Qualitest USA LC

Qualitest USA LC, a small business based in Plantation, Florida, supplies specialized laboratory and testing equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across a portfolio of 52 awards spanning twenty-two customer agencies. The vendor manufactures or distributes analytical instruments, materials-testing apparatus, and sample-preparation equipment — concrete deliverables grounded in NAICS categories for measuring and controlling devices (21 awards), analytical laboratory instruments (12 awards), and machine tool accessories (3 awards).

Qualitest's federal work consists entirely of equipment procurements via purchase orders and definitive contracts, typically valued between $17 thousand and $84 thousand per award. Representative recent work includes a $37,950 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Food and Drug Administration (September 2026) for a Protective Clothing Blood Penetration Resistance Tester to support viral penetration verification testing at the FDA's Winchester Engineering and Analytical Center Laboratory; an $83,952 total small business set-aside purchase order from the U.S. Geological Survey (April 2025) for four Rock and Soil Mills with accessories for laboratory sample preparation; a $22,823 definitive contract from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (July 2025) for a Brittleness Point Temperature Tester compliant with ASTM D2137 standards for the Rubber Products Branch at Red River Army Depot; a $17,421 total small business set-aside purchase order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (September 2025) for a mid-size rotary riffler supporting metals-based additive manufacturing research; and a $46,520 purchase order from NASA (September 2022) for a D307 Permeability Test Instrument.

The vendor's customer base is dispersed across defense and civilian research agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 44% of awards: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command leads with nine awards totaling $46 thousand in combined potential value, followed by the Air Force Sustainment Center (six awards, $24 thousand), the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (four awards, $44 thousand), NIST (two awards, $36 thousand), and the Department of Homeland Security (two awards, $35 thousand). By potential value, however, concentration skews toward single large procurements: the U.S. Geological Survey ($84 thousand) and NASA ($47 thousand) anchor the top-dollar rankings despite low award frequency. Combined potential value across all fifty-two awards stands at $589 thousand, with obligated dollars at $682 thousand, indicating delivery against historical commitments. One award ($38 thousand in potential value) faces completion inside the next twenty-four months and will trigger a recompete opportunity. The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor with no subcontractor activity in the source data.
