Avidity Science, LLC

Avidity Science, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Waterford, Wisconsin, manufactures and services specialized equipment for animal research facilities across federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside posture. The vendor's federal footprint spans 499 awards over the past several years with combined potential value of $17.8 million, anchored in equipment supply (NAICS 311 and 311-adjacent manufacturing), maintenance services, and field support for proprietary Avidity-branded water treatment, environmental monitoring, and automated animal watering systems deployed across civilian and defense research institutions.

Avidity Science's customer concentration spans research and medical agencies rather than a single dominant customer. The Department of the Army Medical Command leads by volume (44 awards, $2.6 million combined potential value), followed closely by the Food and Drug Administration (33 awards, $2.6 million) and the National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (13 awards, $1.1 million); the two rankings align on the Army Medical Command and FDA dominance. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, appearing across multiple VISNs (service networks), represents a distributed customer base rather than a single contracting office, with VISN 22 carrying the largest single concentration ($890 thousand across seven awards) and VISN 12 placing 18 smaller awards totaling $581 thousand. The Defense Health Agency holds ten awards valued at $851 thousand. These five customer clusters account for 45% of combined potential value and 28% of award count, reflecting a fragmented procurement pattern typical of purchase-order-based equipment and maintenance supply to decentralized federal research facilities.

Avidity Science places task orders across multiple GSA Federal Supply Schedules rather than large government-wide IDVCs or agency-wide IDIQs. The top parent vehicles are the Multiple Award Schedule (6 task orders) and three GSA supply schedules: GS00F03418 (5 task orders), GS00F78123 (5 task orders), and GS00F2701A (2 task orders). An indefinite delivery contract V506P00454 carries three task orders valued at $47 thousand. The lack of large GWAC or IDIQ seats reflects the vendor's positioning in commoditized equipment and maintenance supply rather than large systems-integration or IT modernization services.

Representative recent work includes a $563,164 Defense Health Agency purchase order (June 2022) for maintenance support services of the Avidity Watchdog environmental monitoring system at JBSA Fort Sam Houston extending through June 2027; a $250,493 Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 22 definitive contract (September 2023) for watchdog service maintenance and research at Loma Linda, California running through August 2028; a $207,426 Food and Drug Administration purchase order (June 2023) for post-warranty preventive maintenance and repair of an Edstrom Watchdog V5 environmental monitoring system extending through August 2028; a $210,967 NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations purchase order (July 2023) for preventive maintenance of security and monitoring systems in Building 49 Central Animal Facility running through June 2026 with option years; and a $199,843 FDA purchase order (June 2024) for animal drinking valves. More recent awards include a $139,806 Defense Health Agency order (September 2025) for preventive maintenance and repair of automatic animal drinking water systems at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland through September 2028, and a $124,968 Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 22 purchase order (September 2024) for the Avidity Watchdog EX Environmental Monitoring System at the Greater Los Angeles VA Medical Center with one year of servicing.

Activity has declined modestly: 19 awards in 2022 declining to 6 in 2026 (year to date). Twenty awards totaling $2.2 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure for the vendor and corresponding recompete opportunity for competitors on maintenance and equipment refresh cycles across VA medical centers and federal research facilities.

Avidity Science holds three subsidiaries—Hydropac, LLC; C T Chemicals Inc.; and Lab Products, LLC—all manufacturers of goods positioned to consolidate or supply product lines within the parent's animal research equipment portfolio. The vendor functions as a equipment manufacturer and field-service provider rather than as a systems integrator or solution architect; nearly all work is proprietary-system maintenance, parts supply, or equipment installation tied to Avidity brand products or third-party brands (Edstrom, STERIS) the vendor maintains under service agreements. Subcontract activity is minimal (6 awards, 1% of total), with recent sub work routed through primes including Government Scientific Source Inc., Agilent Technologies Inc., and Weems Design Studio, Inc. on National Cancer Institute operational task orders for animal watering system installations and service agreements—indicating the vendor primarily competes as equipment supplier and maintenance contractor to research facilities rather than as a sub-tier service provider in larger IT or infrastructure programs.
