Germfree Laboratories, LLC

Germfree Laboratories, LLC (doing business as Germfree) manufactures and sells specialized laboratory and cleanroom equipment—biosafety cabinets, laminar flow workstations, mobile pharmacy and BSL-2/BSL-3 laboratory trailers, isolators, HEPA and carbon filters, and related containment systems—to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders and delivery orders, with 99% of its recent award footprint as prime work and no set-aside participation characteristic.

A for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Ormond Beach, Florida, Germfree operates across manufacturing (NAICS 336500 class in Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and wholesaling and rental services (Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing). The vendor's top primary service contract classification runs under PSC Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (139 awards) and Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (70 awards), with secondary PSC activity in Hospital Furniture and Equipment and Lease or Rental of Medical Equipment. Recent work spans 350 total awards with a combined potential value of $56.8 million (77% obligated across $43.5 million), reaching back to 1981 and showing activity decline over the past five years: 12 awards in 2022 declining to 2 awards in 2026 year-to-date.

Customer concentration sits with the Department of Veterans Affairs, which anchors the top dollar rankings. The top five customers by potential value account for 62% of combined potential value: Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 leads with 20 awards valued at $10.3 million, followed by VISN 22 with 10 awards at $8.4 million; GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $7.8 million); Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical (81 awards, $5.8 million); and VISN 8 (15 awards, $2.7 million). Award-count and dollar rankings diverge: DLA Troop Support Medical dominates volume (81 awards representing 45% of the top five by count) but carries a lower per-award value than VISN facilities. The vendor has worked with 57 distinct customer agencies across VA medical centers, DoD, the Department of Agriculture, NASA, the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Secret Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and federal prison medical facilities.

Germfree holds positions on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (85 task orders, $6.3 million potential value) and Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0230U (26 task orders, $720 thousand potential value), plus two Indefinite Delivery Contracts under DLA (SPM2DH11D8211 with 26 task orders at $154 thousand, and SPM2DH11D8210 with 16 task orders at $170 thousand). Representative prime work includes a $1.43 million purchase order from VA VISN 22 (March 2026) for a COVID mobile trailer; a $992,238 purchase order from USDA Pacific West Area (September 2025) for a standalone containerized BSL-2 laboratory deployed to Hawaii; a $725,000 sole-source purchase order from VA VISN 8 (December 2024) for pharmacy compounding trailer maintenance through 2027; a $443,176 purchase order from VA VISN 1 (June 2026) for a pharmacy compounding trailer; a $5.82 million definitive contract from VA VISN 22 (September 2022) for design, construction, and delivery of a COVID mobile laboratory trailer; and a $709,956 total small business set-aside from the U.S. Secret Service (September 2022) for quarterly preventative maintenance on 24 custom chemical fume hoods in Washington, D.C. Germfree also delivers component supplies (carbon filters, HEPA filters, biological safety cabinets, stands, and glove sleeves) through direct purchase orders with DLA Medical Supply Chain and to federal prison facilities.

Within the next twenty-four months, nine awards totaling $7 million reach ultimate completion date and face recompete. Germfree operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (99% of awards) with minimal subcontractor engagement; across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (a subset covering invoiced service work above $150,000), the vendor delivered roughly 12.4 FTEs in FY2023 ($1.3 million invoiced) with zero sub-hours share, indicating Germfree builds its own delivery teams rather than leveraging subs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI service contracts ranged from $57.66/hr at the 10th percentile to a median of $459.38/hr and $1,702.30/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting a mix of technician-level maintenance work and specialist engineering services. The vendor carries two named sub-awards to larger primes—a custom Class III Biosafety Cabinet delivery to an unnamed prime under an August 2024 award with estimated contract value notation, and a custom three-chamber stainless steel desiccator delivered to Johnson Space Center (JSA Engineering and Exploration Integration and Science Directorates) under an August 2025 award—indicating minimal subcontractor positioning relative to the prime footprint.
