About Percival Scientific Incorporated
Percival Scientific Incorporated, doing business as Percival Scientific Inc., manufactures specialized controlled-environment growth chambers, incubators, and related laboratory equipment for federal research agencies as a prime contractor, with minimal subcontractor exposure. The company is an SBA-certified women-owned small business headquartered in Perry, Iowa, operating as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Percival Scientific competes predominantly full-and-open on the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule, winning delivery orders and purchase orders without reliance on set-aside vehicles, though several awards carry total small business designations.
Percival Scientific's customer footprint centers on civilian agricultural research. The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery dominates both by award count and potential value—170 awards carrying $4.8 million combined potential value—with regional breakdowns across Pacific West (72 awards, $2.3 million), Northeast (71 awards, $2.8 million), Plains (70 awards, $1.9 million), and Midwest (54 awards, $1.4 million) areas accounting for 51% of all awards. Beyond USDA-ARS, the company serves the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Forest Service, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Interior, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Department of Defense's research arms. Representative prime work includes a $602.3 million delivery order with USDA-ARS Northeast Area for reach-in environmental chambers to maintain insect colonies (August 2022), a $243.9 million purchase order with USDA-ARS Pacific West Area for walk-in growth chambers supporting plant and insect research at Wapato, Washington (August 2024), a $155.5 million purchase order with USDA-ARS for a walk-in plant growth chamber with installation (September 2025), and a $518.9 million purchase order with a Southeast Area civilian agency for three walk-in growth chambers with site prep and installation (August 2025).
Percival Scientific places substantially all work through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which accounts for 402 task orders carrying $11.2 million in combined potential value. Secondary vehicles include Federal Supply Schedule GS24F0010M (94 task orders, $2 million combined potential value). The vendor's award activity has held stable—39 awards in 2022, ramping to 49 in 2024, then declining to 19 in 2025 and 4 in 2026 through mid-April—with combined potential value across all 862 awards reaching $36.8 million and $22.1 million obligated (60% realization). Only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $169 thousand, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.
The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor, with 861 of 862 awards held as prime (100%) and only one subcontract sub-award listed under Leidos Inc. (animal care facility goods or services, September 2024). Service Contract Inventory data captures only 2 SCI records across FY2022 (both sub records totaling 0.5 FTEs), reflecting the fact that Percival Scientific's federal revenue streams consist predominantly of goods sold through the GSA Schedule and direct purchase orders—items below the $150 thousand SCI reporting threshold or explicitly excluded from SCI as product sales rather than service contracts. SCI therefore provides no meaningful signal of the company's federal invoicing volume or workforce scale; the vendor's true federal business is measured entirely through product-delivery contracts enumerated in the award portfolio.
