PHENOTYPE SCREENING CORPORATION

PHENOTYPE SCREENING CORPORATION specializes in high-throughput phenotypic screening services for agricultural research and biological discovery, operating as a technical services provider in the life sciences domain. Their core expertise lies in designing and executing controlled laboratory assays to evaluate observable traits in biological specimens—particularly plant and microbial systems—enabling data-driven insights for genetic characterization, stress response analysis, and trait selection. The company applies precision measurement techniques, automated imaging, and quantitative phenotyping platforms to support functional genomics and crop improvement initiatives. Their technical differentiation stems from methodological rigor in environmental control, reproducible data acquisition, and integration of biological endpoints with analytical workflows, positioning them as a niche provider for applied biological research requiring empirical phenotypic validation. The contractor has delivered services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, supporting research initiatives focused on agricultural biosecurity, crop resilience, and trait discovery. Their work for this agency centers on laboratory-based screening of plant germplasm and microbial consortia to identify phenotypic markers linked to desirable agronomic traits, aligning with USDA’s mission in food security and sustainable agriculture. PHENOTYPE SCREENING CORPORATION operates under NAICS 541380, which reflects its role as a specialized testing laboratory providing outsourced biological assay services. Their market positioning is in the applied agricultural biotechnology sector, serving federal research programs that require validated, scalable phenotyping infrastructure beyond in-house capabilities. They do not hold federal certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or small business status, and are structured as a 2L entity, indicating a small, specialized operational footprint based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Their geographic presence is localized, with no indication of multi-state or international service delivery, and their government market engagement is narrowly focused on USDA-funded biological research programs.
