About Picarro, Inc.
Picarro, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of high-precision gas concentration and stable isotope measurement systems based in Santa Clara, California, operates as a prime contractor on 99% of its federal work, competing predominantly full-and-open (no set-asides), with rare exceptions on total small business set-aside purchases. The company manufactures and services cavity ring-down spectrometers, trace gas analyzers, water isotope analyzers, and related instrumentation for environmental monitoring, atmospheric research, and laboratory applications across 32 federal agencies.
Picarro's customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian science and environmental agencies. The top five customers by both award count and potential value are identical, accounting for 58% of awards and 78% of combined potential value: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (34 awards, $9.8 million), the U.S. Geological Survey (31 awards, $2.1 million), the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development (13 awards, $1 million), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (12 awards, $839 thousand), and NASA's Shared Services Center (7 awards, $628 thousand). NOAA alone anchors the relationship—roughly one-third of all Picarro awards fund NOAA programs. Representative work includes a $1.135 million delivery order from NOAA for trace gas analyzers measuring CO2, CH4, CO, and H2O (September 2024), a $285 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from EPA Region 7 for two PI2920 ethylene oxide analyzers with peripherals (May 2024), and a $160 thousand purchase order from USDA Agricultural Research Service for a high-precision isotopic carbon analyzer with installation and training (September 2023). Picarro holds a single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with NOAA valued at $4.2 million running through September 2028 for purchase and repair of cavity ring-down spectrometers, which has generated four task orders worth $2.6 million.
The company's primary NAICS is Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (334516), accounting for 125 of 168 total awards. Work is distributed across laboratory equipment, chemical analysis instruments, and instrument repair and maintenance. Award activity has grown modestly—four awards in 2022 to eleven in 2025—with only $169 thousand in combined potential value facing recompete completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term pipeline pressure. Recent awards are predominantly firm fixed-price purchase orders (most within $21 thousand to $285 thousand range) and delivery orders under the NOAA IDIQ. Picarro reported one subcontract award to NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center in January 2026 for high-precision greenhouse gas concentration analyzers in support of the Engineering and Exploration Integration and Science Directorates. Total obligated federal dollars across all 168 awards stand at $17.6 million, 95% of the $18.5 million combined potential value, reflecting predominantly executed or near-executed work rather than speculative pipeline.
