Mettler-Toledo Rainin, LLC

Mettler-Toledo Rainin, LLC, a subsidiary of Mettler-Toledo LLC based in Oakland, California, manufactures and supplies laboratory pipettes, pipette tips, calibration services, and related consumables to federal agencies as a prime contractor operating in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on precision laboratory equipment and consumables. Concrete representative work includes a $30.9 million definitive contract awarded by the Department of the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center in September 2021 to expand domestic pipette tip production capacity to 340 million units per month in support of COVID-19 pandemic response; a $151,244.44 definitive contract with the Defense Health Agency in October 2025 for pipette calibrations, service, repair, and replacements at Brooke Army Medical Center through September 2030; a $109,053.80 purchase order from HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration in October 2023 for BioWatch warehouse supplies; and a $67,978.20 order from HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration in April 2024 for laboratory instruments at the Dahlgren facility. The vendor also delivers recurring six-month pipette calibration services to the Drug Enforcement Administration, on-site calibration and maintenance to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at Bethesda, Maryland, and pipette tips and equipment to the NIH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Smithsonian Institution, the Naval Sea Systems Command, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to health and life-science agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count — the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director (394 awards, $3.6 million combined potential value), HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (85 awards, $3.1 million), CDC Office of Acquisition Services (118 awards, $2.3 million), NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (68 awards, $1.2 million), and the Department of the Army Medical Command (37 awards, $1 million) — account for 34% of all recent awards. The top five by potential value track closely with the award-count ranking, together representing 14% of combined potential value across the broader portfolio. The portfolio spans 85 distinct customer agencies and 2,570 total awards, almost exclusively as prime contractor (2,569 prime awards, one sub-award).

The vendor places the majority of its task orders under Federal Supply Schedules (GSA Schedules), with 239 task orders on GS07F5649R carrying $1.6 million combined potential value, 105 task orders on GS00F2546A, and 56 task orders on GS24F1257C valued at $553 thousand. Standing blanket purchase agreements with HHS drive substantial volume: 143 task orders under HHSN263201200073B (valued at $1.3 million) and 30 task orders under HHSN263201700006B ($260 thousand). These vehicles support both routine procurement of pipettes and tips and specialized services such as on-site calibration and maintenance.

Award activity has contracted in recent years. The vendor recorded 17 awards in 2022, peaked at 35 in 2023, then declined to 20 in 2024 and 11 in 2025, with only one award recorded year-to-date in 2026 as of mid-February. Four awards (combined potential value $128 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a modest recompete exposure. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $82.1 million, with $63.4 million (77%) obligated. The portfolio's primary NAICS concentration clusters in Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (547 awards), All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing (372 awards), and Medical Device supply categories; the top PSC code is Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (1,941 awards), reflecting the vendor's narrow, specialized focus on pipetting technology and consumables.
