About the company
Lab Express LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, supplies specialized laboratory animal food and meal services to the National Institutes of Health as a prime contractor operating entirely on small business set-asides and full-and-open competitive awards. The company is structured as a limited liability corporation and holds designations as a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned, and woman-owned small business.
Lab Express operates exclusively within the federal research-support ecosystem, serving three NIH institutes through direct purchase orders for fly food media and meal services at research facilities. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute dominates the customer base, accounting for 7 awards worth $1.4 million in combined potential value — substantially all dollars obligated (97% of combined potential value). The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases provides 16 awards totaling $179 thousand, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development contributed 3 awards valued at $108 thousand. Representative work includes a $273 thousand woman-owned small business sole-source purchase order awarded by NHLBI in November 2022 for fly food services at the Division of Intramural Research Fly Facility in Ann Arbor covering November 2022 through November 2024; a $164,747.50 total small business purchase order from NHLBI in September 2025 for fly food supply and specialized food media to maintain Drosophila fly stocks, including an estimated 50–100 meals and snacks daily; and a $144,987.65 firm-fixed-price purchase order from NHLBI awarded September 29, 2026, for fly food supply with completion by September 28, 2027. All work is categorized under NAICS 311119 (Other Animal Food Manufacturing) or PSC Forage and Feed. Recent activity is sparse — one award in 2026 and two in 2025 — with one purchase order worth $145 thousand reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. Lab Express operates no parent contract vehicles and engages in no subcontracting relationships.
