Noldus Information Technology, Inc.

Noldus Information Technology, Inc., a for-profit technology company headquartered in Leesburg, Virginia, supplies behavioral research equipment, video tracking software, and gait analysis systems to federal research agencies as a prime contractor on a 100% prime-contract footprint — the vendor carries one documented subcontract sub-award across its 305-award portfolio.

Noldus operates entirely in full-and-open competition with no SBA set-aside designations in its prime contracting posture, though the source notes the company has received a small number of small-business set-aside purchase orders in the past (two set-aside awards appear in the listed contracts: a Total Small Business award from USDA Agricultural Research Service and a Total Small Business award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute). The vendor's capability portfolio centers on concrete hardware and software products: EthoVision XT video tracking and behavioral analysis software, CatWalk XT automated gait analysis systems for quantifying rodent locomotion, PhenoTyper home cage monitoring platforms for rodent activity and anxiety assessment, DanioVision larval fish behavioral tracking systems, UltraVox XT microphone systems for vocalization monitoring, and custom-designed observational laboratories. Representative recent work includes a $351,386 purchase order from the U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command (awarded April 2024) to design, procure, install, and train an Integrated Data Collection Lab at the Soldier & Squad Performance Research Institute in Natick, Massachusetts; a $189,526 order from the Defense Health Agency (September 2024) for automated rodent activity and behavioral monitoring equipment; a $171,537 delivery from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (November 2024) for 16 Phenotyper 2.0 systems; and a $128,823 Bureau of Labor Statistics procurement (July 2025) for cognitive and observational laboratory equipment, installation, training, and maintenance running through July 2029.

Customer concentration is broad across research-intensive civilian and defense agencies. The top five customer offices by combined potential value account for 30% of the portfolio, anchored by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (10 awards, $991 thousand) and VISN 7 (5 awards, $687 thousand), followed by the Department of the Army Medical Command (19 awards, $517 thousand), the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (13 awards, $464 thousand), and the Census Bureau (13 awards, $395 thousand). By award count, the Army Medical Command leads with 19 awards, the National Institute on Drug Abuse follows with 16, and NIEHS and Census each carry 13. The vendor serves 61 distinct federal agencies across health research, defense, agriculture, and statistical agencies, with no single agency exceeding 7% of total awards. The top parent vehicle in the source data is a single indefinite delivery contract (HT001121D0002) with one associated task order; the vendor places most work through direct purchase orders rather than standing IDVs or GWACs.

Award activity has grown from 7 in 2022 to a peak of 16 in 2024, then contracted to 4 in 2025 and 3 in 2026 (through late September) — the recent slowdown likely reflects the tail end of a reporting period rather than a sustained decline. Six awards with combined potential value of $474 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete risk. Combined potential value across all 305 awards totals $10.2 million, with $10.1 million already obligated. The vendor's product category concentration aligns with its mission: Software Publishers accounts for 123 awards (primarily EthoVision XT and related software), Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing represents 103 awards (gait analysis and tracking hardware), and Other Computer Related Services covers 11 awards (integration and lab design support). Across the federal footprint, Noldus operates as a specialized vendor for preclinical and observational research infrastructure rather than as a broad IT services contractor — the portfolio skews toward single-order relationships with research institutes and medical centers rather than multi-year production or services contracts.
