K&R Technologies LLC

K&R Technologies LLC, operating as Hypoxygen Or Microbiology International, supplies specialized laboratory equipment—autoclaves, media preparation systems, anaerobic workstations, and hypoxic chambers—along with preventive maintenance and repair services to federal civilian agencies as a small-business prime contractor competing full-and-open, with no set-aside posture except for occasional Partial Small Business or Total Small Business designations on individual orders. The Frederick, Maryland-based sole proprietorship limited liability company has accumulated 335 prime awards (100% of tracked footprint) and one sub-award since 1998, generating $15.9 million in combined potential value with $11.5 million obligated.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward the Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service's Office of Administrative Services Procurement Management Branch, which accounts for 50 awards valued at $6 million—37.7% of combined potential value across all vendors' work. The Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration (21 awards, $763 thousand), the Department of the Army Medical Command (20 awards, $582 thousand), and the DOD Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (4 awards, $1.1 million) represent the next material customer concentrations. The top five customer entities by potential value cover 56% of the footprint. K&R Technologies has worked with 53 distinct federal agencies, but the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service and HHS (National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and FDA) account for the plurality of recent activity.

Equipment procurement dominates the portfolio: a $174.4 thousand definitive contract with USDA's Office of Administrative Services for a Systec MP120 media prep unit with lift and preventive maintenance (September 2026, completing September 2029); a $198.5 thousand purchase order from FDA for a Whitley A25 anaerobic workstation system with installation and training (August 2026, completing December 2026); a $139.1 thousand equipment purchase from USDA for a Systec MediaPrep 120 with printer, installation, and training (June 2023, completing October 2023); and recurring maintenance agreements across HHS agencies valued at $11 thousand to $28 thousand per order. K&R Technologies sits on the "Scientific Equipment and Services" parent vehicle with 112 task orders valued at $4.1 million, plus several USDA Agricultural Research Service indefinite delivery contracts (13 task orders, $423 thousand under AG3A94C170006).

Award frequency has declined from six awards in 2022 to four in 2026, a trend consistent with the vendor's shift from new equipment procurement to longer-term maintenance contracts. Only five awards (combined potential value $457 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months, exposing modest recompete risk. NAICS concentration clusters around Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (175 awards) and equipment repair and maintenance (47 awards under NAICS 811310), with PSC code 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies) appearing in 175 awards—reflecting K&R Technologies' narrow but deep specialization in microbiological lab infrastructure for federal research and diagnostic programs. The single sub-award on record is a preventive maintenance services task under the Battelle National Biodefense Institute's Department of Homeland Security NBACC FFRDC contract at Fort Detrick (June 2025).
