance services. Representative prime work includes a $226,657 LE220-PLUS focused-ultrasonicator for USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (Total Small Business set-aside, completed June 2024); a $125,580 R230 focused-ultrasonicator sole-source award from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (completed May 2024); a $112,351 R230 focused-ultrasonicator with accessories to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (completed November 2022); and recurring one-year service and maintenance plans for existing instruments, typically $8,000 to $21,200 per contract, across CDC Pittsburgh, NIH institutes, and Defense Health Agency. The company also supplies AFA-tube consumables and related lab supplies in lower-dollar orders. Category coding reflects analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (107 awards), electronic equipment component manufacturing (79 awards), and equipment repair and maintenance (75 awards), with laboratory equipment and supplies the dominant PSC category (171 awards).
Activity volume has declined in recent years — twelve awards in 2022 declining to two in 2026 year-to-date — with only four awards (combined potential value $95 thousand) facing completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore presenting minimal recompete exposure. Covaris maintains a seat on the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule under which two task orders have been placed. The company subcontracts minimally (1% of awards); recent sub work includes the provision of AFA-tube consumables to Gap Solutions, Inc. on a National Institute of Child Health and Human Development whole-genome sequencing project (December 2025) and vaccine adjuvant discovery sample preparation tools to the University of California, San Diego (December 2024). As a PerkinElmer subsidiary, Covaris operates as a specialized product line within a broader life-sciences instrument portfolio rather than an independent contractor; the corporate structure surfaces the parent company's capacity for integration and financing but does not materially alter Covaris's federal posture as a direct OEM supplier to research agencies.
