About the company
Foundation Instruments Inc., a for-profit corporation based in Collierville, Tennessee, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, with no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint. The vendor holds nine SBIR awards across Phase I and Phase II grants, totaling $6.2 million in combined obligation across the past decade, competing in full-and-open SBIR solicitations rather than set-aside contract vehicles.
Foundation Instruments' capability portfolio centers on analytical instrumentation and machine learning-driven detection platforms for drinking water quality monitoring, targeted at rural water utilities and municipal treatment operators. The vendor's SBIR work progresses through sequential phase development, with Phase II awards advancing toward market-ready products. Recent Phase II work includes a $600,000 Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant (CFDA 10.212) awarded September 1, 2026, running through August 31, 2028, to develop and validate a next-generation water quality analyzer platform capable of monitoring primary disinfectants and inorganic contaminants using machine learning-driven detection models and prototype validation. Parallel Phase I work, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, focuses on a haloacetic-acid meter (HAA-meter) for affordable, onsite monitoring of drinking water plants with automated chromatographic interpretation. A second Phase I project, also from the Department of Agriculture, develops a lead-rapid-response analyzer (Lead-RR) for field-deployed detection and quantification of lead in drinking water, with completion targeted for October 31, 2026. A third Phase I award, from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, addresses development of a low-cost 3D-printed colorimeter for detection of manganese, iron, and free available chlorine in rural water systems.
Customer concentration is split across the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (4 awards) and the Department of Health and Human Services National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (3 awards), with National Science Foundation contributing 2 awards. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete timing. All work is performed in Collierville, Tennessee, with no sub-award footprint.
