About the company
Criterion Laboratories Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, delivers water testing, environmental assessment, and laboratory analysis services to the federal government as a prime contractor. The vendor operates entirely on prime awards (100% of recent activity) and competes predominantly full-and-open; recent work carries mixed set-aside posture — some awards designated Total Small Business, others full-and-open — indicating flexibility across both set-aside and unrestricted procurements.
Criterion's capability footprint centers on drinking water quality assessment, Legionella detection and testing, laboratory reagent water analysis, environmental surveying, and asbestos and lead assessments supporting federal health, safety, and environmental compliance missions. Representative prime work includes a $927,240 single-award indefinite delivery contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (awarded January 2025, running through January 2030) for comprehensive water treatment and analysis at VA medical facilities — encompassing quarterly Legionella testing of 150 samples, quarterly dental water testing, biweekly critical water testing, and monthly endotoxin testing under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $705,186 firm fixed-price purchase order with the Defense Health Agency (awarded July 2022, completion September 2027) for laboratory reagent water testing and purification support at the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System in Dover, Delaware; and an $88,805 delivery order with VISN 4 (awarded December 2021, completion December 2026) for baseline asbestos survey and facility-wide asbestos management planning at a Philadelphia VA facility.
Customer concentration is acute and singular. VISN 4 alone accounts for 36 awards and $3.7 million in combined potential value, representing approximately 47% of the vendor's total $10.8 million recent award footprint. The top five customer agencies (by potential value) cover 88% of combined dollars, with the General Services Administration contributing $1.9 million through its Multiple Award Schedule, the Defense Health Agency $1.7 million, VISN 19 $1.3 million, and the Army Medical Command $862 thousand. The vendor serves 16 distinct agencies across the department of Veterans Affairs health networks, but VISN 4 dominates both award count and dollar magnitude, creating significant customer concentration risk.
Criterion places work under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (42 task orders, $4 million combined potential value) and the Professional Services Schedule (14 task orders, $271 thousand), along with two task orders under a VA indefinite delivery vehicle and one task order under a Department of Health and Human Services blanket purchase agreement. Primary NAICS concentration is Testing Laboratories and Services (63 awards), with smaller portfolios in Environmental Consulting Services (8 awards), Building Inspection Services (2 awards), and Remediation Services (2 awards).
Activity has declined from a 2006 entry point through the source window — four awards in 2021, dropping to two in 2022, recovering to two in 2024 and four in 2025, with two awards in 2026. Three awards (combined potential value $799 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity for competitors. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $5.4 million, or 50% of combined potential value, reflecting a mature, stable contract portfolio with mixed funding drawdown rates. The vendor operates with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
