Elementar Americas, Inc.

Elementar Americas, Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit analytical instrumentation manufacturer based in Ronkonkoma, New York, supplies combustion-based elemental analyzers, isotope ratio mass spectrometers, and related laboratory equipment to federal research agencies as a prime contractor on equipment procurements and maintenance contracts. The vendor is a small business that competes across both set-aside (total small business) and full-and-open procurements, with no predominant set-aside posture—roughly 40% of recent awards carry small business set-aside designations, while the remainder compete without restriction.

Elementar's customer footprint is concentrated in civilian research agencies. The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development leads by award count (19 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value) and dollar value, followed by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service across multiple regional and functional units (50 awards combined, $1.3 million), the Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey (8 awards, $611 thousand), and the Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology (3 awards, $455 thousand). These five customer entities account for 41% of the vendor's combined potential value. Representative prime contracts include a $264.6 thousand firm-fixed-price delivery of a combustion elemental analyzer, stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer, autosampler, and software to USDA ARS in September 2023; a $230.7 thousand organic elemental analyzer (CHNSO) to NASA Kennedy Space Center in June 2022; a $150.1 thousand freeze dryer lyophilizer to the Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology in May 2023; and a $109.5 thousand isotope ratio mass spectrometer to the Smithsonian Institution in August 2024. Most work consists of equipment sales and maintenance-of-service contracts valued under $100 thousand, supporting soil analysis, nutrient dynamics, climate impact research, and environmental monitoring across federal laboratory networks.

The vendor sits on the Federal Supply Schedule GSA contract GS07F5851P, where 25 task orders generate $1.1 million in combined potential value, representing a primary vehicle for task-order placement. Elementar's NAICS concentration reflects its core business: 104 awards under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with secondary volume in merchant wholesale and equipment repair codes. Activity has declined year over year—ten awards in 2023, nine in 2024, and only two in 2025—with a recompete cliff of three awards ($547 thousand combined potential value) facing completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (181 of 182 awards); a single subcontract award from December 2025 under Signature Science LLC involved procurement of a Unicube CHNS analyzer and related services for bulk detection and simulant development laboratory work. Elementar's footprint reflects specialized, mission-critical instrumentation supply—equipment that supports foundational environmental and agricultural science research at scale across the federal civilian research infrastructure.

Supplier of Elemental Analzyers for the determinatin of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen and chloride in most materials, and Stable Isotope Mass Spectrometers for IRMS determinations.
