Tucker-Davis Technologies, Inc.

Tucker-Davis Technologies, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation manufacturer headquartered in Alachua, Florida, sells specialized neuroscience research instrumentation—fiber photometry systems, bioacoustic equipment, electrophysiology workstations, and behavioral testing platforms—exclusively as a prime contractor on federal purchase orders. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its recent award portfolio, though one award carried a Total Small Business set-aside designation in 2022.

Tucker-Davis operates across a highly fragmented customer base spanning 41 distinct federal agencies, with no single customer accounting for more than 26% of award volume. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) anchors the portfolio at 48 awards worth $1.5 million in combined potential value, driven by recurring purchases of fiber photometry workstations and accessories for bulk imaging of neuropeptides and neurotransmitters. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, distributed across five distinct Veterans Integrated Service Networks, accounts for 43 awards ($1.2 million combined potential value) for fiber photometry systems, auditory testing equipment, and electrophysiology components supporting preclinical rodent studies across VA medical centers. The National Institute on Aging, the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Diseases together represent the remainder of the NIH portfolio. This concentration pattern—47% of recent awards to the top five customer names covering only 56% of combined potential value—reflects a transactional model of small, episodic purchase orders rather than contract vehicle or task-order dominance.

Tucker-Davis sits on one identified parent vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract 541D20084, with one task order recorded in the source. The vendor's footprint is dominated by Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (103 purchase orders) and Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (28 purchase orders) across primary NAICS codes in Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (84 awards), Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (29 awards), and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (18 awards). Recent representative awards include a $31,015 Lux Fiber Photometry System for NIMH in September 2026, a $66,972 fiber photometry workstation for NIDA in September 2025, a $38,565 fiber photometry system for Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 in August 2024, and a $101,200 MRI-compatible neurophysiology system for Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 in November 2022. Award values cluster in the $11,600 to $38,600 range, with median awards substantially smaller than outliers, reflecting custom equipment builds rather than volume commodity supply.

Activity has remained flat to declining—nine awards in 2022 declining to eight in 2025 and two in 2026 year-to-date—with only two awards ($57 thousand combined potential value) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The source contains no subcontractor awards; Tucker-Davis operates solely as a prime contractor. The 185-award footprint spans a thirty-year history dating to 1996, with combined potential value of $4.9 million against obligated value of $5.3 million, indicating that actual federal spend has slightly exceeded the recorded ceiling values, characteristic of firm fixed-price purchase-order execution in the biomedical research instrumentation market.
