About the company
San Diego Instruments Incorporated, doing business as San Diego Instruments, manufactures specialized behavioral neuroscience research equipment and sells it directly to federal agencies as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The San Diego-based, for-profit manufacturer operates across 116 federal prime awards spanning purchase orders and simplified acquisitions, competing predominantly in full-and-open categories — only one award in the recent sample carried a small-business set-aside designation. The vendor has held federal customer relationships for over thirty years, with primary NAICS classification 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 68-Laboratory Equipment And Supplies accounting for 59% of recent awards.
San Diego Instruments' capability footprint centers on photobeam activity monitoring systems, startle response and tremor monitors, shuttle avoidance systems with shock-monitoring capabilities, auditory test equipment, and related behavioral research instrumentation for rodent and small-animal models. Representative recent work includes a $111,145 purchase order from the Army Materiel Command's Research Development and Engineering Command (awarded November 2024) for seven Gemini Shuttle Avoidance Systems with shock monitoring to support the U.S. Army Research Laboratory; a $60,285 upgrade to a Photobeam Activity Open-Field System for the FDA (awarded June 2024); a $130,545 Startle Reflex/Tremor Monitor System delivery to the National Institute on Drug Abuse running through August 2028 (awarded August 2023); and a $30,690 order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 for SR-Lab Startle Response/Tremor Monitor System kits and accessories (awarded July 2026).
Customer concentration is diffuse across defense and civilian research agencies. The top five customers by potential value account for 45% of combined potential value and include the Army Medical Command ($346 thousand, 7 awards), the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command ($244 thousand, 2 awards), Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 ($196 thousand, 4 awards), the National Institute on Drug Abuse ($161 thousand, 3 awards), and the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ($140 thousand, 4 awards). Activity has declined — from four awards in 2020 to one in 2026 — with only one award facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $131 thousand). Combined potential value across all 116 awards stands at $2.4 million, with obligated dollars at $2.6 million. San Diego Instruments operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract footprint appears in the source.
