Scintica Inc.

Scintica Inc., a for-profit medical device manufacturer based in Webster, Texas, supplies specialized preclinical imaging and research instrumentation to federal health and biomedical research agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across eighteen recent purchase orders totaling $2.6 million in combined potential value, all of which are obligated.

Scintica's product portfolio centers on small-animal imaging systems and physiological monitoring equipment for preclinical research. The company manufactures or distributes ultrasound imaging systems (Prospect T1 High Frequency Ultrasound for mice and rats), dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry systems (Insight DXA for bone mineral density analysis), intravital microscopy platforms (IVM-CMS all-in-one systems), preclinical MRI systems with 1 Tesla permanent magnets, and ancillary monitoring equipment including pressure arteriography systems and oxygen/temperature monitoring platforms. Representative recent work includes a $733,487.50 purchase order from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (September 2026) for an IVM-CMS intravital microscope system; a $619,127.50 purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (September 2026) for a preclinical MRI system with integrated animal handling and anesthesia delivery; and a $142,178 order from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (April 2025) for a preclinical ultrasound system. NIEHS also holds a sole-source full-service maintenance contract (September 2024, $75,000 through September 2029) for Scintica's Insight DEXA system.

Customer concentration centers on National Institutes of Health intramural research institutes and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The top five customer components account for 56% of award count and 80% of combined potential value. NIEHS leads by dollars with three awards totaling $946 thousand; VISN 1 anchors recent volume with a $619 thousand MRI system; the National Cancer Institute holds three awards worth $216 thousand collectively; and VISN 7 and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering each carry single orders in the $140–$147 thousand range. The vendor has served thirteen distinct customer agencies total, predominantly within HHS-NIH and VA networks.

Activity peaked at five awards in 2024 and has declined to two in 2026 (year-to-date through mid-September). Two awards totaling $1.4 million face completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Scintica does not hold seats on government-wide vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs; all awards are direct purchase orders under FAR Part 12 (commercial items) or equivalent unrestricted competition, typically evaluated on lowest-price technically acceptable basis. The vendor's federal footprint is narrowly specialized — all awards cluster under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies) — reflecting a business model focused on equipment supply rather than systems integration or service delivery.
