Digital Microscope Associate LLC

Digital Microscope Associate LLC, a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American–owned small business sole proprietorship based in Leonia, New Jersey, sells precision optical microscopy equipment and related laboratory instruments to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor operates under NAICS 339111 (Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing) and PSC codes aligned to optical instruments and laboratory equipment, competing across both set-aside (Total Small Business) and full-and-open vehicles without a permanent SBA 8(a) or HUBZone certification.

The vendor's portfolio centers on Keyence Digital Microscopes and accessory equipment—high-resolution imaging systems with magnification ranges up to 2500x, calibration modules, 3D measurement capability, and on-site installation and training. Recent representative work includes a $77,875 purchase order from the Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base (March 2026) for a Keyence VHX-X1 microscope with five-year warranty and four hours of on-site training, a $94,710.07 purchase order from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for preventive maintenance under a multi-year contract running through August 2029, and a $90,570 delivery order from the National Gallery of Art under GSA's Multiple Award Schedule for digital microscope delivery.

Customer concentration is moderate and dispersed. The top five funding entities account for 42% of awards by count, led by the FDA (5 awards, $247 thousand) and the Smithsonian Institution (3 awards, $204 thousand). By potential value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates (2 awards, $750 thousand combined potential value), reflecting the vendor's participation in the Multiple Award Schedule. The vendor also sits on the Scientific Equipment and Services vehicle, which carries 17 task orders worth $1 million combined potential value. Digital Microscope Associate LLC serves 21 distinct customer agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of the Army, and the Department of the Air Force.

Activity has been sparse and episodic—only one award in 2021, 2022, and 2023 respectively, two in 2024, and one recent award in 2026—with a combined portfolio of $3 million potential value and $2.2 million obligated dollars (74% of the combined ceiling). The vendor operates 100% as a prime and carries no subcontract footprint. All thirty-three awards in the source portfolio are prime awards with no sub-recipient or subcontractor relationships.

DMA, LLC sells Hirox Digital Microscopes with the following capabilities: 0x - 7000x magnification, system portability, inter changeable modular lenses, handheld applications, and is suitable for use in R&D, F/A, and QC.
