Elemental Scientific, Inc.

Elemental Scientific, Inc., doing business as Elemental Scientific Glassblowing LLC, manufactures analytical laboratory instruments, autosamplers, speciation systems, and consumables for federal scientific and environmental testing programs, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on direct purchase orders and small-business set-asides across 24 customer agencies. The company is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, with a self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business subsidiary (Elemental Scientific Glassblowing, LLC) and a 23-year federal contracting history anchored in laboratory equipment supply and maintenance services.

Elemental Scientific's customer base concentrates heavily in public health and environmental research. The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh dominates the portfolio with 25 awards worth $2.3 million in combined potential value, followed by CDC's Office of Acquisition Services (22 awards, $706 thousand), the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (8 awards, $179 thousand), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (7 awards, $171 thousand), and the Food and Drug Administration (5 awards, $184 thousand). These five customers account for 59% of recent awards and 77% of combined potential value. Representative work includes a $230 thousand sole-source prepFAST IC autosampler delivery to CDC Pittsburgh for arsenic speciation in 2023, a $95.1 thousand lab consumables and equipment purchase order from CDC Pittsburgh in 2024, a $49.9 thousand Thermo Fisher PrepFast 3 auto-dilution system for USGS's Radiogenic Isotope Laboratory in 2025, and a three-year $80.7 thousand preventative maintenance contract with NOAA for a PrepFAST IC Automated Speciation System at the National Seafood Inspection Laboratory awarded in December 2024.

The portfolio spans 113 total awards with $4.7 million in combined potential value and $4.1 million obligated (88% of ceiling). Activity has remained steady at two to six awards annually over the past five years, with only one award in 2026 and two in 2025. Only one award completes within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $81 thousand), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. Work categories concentrate in laboratory equipment and supplies procurement (85 awards under PSC code for Laboratory Equipment And Supplies) and analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (75 awards under the corresponding NAICS). Elemental Scientific operates entirely as a prime contractor; the vendor carries no subcontract portfolio. Sole-source procurements and small-business set-asides recur throughout the footprint, reflecting the vendor's product specialization and the proprietary or single-source nature of much analytical instrumentation and consumable supply work in federal research laboratories.
