Meyer Instruments, Inc.

Meyer Instruments, Inc. distributes automated slide scanners, digital microscopy equipment, and associated optical instrumentation to federal research and clinical agencies as a small-business prime contractor on purchase orders, with no subcontract footprint.

Meyer Instruments operates as a for-profit corporate entity based in Houston, Texas, and holds small-business designations across most of its federal work—the top nine awards by recent date show small-business set-asides on six of them. The vendor's core capability is the distribution and delivery of Glissando-brand automated histology and thin-section slide scanners with 20-slide capacity, Extended Depth of Field software, barcode readers, and autofocus tissue detection, sold alongside complementary optical instrumentation including polarizing scanners and high-performance stereomicroscopes. NAICS classification centers on Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing (20 awards) and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (15 awards), with PSC coding split between Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (20 awards) and Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories (16 awards). Recent representative work includes a $90,251.50 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service for a Glissando RS20 system with 400X magnification and automated tissue detection, delivered to Calverton, Maryland by December 31, 2026; a $46,410.50 total small business set-aside from HHS's National Hansen's Disease Program for a Motic EasyScan Pro 6 digital histology scanner delivered to Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and a $70,395 total small business set-aside from USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for a Glissando 20-slide scanner to support plant pathology lab work.

Customer concentration is broadly distributed across 29 distinct federal agencies with no dominant funder. The top five customer agencies by combined potential value account for 41% of Meyer Instruments' award portfolio and include the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Northeast Area ($160 thousand across 2 awards), NOAA ($72 thousand across 6 awards), USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service ($70 thousand), the Department of the Interior US Geological Survey ($68 thousand across 2 awards), and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service ($55 thousand). NOAA leads by award count (six purchase orders) but ranks second by dollars; USDA agencies collectively dominate the portfolio. All 67 awards in the source are prime contracts with no subcontract activity, and Meyer Instruments holds no seats on government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or IDIQs. Activity has been episodic—one award in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2026—following an earlier spike of five awards in 2022. Two awards with a combined potential value of $137 thousand face completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore carry recompete exposure. Combined obligated dollars ($1.3 million) exceed combined potential value ($1 million), indicating that several awards executed at or above ceiling. Meyer Instruments competes exclusively in full-and-open small-business set-asides; the vendor has no history of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other socioeconomic set-aside designations on record.
