About the company
District Of Columbia Department Of Forensic Sciences, a U.S. state government entity headquartered in Washington, D.C., operates as a federal grant recipient and federal contract prime, providing forensic biology DNA testing, forensic chemistry analysis, and biosurveillance laboratory technical and management support to the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The entity does not hold SBA set-aside certifications and competes in full-and-open procurements.
The Department of Forensic Sciences is a cabinet-level District of Columbia agency responsible for the Forensic Science Laboratory, Crime Scene Sciences, and Public Health Laboratory Services. Its federal work splits between forensic backlog reduction and capacity-building grants from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and contracted technical support for the BioWatch biosurveillance program operated by DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD). Recent grant work includes two Capacity Enhancement Program for Backlog Reduction (CEBR) awards from BJA, one running through September 2026 to fund seven full-time forensic science positions and reduce DNA testing backlog through in-house capacity expansion and outsourcing of approximately 40 to 285 cases to accredited vendor laboratories. On the contract side, FEMA and DHS CWMD have issued five annual purchase orders for $100,000 each (one awarded September 2026 with ultimate completion September 2027) to support BioWatch laboratory operations and technical management at Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, D.C.
Customer concentration is split between two agencies. The Department of Homeland Security Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction accounts for nine awards worth $506 thousand in combined potential value, all for BioWatch laboratory support. The Bureau of Justice Assistance accounts for nine awards (no potential value listed in the source, reflecting the nature of formula grants), all for DNA backlog reduction. Three additional awards from the National Institute of Justice and one award from FEMA complete the customer portfolio. Activity has remained flat at one to two awards per year over the past five years; one award (the current FEMA purchase order) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces potential recompete. The Department of Forensic Sciences performs nearly all work as a prime recipient or contractor (96% of awards); a single sub-grant under the DC Office of Victim Services involved outsourced seized-evidence testing by NMS, an accredited vendor laboratory, under FY23 Coverdell Grant funding.
