Perkinelmer U.s. LLC

PerkinElmer U.S. LLC, a Connecticut-based manufacturer of advanced analytical laboratory instruments, operates as a prime contractor delivering equipment sales and comprehensive maintenance services to federal agencies across 54 customer organizations, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit limited liability company and subsidiary of PerkinElmer, Inc., with named subsidiaries including PerkinElmer Health Sciences Puerto Rico, LLC and Covaris, LLC.

PerkinElmer's federal footprint centers on maintenance, repair, calibration, and preventive support for its own manufactured analytical instrumentation — principally inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometers (ICP-OES), atomic absorption spectrometers, UV-VIS spectrometers, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) systems. Recent representative work includes a $1.68 billion CDC Pittsburgh maintenance agreement (FY2024 invoicing of $473 thousand), a $719,822.55 Department of the Army contract for Oil Express FT-IR spectrometer preventive maintenance through February 2029, a $500,674.14 Defense Health Agency equipment maintenance and repair order for Aberdeen Proving Ground through September 2027, a $473,496.11 Army Research Development and Engineering Command maintenance services contract for Picatinny Arsenal equipment through November 2027, and a $329,255.90 U.S. Geological Survey delivery order for two ICP-MS systems. The company also manufactures and delivers new analytical instruments — a $284,202.01 National Science Foundation ICP-MS purchase order, a $136,310.77 EPA Region 3 ICP-OES delivery, and a $135,963.59 USDA Agricultural Research Service GC-MS system, among others.

Customer concentration skews civilian research and regulatory agencies. The top five funding organizations by potential value — Environmental Protection Agency Region 7, Defense Health Agency, USGS, Naval Sea Systems Command, and FDA — account for 47 percent of combined potential value across 133 awards. By award count, the U.S. Mint leads with 13 awards ($474 thousand), followed by USGS with 11 awards ($1.2 million), and FDA with 8 awards ($553 thousand), together representing 34 percent of awards. EPA Region 7 anchors the dollars ranking at $2.4 million across four awards, reflecting PerkinElmer's dominant seat on two blanket purchase agreements: a $1.48 billion EPA Region 7 BPA awarded August 2025 running through July 2028 covering preventive maintenance, calibration, repair, training, and sustainment for PerkinElmer equipment across EPA research, development, and production facilities nationwide; and a closed $700,000 EPA Region 7 BPA expiring July 2025. Task orders under these vehicles include $190,788 service and maintenance agreements with the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, $82,379.40 maintenance for EPA Region 7 Kansas City operations, and $60,034.50 full-service maintenance for seven on-site instruments at EPA's Denver Federal Center.

Award trajectory shows growth through 2024 followed by moderation. PerkinElmer averaged five awards in 2022, jumped to 39 in 2023 and 42 in 2024, then declined to 33 in 2025 and 10 in 2026 (partial-year data). Thirty-nine awards with combined potential value of $5.4 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across maintenance and equipment sale pipelines. Prime awards represent 91 percent of the portfolio; subcontractor work accounts for nine percent through named primes including Astrion Group (LASSO II laboratory support contracts), Leidos (critical minerals research, DoD acquisition support), Fluor Marine Propulsion (Naval Nuclear Laboratory operations), and others.

SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing, which captures contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods and product sales, shows $473 thousand in FY2024 across 0.3 FTEs on a single prime contract (CDC Pittsburgh). The median government-paid rate derived from those hours is $833.53 per hour. PerkinElmer self-performed all reported labor without subcontractor involvement on SCI-reportable contracts. This SCI snapshot represents a strict subset of the vendor's federal services activity and excludes the substantial equipment-sales and micro-maintenance portfolio that dominates the 133-award footprint.

The company competes on open-market basis across civilian agencies — no awards carry set-aside designations — and has built its federal position as the original equipment manufacturer authorized to service its own instruments, creating sole-source justifications for many maintenance renewals. Category concentration reflects this model: 76 awards (57 percent) fall under Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance NAICS code 811210, while 24 awards (18 percent) sit under Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The maintenance/repair/rebuild PSC dominates with 83 awards (62 percent), underscoring the company's established role as the OEM service provider across federal research laboratories and regulatory agencies.
