Coy Laboratory Products Inc.

Coy Laboratory Products Inc., a small-business manufacturer of controlled-atmosphere laboratory equipment headquartered in Grass Lake, Michigan, sells anaerobic chambers, glove boxes, hypoxic systems, and respirometry units to federal agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and unrestricted full-and-open competition. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and has held 166 prime purchase orders across 50 distinct customer agencies over the past three decades, with all work executed under its own prime awards (zero subcontractor footprint).

Coy's customer base is dispersed across civilian research and development organizations rather than concentrated in any single agency. The top five customers by award count and potential value cover just 27–32% of recent activity: the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration leads by dollar value with 11 awards totaling $376 thousand, followed by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (13 awards, $229 thousand), the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (7 awards, $173 thousand), the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development (7 awards, $148 thousand), and the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research (5 awards, $108 thousand). This wide customer spread reflects Coy's positioning as a specialized equipment supplier to federal laboratories across agriculture, biomedical research, environmental science, and defense-affiliated research facilities.

The company's work consists entirely of purchase orders for specific laboratory apparatus. Representative awards include a $63.2 thousand FDA purchase order (Mar 9, 2023) for a hypoxic system with anaerobic functionality; a $54.7 thousand USDA Agricultural Research Service order (Aug 26, 2024) for an anaerobic and microaerophilic chamber system to cultivate bacteria; a $54.7 thousand USDA order (Mar 6, 2024) for a vinyl anaerobic chamber system with installation and training; a $48.2 thousand Air Force Materiel Command order (May 6, 2024) for one vinyl anaerobic chamber and ancillary items; a $25.3 thousand National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration order (Jun 6, 2024) for a respirometry unit supporting ocean-acidification research; and a $24.9 thousand National Heart Lung and Blood Institute order (Aug 22, 2025) for an anaerobic chamber to preserve patient-derived tissues infected with mycobacteria. Awards are classified primarily under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with the remaining portfolio split among merchant wholesaling and miscellaneous manufacturing. Purchase-order activity has declined: two awards in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 year-to-date.

Combined potential value across all 166 awards stands at $3.2 million, with $2.8 million obligated (86% execution rate). Only one award carries a completion date inside the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure of $63 thousand. Coy operates on a single blanket purchase agreement (BPA 220020103) with one recorded task order, suggesting limited parent-vehicle infrastructure and a predominantly transactional purchase-order posture with federal labs.
