Pulcir Inc.

Pulcir Inc., a for-profit corporation based in Knoxville, Tennessee, supplies ultra-low temperature freezers, laboratory refrigeration equipment, and related scientific and medical instrumentation to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under GSA Multiple Award Schedule task orders. The company does not compete under SBA set-asides; roughly 52% of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, while the remainder are full-and-open or unrestricted GSA MAS calls, reflecting a mixed but non-dependent set-aside posture.

Pulcir's capability portfolio centers on specialized laboratory and medical equipment procurement—specifically ultra-low temperature freezers (Stirling brand models predominate), blood bank and vaccine refrigeration units, laboratory freezers, and ancillary monitoring and backup power systems. Representative recent work includes a $249,520 delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 in June 2026 for 16 ultra-low temperature freezers with factory-installed monitors under the MAS, a $63,745 vaccine refrigerator delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 in the same month, a $33,292 purchase order from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service in August 2025 for two ultralow temperature freezers with six-year warranty at the Eastern Laboratory in Athens, Georgia, and a $46,874 order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in September 2023 for Stirling upright ultra-cold freezers. Work is performed at customer sites across CONUS, with administrative operations in Knoxville and occasionally Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Customer concentration is broad but skewed toward health and research agencies. The top five customers by award count—the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Plains Area, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, CDC Pittsburgh, the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and Veterans Integrated Service Network 8—account for 23% of awards. When ranked by potential value, CDC Pittsburgh anchors the list at $2 million combined potential value across 25 awards, followed by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations ($663 thousand across 12 awards) and multiple USDA Agricultural Research Service units. No single customer dominates the footprint; rather, Pulcir serves 98 distinct federal agencies, with the VA, CDC, USDA, and Navy as recurring anchors.

Pulcir's vehicle position is nearly singular: 407 task orders (75% of recent awards) sit under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, generating $9.7 million in combined potential value. Smaller volumes flow through two Department of Homeland Security vehicles—a Blanket Purchase Agreement (5 task orders, $486 thousand) and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (4 task orders, $105 thousand). No GWAC or agency-wide IDIQ presence is evident in the source data.

Activity has declined notably in recent years. Awards per year dropped from 14 in 2022 to 2 in 2026 year-to-date, a trajectory suggesting pipeline contraction or customer budget constraints rather than competitive loss. Only two awards carrying combined potential value of $313 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure but also signaling limited near-term pipeline visibility. Historical award data extends to 1988, indicating forty-year tenure as a federal contractor.

The primary NAICS footprint clusters around laboratory and refrigeration equipment manufacturing: Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (425 awards), Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (27 awards), and Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing (26 awards). Procurement Service Code distribution reinforces this: Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (234 awards), Medical and Surgical Instruments and Equipment (122 awards), and Refrigeration Equipment (85 awards) represent 77% of recorded work. Pulcir operates as a solo prime; no subcontractor relationships appear in the award record. The vendor's business model is product fulfillment and logistics—procuring branded freezer units from manufacturers such as Stirling and delivering them to federal agency end-users—rather than systems integration, engineering, or service contracting.
