Diversified Laboratory Repair Inc.

Diversified Laboratory Repair Inc., a Gaithersburg, Maryland-based small business, delivers preventive maintenance, emergency repair, calibration, and installation services for scientific and medical laboratory equipment to federal research institutions as a prime contractor on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The company is a subsidiary of Trane U.S. Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer and service provider.

Diversified Laboratory Repair's customer concentration is extreme and narrowly focused on the National Institutes of Health ecosystem. The top five funding agencies account for 41% of recent awards by count, but the dollar story diverges sharply: the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations anchors 59% of combined potential value with five awards ($10.1 million), driven by a single $10 million Blanket Purchase Agreement running through December 31, 2026. The Defense Health Agency ranks second at $8.3 million across 13 awards, and the Smithsonian Institution third at $1.6 million across 30 awards. Within NIH by institute count, the National Cancer Institute leads at 63 awards, followed by the Office of the Director at 43 and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at 38; the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases carries the highest NIH institute-level potential value at $1.3 million across 36 awards. Diversified's service portfolio centers on ultra-cold freezers, liquid nitrogen freezers, CO2 incubators, centrifuges, sterilizers, and related refrigeration equipment—standard biomedical research infrastructure at NIH institutes in the Maryland corridor (Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Baltimore, North Bethesda).

Diversified operates primarily from the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations' $10 million single-award BPA, which generates most task-order activity. A second legacy vehicle, Blanket Purchase Agreement HHSN263200800038B, carries 173 task orders worth $1.6 million in combined potential value. Individual task orders under these vehicles typically range from $4,290 to $24,880, with performance periods extending through mid-2026. Representative prime awards include a $4.55 million definitive contract with the Defense Health Agency for serum repository operations and maintenance at Silver Spring, Maryland (awarded September 2021, running through September 2026), a $720 thousand FDA total small business set-aside for preventive maintenance on eight Consolidated Sterilizers at the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (awarded March 2023), a $336 thousand Department of Health and Human Services contract for preventive maintenance and repair of sterilizers and autoclaves at Gaithersburg (awarded November 2023), a $302 thousand National Institute on Drug Abuse contract for freezer maintenance across three NINDS facilities (awarded September 2023), and a $265 thousand NIH Clinical Center contract for laboratory equipment preventive maintenance (awarded August 2023).

Activity has remained stable at 25–26 awards per year through 2024, declining to 16 awards in 2025 and 6 year-to-date in 2026, reflecting the current trajectory. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $5.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. Diversified operates almost entirely as a prime (532 of 533 awards, or 100%), with negligible subcontractor exposure; one named sub-award appears in the source under Golden Key Group LLC for LN2 and mechanical freezer probe installation at the NCI Frederick campus in September 2023. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures minimal federal services activity—$136 thousand in FY2024 invoicing across 0.3 FTEs—suggesting the vendor's federal footprint is dominated by goods and equipment repair task orders below or at the $150,000 SCI threshold. Across NAICS coding, Diversified concentrates in appliance repair and maintenance (257 awards), other electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance (99 awards), and commercial and industrial machinery repair (62 awards); PSC coding emphasizes instruments and laboratory equipment maintenance (208 awards) and medical, dental, and veterinary equipment maintenance (145 awards).

The vendor competes across both set-aside (total small business) and full-and-open postures; 12 awards in the source carry total small business designations, while the majority are non-set-aside. Diversified's parent relationship to Trane U.S. Inc. does not feature in the award descriptions; the vendor operates under its own identity in federal procurement with no visible teaming or subsidiary capability signals from the source.
