PHYCOTECH, INC.

PHYCOTECH, INC. specializes in advanced aquatic microbiological analysis, with a focused expertise in phytoplankton and zooplankton identification, enumeration, and biovolume quantification for federal environmental monitoring programs. The company delivers precise, laboratory-based services using microscopy, flow cytometry, and image analysis techniques to support ecological assessments, water quality studies, and long-term monitoring initiatives. Their technical proficiency includes taxonomic classification of microalgae and zooplankton, sample preparation under standardized protocols, and data reporting aligned with USGS and EPA methodologies. A key differentiator is their consistent delivery of high-resolution biological data critical for assessing freshwater ecosystem health, particularly in large-scale riverine and lacustrine environments. The contractor maintains a deep, recurring relationship with the Department of the Interior, primarily supporting U.S. Geological Survey operations in aquatic science. Their work directly informs the Long-Term Resource Monitoring Program and other hydrologic studies, providing essential biological metrics that underpin environmental decision-making and regulatory compliance. The nature of their engagements suggests a trusted, mission-critical role in sustaining consistent, high-quality biological data streams for federal water science initiatives. PHYCOTECH’s primary industry focus lies in Testing Laboratories and Services (NAICS 541380), where they operate as a niche provider of biological water quality testing, complemented by environmental consulting services (NAICS 541620) for ecological assessments. They occupy a specialized position in the federal environmental services market, serving agencies requiring rigorous, repeatable planktonic analysis that supports ecological modeling and habitat evaluation. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Saint Joseph, Michigan, PHYCOTECH, INC. operates without federal certifications but maintains a focused, geographically anchored presence in the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest federal science market. Their operational model emphasizes technical precision, reproducibility, and direct support to federal water science programs.
