Starkey Laboratories Inc., headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, received a delivery order valued at $2.53 million from Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 19 under the VA National Hearing Aid Contract, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2026. This firm fixed-price delivery order, issued without a set-aside designation, represents a single monthly purchase order under Starkey's dominant $4.0 billion Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by VISN 19 in May 2025. The underlying IDIQ vehicle, which extends through April 30, 2030, was awarded as a sole-source procurement under Title 41 U.S.C. 3304 and designated as a GSA Best in Class procurement, reflecting market research findings that only the original manufacturer can perform repairs on proprietary Starkey hearing devices.

Starkey provides customized prescription hearing aids, wireless hearing systems, diagnostic instruments, hearing aid earmolds, and comprehensive repair services to support U.S. military personnel, veterans, and Indian Health Service beneficiaries. As an established large business without reliance on preferential procurement set-asides, Starkey operates as the prime contractor across all identified federal awards with no subcontractors involved. The company's monthly delivery orders under the VA National Hearing Aid Contract typically range from approximately $4.6 million to $8.4 million, collectively totaling tens of billions of dollars across the contracting period and establishing Starkey as the dominant federal contractor for hearing healthcare solutions across the Department of Veterans Affairs and Indian Health Service.
