DNA Labs International Inc.

DNA Labs International Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business (WOSB) based in Deerfield Beach, Florida, provides forensic DNA analysis and expert witness services to federal law enforcement and prosecution agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) through purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements with no set-asides on most work. The company is a Subchapter S corporation structured as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business, registered to receive federal awards since January 2008.

DNA Labs International's federal footprint concentrates heavily on Department of Justice work. The top five customer agencies by combined potential value account for 99% of awards, anchored by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (9 awards, $8.2 million combined potential value) and the U.S. Attorney's Offices (127 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value). The ATF relationship drives the dollar concentration: DNA Labs holds a $7.46 million IDIQ blanket purchase agreement with ATF effective through September 29, 2027, designated as a total small business set-aside. The U.S. Attorney's Offices dominate the award count, issuing time-and-materials purchase orders ranging from $1,485 to $154,212 in individual contract values. Secondary customers include the Drug Enforcement Administration (7 awards, $62 thousand), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (2 awards, $36 thousand), and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (2 awards, $9 thousand).

Recent capability work centers on forensic DNA testing, biological fluid identification, DNA fingerprinting, and expert witness testimony. Representative contracts include the $7.46 million ATF DNA analysis services order (Exercise OY3, September 2022), a $154,212 U.S. Attorney's Offices expert witness services order (November 2024), a $36,070 Immigration and Customs Enforcement DNA analysis purchase order for Homeland Security Investigations criminal investigations (September 2025), and a $23,060 U.S. Attorney's Offices expert witness services order (October 2025). The company also employs advanced analytical techniques including M-Vac sampling and STRmix software analysis, documented to support expedited 48-hour turnaround on time-sensitive cases.

Activity has remained relatively consistent year over year, with 15 awards in 2022 rising to 27 in 2025, then declining to 10 awards through mid-2026. A substantial recompete exposure sits in the next twenty-four months: 24 awards (combined potential value $8.2 million) carry ultimate completion dates within that window, representing primarily U.S. Attorney's Offices purchase orders and the ATF BPA renewal risk. The ATF BPA expires January 5, 2027. The vendor holds two named parent vehicles: the $7.46 million ATF DNA analysis services BPA (15A00019AAQA00347, 3 task orders, $447 thousand combined potential value) and the $200,000 ATF DNA collection and analysis services BPA established January 6, 2022 (15A00022AAQA00034, 2 task orders, $37 thousand combined potential value).

DNA Labs International participates in federal grant-funded sexual assault kit backlog initiatives as a sub-recipient. The company has received a May 2025 sub-award from the Executive Office of Virginia supporting specialized forensic methodologies including forensic genealogy, M-Vac collection, and STRmix analysis for cold case sexual assaults and sexually motivated homicides; that sub-award sits under an existing DNA Labs International contract with Virginia and represents the vendor's only identified grant sub-award in the source data. The award classification spans 115 awards under NAICS 541900 (All Other Legal Services), 26 under NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), and six under NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting the broad forensic-services scope. Primary PSC coding is Support–Professional (Expert Witness) for 126 awards, Reference Laboratory Testing for 11 awards, and R&D–Defense Other services for 5 awards.
