Echomri, LLC

Echomri, LLC, a Houston-based for-profit limited liability company, manufactures and sells nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) body composition analyzers to federal research agencies as a prime contractor operating exclusively outside set-aside categories. The vendor specializes in non-invasive whole-body composition measurement equipment for live animals and humans, engineered to measure fat mass, lean mass, water content, and bone mineral content in research settings without requiring anesthesia.

Echomri operates exclusively in the prime contractor role (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; all recent awards are firm-fixed-price purchase orders for equipment delivery and associated training and support. The company is registered as a small business with SAM.gov since March 2012 and has competed under a Total Small Business set-aside on at least one award (a $113.5 thousand ECHOMRI-700 purchase order from an unnamed Southeast Area civilian agency in September 2022), though the majority of awards carry no set-aside designation.

Echomri's customer base concentrates across the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Agriculture. The top five funding customer organizations account for 53% of recent awards and 60% of combined potential value, split between VA Veterans Integrated Service Network subcomponents (VISN 4, 19, 15, and 23 collectively accounting for $625 thousand across five awards) and USDA Agricultural Research Service Plains Area ($230 thousand across two awards). The National Institutes of Health, the National Institute on Aging, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development round out the active customer set. Recent representative awards include a $142 thousand USDA Agricultural Research Service purchase order for an EchoMRI-700 analyzer delivered to the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center (April 2026), a $101 thousand National Institute of Child Health and Human Development purchase order for an ECHOMRI-A100 analyzer for small-animal research (June 2026), a $123.5 thousand EPA Office of Research and Development purchase order for an EchoMRI-1100 analyzer (November 2022), and a $117 thousand Department of Veterans Affairs purchase order for an ECHOMRI-700 analyzer (September 2022).

Echomri's award volume has been episodic rather than sustained. The vendor received one award in 2019, one in 2020, four in 2022, one in 2024, and two in 2026, with a combined potential value of $1.7 million across nineteen total awards spanning fourteen distinct federal agencies. Only one award ($101 thousand) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Echomri's footprint is classified almost entirely under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 6850 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies), reflecting its singular focus on scientific measurement hardware for federal research laboratories.
