Scientific Resources Southwest, Inc.

Scientific Resources Southwest, Inc., doing business as SRS, is a Texas-based service-disabled veteran-owned small business that supplies specialized scientific equipment—cryogenic storage systems, medical refrigeration units, and biosafety cabinets—to federal agencies as a prime contractor. SRS operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) and competes under total small business and veteran-owned small business set-asides across the majority of its footprint.

SRS's equipment portfolio centers on cryopreservation and low-temperature storage systems. Recent representative work includes a $33,161 total small business set-aside purchase order from the USDA Forest Service for a controlled-rate freezer meeting cryopreservation specifications for delivery to the Stuttgart National Aquaculture Research Center in Arkansas (award September 2026, completion October 2026); a $100,287 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Health Agency for scientific equipment at Fort Sam Houston, Texas (July 2026); a $12,434 total small business purchase order from the Defense Health Agency for a medical refrigerator capable of maintaining +2°C to +14°C temperatures (August 2024); and a $44,731 purchase order from the Department of Health and Human Services for BIOWATCH biological safety cabinets in support of the agency's biological detection program (August 2022). SRS also performs preventive maintenance on cryogenic storage equipment; a $54,821 total small business contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs covers liquid-nitrogen chamber maintenance for the VA's Cooperative Studies Program at its Albuquerque facility (award January 2022, completion January 2027).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Veterans Health Administration. The top five customers account for 64% of awards by count and 75% of combined potential value. VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 dominates with 15 awards totaling $249 thousand, followed by the Department of the Army Medical Command (4 awards, $207 thousand), VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (2 awards, $163 thousand), VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (4 awards, $120 thousand), and the Defense Health Agency (2 awards, $113 thousand). The portfolio spans thirteen distinct agencies, but the VA system accounts for the plurality of volume and dollars. NAICS concentration runs to medical equipment wholesale (17 awards), refrigeration and HVAC manufacturing (9 awards), and analytical laboratory instruments (4 awards); PSC data show laboratory equipment and supplies (22 awards) and medical-surgical instruments (9 awards) as primary categories.

Award activity is sparse and episodic—three awards in 2022, one in 2024, two in 2026—with no parent-vehicle seats or IDVs in the source. Combined potential value across all 44 awards is $1.1 million, with $1.1 million obligated (99% realization rate). Two awards carrying combined potential value of $88 thousand face completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete. SRS operates no subcontract footprint; all 44 awards are prime purchases.
