About Gerstel Inc.

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Gerstel Inc., a Maryland-based subsidiary of German parent Gerstel GMBH & CO. KG, supplies analytical instrumentation and laboratory equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of awards) on a full-and-open basis. The company is foreign-owned and competes predominantly in open competition rather than under SBA set-asides, though it holds Total Small Business designations on roughly 22% of its recent purchase orders.

Gerstel Inc. delivers gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) systems, thermal desorption units, autosamplers, multipurpose samplers, and related sample preparation equipment, along with preventative maintenance and repair services. Recent representative prime awards include a $217.6 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the USDA Agricultural Research Service Southeast Area (September 2025) for a Gerstel LabWorks Platform configured for an Agilent 8890 Gas Chromatograph with universal sample introduction and thermal desorption capabilities, a $295.6 thousand purchase order from the Food and Drug Administration (August 2024) for a Gerstel autosampler, a $258.97 thousand purchase order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (September 2021) for gas chromatograph/single-quadrupole mass spectrometer system maintenance, and a $216.4 thousand purchase order from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (December 2024) for preventative maintenance, repair, software upgrades, and technical support on Gerstel analytical instruments at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.

Customer concentration is broad across civilian research and testing agencies. The top five customers by award count represent 35% of recent awards: the Food and Drug Administration leads with 28 awards ($2.8 million combined potential value), followed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division (23 awards, $1.2 million), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (17 awards, $2.7 million), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (16 awards, $1.4 million), and the U.S. Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (16 awards, $1.6 million). The top five customers by potential value cover 57% of combined dollars, with CDC Pittsburgh offices and the FDA anchoring most of the value-weighted work. The vendor serves 57 distinct customer agencies across a 282-award footprint spanning from 1997 to June 2026.

Award activity has remained modest in recent years — four awards in 2026 to date, six in 2025, six in 2024, eleven in 2023, and eight in 2022. Nine awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The vendor carries a single named parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract DAAD0502A0097 under the Army, with three task orders placed against it. Gerstel Inc. operates primarily as a prime; sub-award activity is minimal (2% of portfolio), routed through Hanford Laboratory Management And Integration LLC on Department of Energy laboratory complex work involving procurement and installation of thermal desorption units, multipurpose samplers, and sample extraction supplies.

Award portfolio composition is heavily concentrated in analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (202 awards, 71% of the total) under NAICS 334516, with secondary volume in other professional equipment and supplies merchant wholesaling (29 awards). The combined potential value across all 282 awards is $19.6 million, with $18.5 million (94%) already obligated. The vendor's federal footprint is driven by direct sales of specialized instrumentation and maintenance rather than systems integration or consulting; performance locations span multiple federal laboratories and research facilities.
