Tecniplast Usa, Inc.

Tecniplast Usa, Inc., doing business as Tecniplast, is a West Chester, Pennsylvania–headquartered manufacturer of specialized laboratory animal housing equipment, individually ventilated caging systems, automated cage washers, and related maintenance services that operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across federal biomedical research and animal-care agencies.

Tecniplast does not hold SBA small business, HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other set-aside certifications; the vendor competes in full-and-open procurement, though it has received several Total Small Business set-aside awards from agencies including the Defense Health Agency, Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration, and National Institutes of Health that were designated as such by the buying agencies rather than through vendor certification. The company manufactures goods and supplies equipment and maintenance services for federal animal research infrastructure.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily in the National Institutes of Health system and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The top five funding agencies account for 37% of recent awards by count and 61% by combined potential value. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences leads both metrics with 44 awards ($21.4 million combined potential value), anchored by a large indefinite delivery contract running through March 2026. Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (Department of Veterans Affairs) ranks second with 41 awards ($5.6 million), followed by the Army Medical Command (32 awards, $3.6 million), the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (31 awards, $1.1 million), and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (25 awards, $3.3 million). Across 462 total prime awards, Tecniplast serves 58 distinct federal customer agencies, reflecting broad penetration of NIH institutes, VA medical centers, and civilian research facilities across DHHS, USDA, EPA, DOI, and DoD.

Tecniplast's contract vehicles include large indefinite delivery contracts with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (HHSN273201400011I, 10 task orders, $6.4 million), indefinite delivery contract 75N96021D00004 (14 task orders, $861 thousand), and GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS07F145DA (2 task orders, $257 thousand). Most awards are direct purchase orders under full-and-open or set-aside solicitations rather than standing IDVs, reflecting the nature of specialized equipment procurement for biomedical research facilities.

Recent representative contracts include a $245.4 million animal rack and caging system from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (December 2025), a $486.4 million animal racks and cages order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (September 2025), a $446.8 thousand acquisition of individually ventilated caging and air handlers from the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (September 2025), and a $1.1 million upgrade to the Augusta Animal Lab facility from Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (October 2023). Equipment offerings span rodent, ferret, mink, primate, and aquatic species housing; preventive maintenance and emergency repair contracts cover Tecniplast's proprietary cage washers (Atlantis, Platinum, Easy Washer), bedding dispensers, and ventilated rack systems.

Activity has grown modestly over the past five years — 16 awards in 2022 to a peak of 25 in 2024 — with a recent slowdown to 13 awards in 2025 and 3 awards in the first half of 2026. Thirteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.7 million, representing moderate recompete exposure. The vendor is predominantly characterized by purchase orders and definitive contracts for equipment delivery and maintenance services; it holds a single federal contract sub-award (a $54.2 thousand IVC rack delivery to Battelle National Biodefense Institute under a National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center prime contract, April 2025), indicating minimal sub-contracting footprint and operation as a direct supplier to federal agencies rather than as a sub-tier provider.

Service Contract Inventory coverage is minimal — five SCI-reportable records spanning FY2022–FY2024 — reflecting the vendor's primary business model as a goods manufacturer and equipment supplier rather than a federal services contractor. SCI-reported invoiced amounts totaled $277 thousand across FY2022–FY2023 (no FY2024 SCI reports in the source), with median government-paid hourly rates around $1,057 per hour across the limited service engagement. The vendor reports 0.2 FTEs delivered to federal service contracts in FY2023 and shows no sub-engagement on SCI-reportable work, consistent with its direct-delivery equipment-supplier posture.
