PHC Corporation Of North America

PHC Corporation Of North America, a foreign-owned for-profit manufacturer based in Wood Dale, Illinois, supplies ultra-low temperature freezers, refrigeration equipment, and laboratory incubators to civilian federal research agencies as a prime contractor through the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule, with no use of set-aside categories across its award footprint. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements.

PHC's federal portfolio centers on temperature-controlled storage equipment for biomedical research. Recent representative work includes a $40,348 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Department of Health and Human Services' Central Program Planning Coordination and Support (March 2026) for an ultra-low temperature freezer; a $16,067.88 delivery order from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (March 2026) for a high-capacity refrigerant equipment unit; and a $29,698.74 delivery order from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services (February 2026) for two humidified plant growth chambers with integrated environmental controls. These orders exemplify PHC's core market: supplying specialized cold-storage and laboratory incubation equipment to support research infrastructure across federal agencies.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward HHS research agencies. The top five funding entities account for 25% of combined potential value across all awards. The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations leads both volume and dollars with 128 awards valued at $11.8 million combined potential value, followed by the NIH Office of the Director (180 awards, $5.5 million), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (115 awards, $3.9 million). Other significant customers include the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration ($1.9 million across 11 awards) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 ($1 million across 10 awards). The vendor also serves the Department of Agriculture, Department of Interior, NASA, and the Department of Defense at smaller scales.

PHC operates predominantly through a single parent vehicle. The General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule anchors the footprint with 804 task orders valued at $28.4 million combined potential value. The vendor also holds a $10 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (referenced as expiring March 2026 in multiple award descriptions), which has generated 103 task orders valued at $2.9 million. This BPA structure enables multiple NIH institutes to place routine equipment orders without full competition.

Activity has grown substantially over the past five years. Awards per year rose from 56 in 2022 to a peak of 129 in 2023, moderating to 116 in 2024. The 2025 and 2026 figures (27 and 5 awards respectively) reflect incomplete-year data as of the source snapshot date. Combined potential value stands at $97.7 million across the full award portfolio, with $22.7 million (23%) obligated to date. Only three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing $37 thousand in recompete exposure—a negligible cliff relative to the overall portfolio.

Categorically, PHC's awards cluster in two PSC codes: Laboratory Equipment And Supplies (546 awards) and Refrigeration Equipment (255 awards), together accounting for approximately 79% of all awards. Top NAICS designations are Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (153 awards) and Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment and Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing (36 awards). The vendor does not appear in the sub-award population in this data set—all 1,017 awards are prime contracts or delivery orders.

PHC competes in full-and-open procurements on GSA Schedule pricing, with no participation in 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other SBA set-aside categories. Foreign ownership and lack of small-business certification position the vendor as a mainstream commercial supplier competing on technical merit and schedule pricing rather than socioeconomic preference. The award history spans eighty-one distinct federal agencies, though concentration remains acute in civilian research and public health—NIH, CDC, and related HHS components represent the overwhelming majority of the active customer base and dollar value.
