Purchase Order 36C26226P0657

O & P Research Lab Inc., operating as Fikes Brace & Limb, was awarded a $19,954.78 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VISN 22) on March 16, 2026, for the design, fabrication, and delivery of prosthetic devices and artificial limbs. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by June 26, 2026, with performance to be conducted at the contractor's facility in Mesa, Arizona. VISN 22, a civilian component of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs serving the Southwestern United States, awarded this contract directly to the prime contractor without major subcontracting arrangements, reflecting the agency's recognition of Fikes Brace & Limb's specialized capability in custom prosthetic solutions.

This award represents the continuation of an established procurement relationship, as O & P Research Lab Inc. has been registered as a federal contractor since May 2011 and has received exclusive prime contract awards from VISN 22 since at least 2020. The company demonstrates comprehensive expertise across the full spectrum of prosthetic devices, including transfemoral and transtibial prostheses, upper extremity prosthetic limbs with microprocessor hands, and specialized prosthetic components such as replacement sockets and prosthetic feet. The contract's firm fixed-price structure and lack of set-aside designation indicate VISN 22's direct confidence in the contractor's ability to meet the specific prosthetic requirements of the veteran population served by the network.
