Emsl Analytical Inc.

Emsl Analytical Inc., doing business as La Testing, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Cinnaminson, New Jersey that provides environmental testing and analytical laboratory services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) and occasional subcontractor, competing exclusively under full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations. The company operates 20+ performance locations across the CONUS, with primary facilities in Cinnaminson and Riverton, New Jersey and Charleston, South Carolina, and has held federal contracts continuously since at least 1989.

La Testing's service portfolio centers on accredited laboratory analysis spanning asbestos testing, lead detection, Legionella water testing, volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis, microbiological identification, pesticide residue analysis, and industrial hygiene sampling. The company performs air and surface sample collection, water quality assessment, and bulk material analysis for hazardous contaminants. Representative recent prime work includes a $294,199 three-year glove-fingertip testing delivery order with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (awarded April 2024, completion March 2027); a $238,428 viable environmental sample testing contract with VISN 23 at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center (September 2021 award, completion August 2026); a $142,602 Safety and Occupational Health sampling-media and laboratory-analysis purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency (September 2024 award, completion September 2027); and a $99,999 environmental sampling services purchase order with VISN 2 (March 2026 award, completion April 2026). The vendor also holds a $40,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Federal Aviation Administration for on-call industrial hygiene laboratory services at the FAA's William J. Hughes Technical Center, running through August 31, 2029.

La Testing's customer concentration reflects heavy reliance on the Veterans Health Administration. The top five funding entities account for 55% of combined potential value, led by Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (13 awards, $2.8 million), VISN 23 (9 awards, $396 thousand), and VISN 7 (3 awards, $356 thousand). The Department of the Navy ranks first by award count (23 awards) but lower by dollars, signaling multiple small task orders. The Department of Veterans Affairs overall dominates the portfolio; the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration and Department of the Army round out the top-five customer set. Fifty-three distinct federal agencies have placed at least one award, indicating broad market penetration despite concentrated revenue.

The vendor holds task orders under multiple agency-level Indefinite Delivery Contracts, most heavily the Navy's N6871101A3127 vehicle (22 task orders), followed by the General Services Administration's 36C24518D0017 (6 task orders, $504 thousand), VA24513D0014 (5 task orders, $524 thousand), and several smaller VA and DoD-managed IDICs. Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 541712 (Testing Laboratories and Services, 129 awards) with secondary activity in Environmental Consulting Services (11 awards) and Medical Laboratories (11 awards). Primary PSC codes are Environmental Systems Protection—Toxic and Hazardous Substance Analysis (69 awards), Reference Laboratory Testing (43 awards), and Support—Professional Industrial Hygienics (43 awards).

Activity has remained flat at 6–10 awards per year over the past five years, with only one award (the March 2026 VISN 2 contract) visible in 2026 to date. Six awards totaling $766 thousand potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. In its limited subcontractor role, La Testing has subcontracted to Battelle Memorial Institute on National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences toxicology-evaluation work (October 2025 and June 2025 sub-awards for tremolite analysis and electronic data transfer), to HDR Aptim on Des Orange Valley regional site remediation (May 2024), to Aecom-Baker Navfac Atlantic on Portsmouth Naval Shipyard asbestos testing (March 2024), to Leidos on Alabama Army Ammunition Plant environmental restoration (February 2024), and to Tetra Tech and Weston Solutions on Superfund technical assessment and remediation activities. The subcontract footprint is small relative to prime work and concentrated on environmental remediation and industrial hygiene analysis supporting Army, Navy, and EPA cleanup programs. La Testing received at least one federal grant sub-award in April 2025 for lead dust wipe-sample laboratory analysis under an unnamed grant vehicle.
