About Hunt Optics & Imaging Inc.
Hunt Optics & Imaging Inc., a Pittsburgh-based for-profit subchapter S corporation, manufactures and supplies high-end scientific and medical imaging equipment—primarily optical microscopes, microscope cameras, and laboratory instrumentation—to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, with recent awards showing a small-business set-aside designation appearing only on three contracts in 2025–2026 despite a two-decade federal contracting history dating to 2004.
Hunt Optics & Imaging Inc.'s federal work centers on procurement of specialized microscopy systems for clinical diagnostics, research, and pathology support. Recent representative contracts include a $125,758 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 (February 2026) for Evident Scientific microscopes; a $62,294 Total Small Business set-aside from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (August 2025) for an Olympus BX53 microscope at the Warm Springs Fish Hatchery in Georgia; a $93,361 delivery order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (August 2024) for a BX53-P microscope; and a $29,485 Total Small Business set-aside from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (September 2025) for two microscope cameras with USB 3.1 connectivity and cellSens software for the National Poultry Research Center in Athens, Georgia.
Customer concentration is distributed across civilian research and healthcare facilities. The top five customers by award count account for 44% of all awards and include the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (19 awards, $500 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (14 awards, $200 thousand), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (11 awards, $392 thousand). By dollar value, the same three agencies anchor the portfolio, representing 54% of combined potential value, indicating alignment between volume and magnitude across customer relationships.
Activity has remained episodic and low-volume, with 1–2 awards per year from 2021–2024 and acceleration to 6 awards in 2025, most recently a $32,903 purchase order from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (April 2026) for cytology microscopes. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $126 thousand), reducing near-term recompete exposure. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint; across 140 total awards, the portfolio splits 100% prime and 0% sub. Combined potential value across all awards is $3.1 million, with $3 million obligated (98% of potential), reflecting the firm fixed-price, small-dollar procurement structure characteristic of federal laboratory equipment supply.
