Opentrons Labworks Inc.

Opentrons Labworks Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Long Island City, New York, delivers robotic liquid-handling systems and automated laboratory equipment to federal research agencies as a prime contractor, with 91% of recent awards as a direct supplier and 9% as a subcontractor on larger research initiatives. The vendor competes full-and-open, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Opentrons' federal capability centers on commercial robotic pipetting systems, automated liquid-handling workstations, and associated laboratory automation equipment. Representative prime work includes a $126,703 purchase order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in September 2026 for an Opentrons robot serving NOAA's Office of Science and Technology, a $58,848 firm fixed-price delivery of a 96-channel FLEX PREP WORKSTATION to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in September 2024, a $24,830 CARE PLUS SERVICE AGREEMENT for an OT-2 liquid-handling robot with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services running through June 2027, and a $22,096 NM-SW NATIVE ARC-LIQUID HANDLER delivery to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in September 2023. The vendor also supplies multi-channel electronic pipettes, solution dispensers, and automated liquid handlers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Cancer Institute.

Customer concentration is distributed across federal research and civilian health agencies. The top five customers by award count and potential value account for 57% to 75% of recent awards, respectively. NOAA leads by both volume (5 awards, $175 thousand combined potential value) and consistency, followed by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (3 awards, $139 thousand) and CDC Pittsburgh (3 awards, $89 thousand). The vendor has also served the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the National Cancer Institute, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Across 23 recent awards spanning 15 distinct customer agencies, combined potential value totals $613 thousand, with obligated dollars reaching $624 thousand.

Activity has declined from seven awards in 2021 to one in 2026, with a particular drop-off in 2023 (two awards). The vendor occupies a single parent vehicle: the Defense Logistics Agency Medical Capital Equipment Program, which carries one task order. One award (combined potential value $25 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore presents recompete exposure. As a subcontractor, Opentrons supplied robotic equipment and workstations to Mantech Mgs, Inc. on an MIT Lincoln Laboratory research and development task in April 2024 and to the Regents of the University of Michigan on an ice-control-enhancement closed-loop molecular design project in March 2024. Category concentration aligns with the product mix: 13 awards fall under Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (NAICS 334516), 7 under Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing, with primary PSC coding as Laboratory Equipment And Supplies.
