Pulcir Inc.

Pulcir Inc., a for-profit corporation based in Knoxville, Tennessee, supplies ultra-low temperature freezers, laboratory refrigeration equipment, and related scientific apparatus to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule under both full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside designations.

Pulcir operates as a 100% prime contractor across 545 awards with no subcontract footprint. The vendor specializes in concrete goods: ultra-low temperature freezers (Stirling, PHCBI, K2 Scientific, and proprietary models typically operating at -80°C to -100°C), vaccine and blood bank refrigerators, laboratory freezers with microprocessor controls and touchscreen interfaces, and ancillary equipment such as biomedical monitors and detector readers. Representative recent work includes a $35,043 purchase order from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases in September 2026 for an adjustable ultra-low temperature freezer with five shelves and real-time event monitoring (firm fixed price, completion September 2027); a $70,160 delivery order from the Plains Area in August 2026 under GSA MAS for five PHCBI VIP ECO ULT upright freezers and five K2 Scientific K226ULT units to Grand Forks, North Dakota; and a $249,520 delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 in June 2026 under GSA MAS for 16 Vault100-PWR5 ultra-low temperature freezers with factory-installed 4-20mA monitors (Total Small Business set-aside, completion August 2026).

Customer concentration is highly dispersed across 97 distinct agencies, with the top five accounting for only 23% of recent awards. The Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh anchors the largest potential-value share at $2 million across 25 awards, followed by the Department of Agriculture's Plains Area and related ARS facilities ($632 thousand and $608 thousand respectively across 30 and 19 orders), the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Procurement Operations ($663 thousand across 12 awards), and the Department of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ($549 thousand across 23 orders). Veterans Health Administration networks (VISNs 8 and 10) round out the active set, reflecting heavy concentration in civilian medical, research, and public-health agencies rather than defense or intelligence missions.

Pulcir places virtually all work through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 408 task orders worth $9.8 million in combined potential value. Secondary vehicles include a Homeland Security BPA (HSHQDC11A00002) with 5 task orders valued at $486 thousand and an older DHS indefinite delivery contract (HSHQDC09D00002) with 4 task orders at $105 thousand. The GSA MAS vehicle is the primary path to federal customers, with delivery orders flowing from civilian agencies' regional procurement offices (Plains Area, Northeast Area, Pacific West Area) and direct ordering agencies (CDC, VA VISNs, NIH institutes, USDA-ARS, USGS).

Award activity has declined markedly: 14 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 5 in 2026 year-to-date. Only 3 awards with combined potential value of $121 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Combined potential value across 545 awards stands at $32.4 million, with $12.6 million (39%) obligated to date, suggesting a mix of exercised orders and pricing-only schedule positions.

Pulcir's NAICS footprint is dominated by Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (426 awards), with secondary categories in refrigeration equipment manufacturing (27 awards) and analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (27 awards), reflecting the freezer-centric product line. PSC coding tracks similarly, with 233 awards under Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (PSC codes in the 6600 range) and 122 under Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. The vendor's registered federal contractor presence dates to at least 2001 and spans nearly four decades of awards in the source data, though the pace has softened materially over the past three years.
