ALERE SAN DIEGO, INC.

Alere San Diego, Inc. specializes in the manufacturing of in-vitro diagnostic reagent kits and analytical laboratory instruments used for forensic and clinical drug testing. The company produces targeted immunoassay kits for controlled substances such as 6-acetylmorphine (6-AM), oxycodone, and oxymorphone, supporting U.S. military and federal laboratory needs with high-specificity, urine-based screening solutions. Their technical expertise lies in the formulation, validation, and scalable production of qualitative diagnostic reagents compatible with automated toxicology platforms, ensuring compliance with standardized forensic testing protocols. A key differentiator is their consistent delivery of catalog-numbered, traceable reagent kits under strict chain-of-custody and quality control frameworks, enabling reliable detection in high-volume drug screening environments. The contractor maintains a primary relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying critical diagnostic materials to military medical laboratories across multiple installations, including Tripler Army Medical Center and Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center. These engagements reflect a sustained, operational partnership focused on sustaining the DoD’s substance abuse monitoring programs with timely, mission-critical consumables. Alere San Diego operates within the core NAICS categories of in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing and analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, positioning itself as a niche supplier to forensic toxicology and military health sectors. Their market focus is narrow but deeply specialized, serving government labs requiring validated, FDA-cleared or laboratory-developed test kits for controlled substance detection. As a small business entity structured as a 2L, Alere San Diego is based in Pomona, California, with no formal government certifications on record. Despite this, its consistent performance on DoD delivery orders demonstrates reliable capacity to meet stringent federal supply chain requirements for diagnostic materials in regulated environments.
