Phamatech, Incorporated

Phamatech, Incorporated, doing business as Phamatech Laboratories And Diagnostics, manufactures and supplies urinalysis testing cups, laboratory confirmation services, and related diagnostic products to the federal correctional system as a prime contractor under the Total Small Business set-aside. Based in San Diego, California, Phamatech is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Asian-Pacific American-owned for-profit corporation that operates almost exclusively within the Bureau of Prisons network, with 100% of its federal awards held as prime contracts rather than subcontracting positions.

Phamatech's customer footprint is highly concentrated within the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. The top five Bureau of Prisons facilities by award count—Federal Correctional Institution Elkton (256 awards, $87 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Three Rivers (169 awards, $51 thousand), Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (103 awards, $413 thousand), United States Penitentiary Big Sandy (90 awards, $107 thousand), and Federal Transfer Center Oklahoma City (90 awards, $17 thousand)—account for a limited share of the overall portfolio by value. By potential value, the concentration shifts to Federal Correctional Complex Coleman (59 awards, $693 thousand), Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (103 awards, $413 thousand), Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (49 awards, $376 thousand), Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg (74 awards, $219 thousand), and Federal Correctional Institution Herlong (75 awards, $202 thousand). Across 111 distinct customer agencies in source data, Bureau of Prisons facilities dominate the active footprint.

Phamatech holds its primary vehicle position through the Bureau of Prisons master Blanket Purchase Agreement 15BNAS24A00000044, a $6.26 million single-award Total Small Business set-aside awarded March 1, 2024, extending through September 30, 2026, and placed against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. This vehicle anchors the portfolio: 5,319 task orders valued at $26.7 million in combined potential value derive from the MAS parent vehicle, while 4,278 task orders valued at $9 million flow through the Law Enforcement & Security Services vehicle. Representative work includes quarterly and facility-specific calls for 14-panel urinalysis test cups with chain of custody forms, laboratory confirmation testing services, and pharmaceutical diagnostic supplies. Example awards include a $29.7 thousand call from United States Penitentiary Hazleton for inmate urinalysis cups and testing for Option Year 2 (October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026); a $34.3 thousand call from Federal Correctional Complex Florence for pharmaceutical drug testing supplies; a $39.1 thousand call from Federal Correctional Complex Butner for inmate urinalysis on-site test cup and laboratory services; and a $26.9 thousand call from United States Penitentiary Canaan for the same scope. Individual call values typically range from several hundred to over $30,000 on firm fixed-price terms.

Activity has remained stable to modest in recent years. Awards per year tracked at 75 in 2022, declining to 60 in 2023, then rising to 168 in 2024, 185 in 2025, and 130 in 2026 year-to-date. The combined potential value across all 5,381 awards (prime and sub) totals $54.6 million, with $18.6 million obligated, representing 34% execution. The recompete window over the next twenty-four months shows minimal exposure: only four awards with combined potential value of $51 thousand face ultimate completion by October 2026, indicating the master BPA extension through September 2026 carries the material renewal event.

Phamatech operates with no visible subcontracting footprint—sub awards account for one grant sub-award (OTC Covid test kits to Louisiana Department of Health, September 8, 2023) and represent 0% of the contract prime portfolio. The vendor's NAICS concentration spans Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (4,900 awards), Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (311 awards), and Drugs and Druggist Sundries Merchant Wholesalers (76 awards). PSC coding reflects Replenishable Field Medical Sets, Kits, and Outfits (2,444 awards) and Reference Laboratory Testing (1,639 awards), framing the business as specialized diagnostics manufacturing and testing services within the correctional compliance and inmate health monitoring domain.
