DLA MSC Patient Monitoring

Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical awarded this Master IDIQ on March 29, 2019, to establish a multiple-award vehicle for patient monitoring systems, pharmacy automation, anesthesia and anesthesia monitoring equipment, infant care and critical care systems, and related maintenance and training services for customers in the United States and worldwide. Ordering authority extends through July 16, 2034—nearly eight years of remaining purchase potential.

The vehicle is fully unrestricted; no set-aside designations apply. It carries a combined shared ceiling of $450 million across all awardees. To date, 139 task orders have been awarded against the vehicle, with $271.3 million in combined potential value obligated—60% of the ceiling fully spent. Ordering has remained active with recent momentum: the portfolio shows 17 awards in 2025 and 7 in 2026 year-to-date (as of February 2026). The vehicle replaced a predecessor Patient Monitoring and Capital Equipment program and continues that lineage under DLA's long-term strategy for defense medical supply chains.

Competition is concentrated among a small number of established medical-device primes. Philips North America LLC dominates by both order count and value, holding 39 awards worth $131 million in combined potential value. Karl Storz Endoscopy-America Inc. follows with 35 orders totaling $65.2 million, and Hamilton Medical, Inc. holds 18 orders at $44.9 million. Together, these three firms capture the vast majority of activity by value; Zoll Medical Corporation and GE Medical Systems Information Technologies round out the top five. The wider field includes three additional small-business firms that together account for less than 6% of task orders.

Demand is heavily concentrated in DLA Troop Support Medical's own requirements, which account for 121 of the 139 task orders and $263 million of the $271.3 million obligated. The remaining customer agencies—Health and Human Services, Homeland Security Coast Guard, State Department, and Veterans Affairs—place only 18 orders combined, mostly in the low millions. Task-order values range from under $100 thousand for consumables and spare parts to mega-orders exceeding $22 million for patient monitoring system platforms. Recent orders (January–February 2026) show typical values between $1 million and $10 million for integrated operating room systems, surgical lights and booms, endoscopy equipment, and monitoring upgrades. Delivery durations typically span 12 to 24 months, with some platform upgrades extending 18–36 months. Pricing is predominantly firm fixed price, with occasional economic price adjustment clauses on longer-duration orders. Scope is heavily weighted toward integrated operating room systems, patient monitoring platforms, and surgical capital equipment; ventilator orders were prominent during the COVID-19 period but now represent a smaller share of ongoing activity.

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical Supply Chain (DLA) has awarded a Master IDIQ for the acquisition and management of patient monitoring Pharmacy Automation, Anesthesia and Anesthesia Monitoring Systems, Infant Care and Critical Care equipment, systems, subsystems, and components along with maintenance services, training, and incidental services related to the supply of the equipment for customers located in the United States and worldwide.
