K&R Technologies LLC

K&R Technologies LLC, operating as Hypoxygen Or Microbiology International, supplies laboratory equipment, maintenance services, and microbiological research support to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor, with over two decades of continuous federal contracting since 2002. The company is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, though occasional Total Small Business and Partial Small Business awards appear in its recent portfolio.

K&R Technologies specializes in media preparation systems, anaerobic workstations and chambers, autoclaves, hypoxic chambers, and related laboratory instrumentation for microbiological research and diagnostic applications. Recent representative prime work includes a $223,080 firm fixed-price definitive contract from the Department of Health and Human Services (awarded September 2025) for preventive maintenance and repair services on media preparation equipment at the agency's Eastern and Western laboratories in Athens, Georgia, running through August 2029; a $128,385 purchase order from the USDA Agricultural Research Service (awarded August 2023) for Systec MediaPrep 20 silver service with autoclave calibration and a four-year optional service plan; and a $112,978 total small business set-aside purchase order from the National Cancer Institute (awarded September 2021) for acquisition of a Hypoxystation H35 hypoxic chamber. A $36,175 partial small business purchase order from the Naval Medical Research Command (awarded January 2026) covers maintenance and repair of Systec laboratory instruments in Silver Spring, Maryland through January 2029.

Customer concentration sits with civilian health and agricultural agencies. The top five funding entities account for 56% of combined potential value across the award portfolio: the Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service's Office of Administrative Services Procurement Management Branch leads with 49 awards valued at $5.8 million; the DOD Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences holds four awards worth $1.1 million; the Department of the Army Medical Command accounts for 20 awards at $582 thousand; the USDA Agricultural Research Service Plains Area has nine awards at $581 thousand; and the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration carries 20 awards at $564 thousand. The source data spans 332 total awards since 1998, with 53 distinct customer agencies represented, though award velocity has moderated to five to six awards per year in 2024–2025.

The vendor places work primarily under a Scientific Equipment and Services IDIQ carrying 112 task orders valued at $4.1 million combined, and under indefinite delivery contracts AG3A94C170006 (13 task orders, $423 thousand) and AG3A94C140004 (5 task orders, $78 thousand). K&R's award portfolio concentrates heavily in Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (172 awards) and Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (47 awards) under NAICS, with PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies) dominating at 173 awards. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — two awards worth $81 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion dates within that window. The vendor operates as a pure prime (331 of 332 awards), with one subcontract award recorded under Battelle National Biodefense Institute on a Department of Homeland Security FFRDC contract at Fort Detrick, Maryland for preventative maintenance services.
