Laboratory Equipment Service, LLC

Laboratory Equipment Service, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Beltsville, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor providing preventative maintenance, repair, and certification services for specialized laboratory equipment and infrastructure to the Food and Drug Administration, competing entirely under Total Small Business set-asides on its core IDV work and mixed set-aside and full-and-open posture across task orders.

Laboratory Equipment Service is a for-profit limited liability partnership that concentrates exclusively on maintenance, repair, and certification of laboratory analytical equipment and facility infrastructure. The vendor's capability portfolio spans HVAC systems, power distribution units, uninterruptible power supplies, biosafety cabinets, autoclaves, electrical infrastructure, compressors, vacuum systems, temperature control equipment, and specialized scientific instruments—work grounded in over 3,400 pieces of equipment across the FDA's White Oak Campus and associated facilities. Representative task orders include a $408,118 delivery order for Site Scan services at Building 72 (June 2023, Total Small Business set-aside), a $4.2 million delivery order for after-hours operations and maintenance support running through March 2027 (June 2023, Total Small Business set-aside), a $19.7 million delivery order for operations and maintenance services at White Oak through March 2027 (September 2022, Total Small Business set-aside), a $636,000 ceiling delivery order for authorized critical and urgent repairs (September 2026), and a $24,665 delivery order for NMR nitrogen backup system repair and modification (September 2026, Total Small Business set-aside).

Customer concentration is absolute: all 251 awards across the vendor's recent footprint (spanning 2022 through September 2026) funded FDA programs. The vendor holds no secondary customer relationships and serves only the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration.

Laboratory Equipment Service anchors its business on two primary indefinite delivery vehicles, both issued by the FDA and both single-award contracts. The $50 million IDV (HHSF223201610009C or similar parent tracking) carries a Total Small Business set-aside designation, runs through March 31, 2027, and has generated 144 task orders totaling $3.1 million in combined potential value. The $4.97 million IDV (75F40122D00031) carries no set-aside designation and has generated 95 task orders worth $32.6 million combined potential value. A third vehicle with a $2.4 million combined potential value across 7 task orders also serves the vendor's FDA work. These vehicles enable the FDA to flexibly procure discrete maintenance and repair work at the White Oak Campus and across FDA facilities nationwide.

Activity has grown from 15 awards in 2022 to a peak of 40 in 2024, with 19 awards in 2025 and 4 through mid-September 2026; the trajectory reflects consistent year-over-year growth in order volume and task order frequency. Eight awards with combined potential value of $30.4 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure for the vendor.

On SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, Laboratory Equipment Service invoiced $9.9 million across FY2024 and FY2025, with no reportable invoicing in FY2022 or FY2023. The vendor delivered approximately 5.9 FTEs to federal service contracts in FY2024 and 12.8 FTEs in FY2025, reflecting workforce ramp as task order volume increased. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $133.82 per hour, with rates spanning $127.96 per hour at the tenth percentile through $390.47 per hour at the ninety-fifth percentile, capturing variation across labor categories and task complexity. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor self-performed approximately 98% of contractor hours; one named subcontractor appeared in the reporting sample, indicating minimal subcontractor engagement and a predominantly self-delivered delivery model. Laboratory Equipment Service operates as a pure prime on all tracked work, with zero sub-award records in the source data.
