About Element Biosciences, Inc.
Element Biosciences, Inc., a San Diego-based manufacturer of next-generation DNA sequencing platforms, sells sequencing instruments and consumable kits to the federal government as a prime contractor, operating entirely under full-and-open and small business set-aside purchase orders. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that competes across both set-aside and non-set-aside procurement vehicles, with roughly equal volume in total small business set-asides and unrestricted purchases.
Element Biosciences' core capability centers on the AVITI System, a benchtop whole-genome short-read DNA sequencer with proprietary Avidity Sequencing technology, along with sequencing kits and consumables designed for high-throughput genomic and transcriptomic research. Representative work includes a $307,587 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in September 2025 for delivery of one complete AVITI sequencing system to the Veterinary Genetics Research unit in Kerrville, Texas, with a 12-month warranty, installation, training, and consumables; a $256,000 delivery in September 2025 of an AVITI System to College Station, Texas, which included a trade-in value exceeding forty thousand dollars against the customer's existing Illumina MiSeq; and a $215,790 purchase order from USDA ARS Pacific West Area in August 2024 for 120 AVITI 2x150 Sequencing Kit Cloudbreak FS High Output units delivered to Hilo, Hawaii, capable of delivering one billion reads per run with 300 gigabytes of output per run.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward USDA Agricultural Research Service, which accounts for seven of eleven awards and $1.8 million (72% of combined potential value). The top three funding agencies—USDA Plains Area (four awards, $995 thousand), USDA Pacific West Area (three awards, $787 thousand), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (three awards, $667 thousand)—represent 100% of the award portfolio. Both rankings align; USDA dominates both volume and dollars. Element Biosciences operates on no parent contract vehicles; all awards are discrete purchase orders and one definitive contract issued directly by funding agencies. The company maintains no subcontract relationships and operates exclusively as a prime contractor.
Activity has remained steady at two to three awards annually from 2022 through 2025, with one award in the current year (2026). Eleven awards carrying a combined potential value of $2.5 million have been obligated at 97% ($2.4 million), indicating full commitment of available contract value. One award, valued at $135,150, reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure in that window. The company's work footprint is concentrated in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) across ten of eleven awards, with procurement activity split between laboratory equipment and supplies (eight awards) and instrument maintenance and repair (three awards). All work is performed either at Element Biosciences' San Diego headquarters or at customer facility locations in Hawaii and Texas.
