Veterans Integrated Service Network 6

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VHA VISN 6) is the Veterans Affairs sub-agency operating the veteran healthcare system for the southeastern United States, procuring medical equipment maintenance, facility services, clinical support, and related supplies across its network of VA Medical Centers in Virginia, North Carolina, and surrounding regions.

VHA VISN 6 executes a large federal contract portfolio with 109,742 total awards since 2001 and combined potential value of $12.22 billion, of which $10.57 billion has been obligated. Recent award activity shows 2,947 contracts in 2022, 2,953 in 2023, 3,068 in 2024, 2,540 in 2025, and 1,508 year-to-date in 2026. The portfolio spans 8,299 distinct prime contractors.

Competitive concentration among prime contractors over the last five years is highly fragmented. The top five by award count—101 Mobility LLC (312 awards, $8.4 million combined potential value), Permobil Inc. (304 awards, $19.9 million), and T & T Technology Inc. (187 awards, $6.6 million)—account for only 8 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value, Commonwealth Home Health Care, Inc. leads with 129 awards and $57 million, followed by SDV Office Systems LLC with 87 awards and $25.2 million; these top five by value represent just 1 percent of combined potential value, indicating that dollar-significant work is dispersed across numerous smaller suppliers or transacted through Schedule task orders and BPA calls with unreported values.

The set-aside mix is heavily weighted toward open competitive procurements: 89 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) awards account for 5 percent of the portfolio (5,003 awards) plus an additional 1 percent as SDVOSB sole-source awards (642 awards). Total small-business set-asides represent 5 percent of awards. The remaining set-asides—8(a), HUBZone, woman-owned small business, veteran-owned small business, and emerging small business—individually represent less than 1 percent each.

Representative recent opportunities span medical equipment maintenance, facility infrastructure, and clinical services.
