About the company
Med Associates, Inc., a woman-owned Vermont-based manufacturer of operant conditioning chambers, behavioral research systems, and related neuroscience instrumentation, operates as a prime contractor exclusively in the federal biomedical research space, with 395 purchase orders across 46 customer agencies and no subcontract footprint. The company competes in full-and-open procurements—none of its recent awards carry set-aside designations—and delivers specialized laboratory equipment, software, and components for animal behavioral research in drug addiction, neuropsychiatry, and pharmacology studies.
Med Associates' customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian research agencies. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) dominates both volume and dollar value, accounting for 178 awards (45% of the total portfolio) valued at $4.4 million combined potential value. NIDA work is the company's core business, anchored on repeated purchases of rat and mouse self-administration chambers, operant conditioning system components, fear conditioning apparatus, pellet feeders, and control modules to support NIDA's Intramural Research Program laboratories in Baltimore. Representative NIDA contracts include a $150.7 thousand purchase order for 16 rat training chambers (awarded September 2023), a $78.9 thousand rat self-administration system (July 2022), and a $142.5 thousand supply of rat training chambers (August 2026). Beyond NIDA, the company serves the Food and Drug Administration ($719 thousand across 9 awards), the Army Medical Command ($427 thousand across 17 awards), the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development ($300 thousand), and multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks across the VA system. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for approximately 65% of combined portfolio dollars.
Activity has remained modest but consistent over the recent five-year window: 9 awards in 2022, rising to 19 in 2023, then moderating to 15 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 4 year-to-date in 2026. The company faces minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months, with only 2 awards (combined potential value $196 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside that window. Med Associates' work is classified predominantly under NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals, 140 awards) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, 97 awards), with a significant share under PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, 283 awards). All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders, typically valued between $12 thousand and $150 thousand per order, with performance occurring at the company's Fairfax, Vermont headquarters, Baltimore intramural research locations, or customer sites including VA medical centers and NIH facilities nationwide.
