About the company
World Courier Inc., a subsidiary of Cencora, Inc., provides temperature-controlled and specialized courier services for biological samples, pharmaceuticals, live animals, and regulated research materials to federal health and science agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designation. The company is based in New Hyde Park, New York and operates under NAICS 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), with a portfolio of 109 federal awards spanning more than two decades and concentrated entirely in life-sciences and public-health logistics.
World Courier's customer base centers on HHS agencies involved in disease surveillance, biomedical research, and public health operations. The top five funding agencies account for 43% of awards by count but 77% of combined potential value, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (14 awards, $535 thousand combined potential value), CDC's Office of Acquisition Services (12 awards, $160 thousand), the Army Medical Command (2 awards, $64 thousand), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (7 awards, $59 thousand), and the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (9 awards, $58 thousand). Recent representative work includes a $121.7 thousand CDC Pittsburgh purchase order for specialized courier services transporting temperature-sensitive and regulated items including live animals and human tissue samples (ultimate completion September 2024); a $99.2 thousand CDC Pittsburgh contract for shipping environmental water and stool samples from Haiti to the CDC's polio laboratory in Atlanta on dry ice (completion September 2023); and a $30.1 thousand NIAID purchase order for shipment of live animals and human blood and tissue samples from Mali to the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana (completion July 2023). Recent 2025–2026 work includes $16.1 thousand FDA biospecimen shipment courier services (completion August 2027), a $7.0 thousand Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery purchase order for frozen sample courier services in San Diego (completion December 2025), and an $8.97 thousand Defense Health Agency order for tick delivery to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (completion March 2025).
Activity has declined from a baseline of two to four awards per year in 2022–2024 to one award in 2026, though the total award portfolio spans 109 purchase orders since 2004. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $16 thousand), indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. World Courier operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the Service Contract Inventory dataset captures one record in FY2024 as a named subcontractor with 17.5 reported FTEs, reflecting that most of World Courier's federal activity falls below the $150 thousand SCI reporting threshold and consists of small-dollar, short-duration purchase orders for specialized logistics services. Combined potential value across all 109 awards stands at $1.1 million, with $1 million obligated to date. The vendor's parent, Cencora, Inc. (formerly AmerisourceBergen), is a diversified pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics company; World Courier operates as a dedicated subsidiary focused on regulated sample transportation for federal research and public health missions.
