Seal Analytical Inc.

Seal Analytical Inc., headquartered in Mequon, Wisconsin, manufactures automated wet chemistry analyzers and analytical laboratory instruments for federal environmental and scientific agencies as a 100% prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The company is a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer that has served as a federal supplier since 2004, with an active footprint across 32 civilian agencies and no subcontracting activity.

Seal Analytical's capability portfolio centers on discrete analyzers, continuous flow analyzers, segmented flow analyzers, and ion chromatography systems designed for water quality testing, nutrient analysis, and environmental monitoring. Representative prime work includes a $89,625.74 five-year contract with the U.S. Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center for preventative maintenance services on three Seal analytical instruments (AQ400, AQ700, and AA500 systems) running through May 2031; a $149,924.48 delivery order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for an AA500 autoanalyzer system to support integrated nutrient analysis capabilities; and a $97,720 total small business set-aside from the USDA Agricultural Research Service for a discrete analyzer system at the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment in Ames, Iowa. The vendor also supplies consumables, accessory components, and on-site installation and training services bundled with equipment deliveries.

Customer concentration is distributed across civilian research and environmental agencies. The top five customer organizations account for 45% of recent awards by count and 50% of combined potential value, led by the U.S. Geological Survey (18 awards, $845 thousand), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (16 awards, $646 thousand), the USDA Agricultural Research Service (32 awards combined across organizational units, $592 thousand), and the Bureau of Reclamation (9 awards, $221 thousand). The Environmental Protection Agency and the Defense Health Agency round out active customers, though with smaller award counts and values. No single customer dominates the portfolio, but the geological survey, NOAA, and USDA collectively anchor the revenue base.

Seal Analytical's awards sit outside traditional federal contract vehicles; the source identifies no GWAC, IDIQ, BPA, or GSA Schedule participation. Work flows through direct purchase orders issued by individual agencies and organizational units, reflecting the commodity nature of laboratory instrument procurement. The vendor competes under total small business set-asides in approximately 60% of recent awards by count and carries no current parent vehicles that would enable teaming as a subcontractor or bring government-wide scope expansion.

Activity has remained modest and variable. Over the past five years, the vendor earned six awards in 2022, nine in 2023, eight in 2024, three in 2025, and six in 2026 (through mid-September), for an annual average of 6.4 awards. Combined potential value across all 166 awards in the source data totals $4.6 million, with $4.4 million obligated (96% of ceiling). Five awards (combined potential value $240 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing a modest recompete pipeline. The vendor's work is concentrated in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, 88% of awards) and PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, 34% of awards), with secondary work in equipment repair and maintenance.
