About the company
Harvard Bioscience Inc., operating through its Harvard Apparatus Division and subsidiaries, manufactures and sells specialized biomedical research equipment and scientific instruments to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Holliston, Massachusetts. Harvard Bioscience operates through six named subsidiaries including Hoefer, Inc., Coulbourn Instruments LLC, Denville Scientific Inc., and Triangle Biosystems Inc., each contributing to its portfolio of electrophysiology systems, syringe pumps, ventilators, electroporators, and specialized laboratory instrumentation for in vivo and in vitro research.
Harvard Bioscience's federal work spans 357 awards over the past two decades, concentrated in small-value purchase orders for direct equipment and supplies rather than larger systems integration or service contracts. Recent representative awards include a $92,730 firm fixed-price definitive contract from the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations for aging AgilePulse in vivo electroporation systems (September 2026, completion September 2027); a $66,634 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 for a Harvard Wireless Rodent Electrophysiology System at Nashville VAMC (March 2024); a $25,822 purchase order from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy for high-pressure syringe pump equipment supporting continuous plasma runs at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Morgantown, West Virginia (June 2024); and a $22,763 purchase order from the National Institute on Drug Abuse for catalog-based syringe pumps, ventilators, and electrophysiology systems (September 2024). Set-aside activity is minimal: two awards carry Total Small Business designations, while the overwhelming majority are full-and-open procurements.
Customer concentration is broad but tilted toward life-sciences and medical research agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 21 percent of awards, led by the Department of the Army Medical Command (23 awards, $322 thousand combined potential value) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (17 awards, $104 thousand). By potential value, the ranking shifts: the Food and Drug Administration leads with 11 awards valued at $364 thousand combined, followed by Army Medical Command and Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (6 awards, $261 thousand). The vendor serves 67 distinct federal agencies across health research, biomedical science, energy, and defense research portfolios. Harvard Bioscience's award portfolio concentrates in two primary NAICS categories: Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (170 awards) and Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (20 awards), with corresponding PSC coding emphasizing Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (223 awards) and Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (70 awards).
Activity has been intermittent over recent years: three awards in 2022, one in 2023, five in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026. The combined potential value across all 357 awards is $4.2 million, though obligated dollars total $5.5 million—indicating both historical execution and mature contract completion. Only one award reaches recompete in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $93 thousand), suggesting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Harvard Bioscience maintains a single named subcontract award: a sub position under Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC on a DARPA research program support services contract for materials (May 2025). The vendor's prime footprint is entirely federal contracts (356 prime awards, 100 percent of total activity), with no federal grant prime awards or participation in major government-wide vehicles such as GWACs or agency-wide IDIQs beyond a single Indefinite Delivery Contract (HR001122D0001).
