Medical Surgical Prime Vendor Next Generation (MSPV NG)

The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a Master IDIQ for medical and surgical supplies to support VA medical centers and authorized federal agencies, with ordering closed on November 30, 2021. The vehicle is no longer active; the last task order was issued on January 26, 2024, more than two years ago, and the ordering period has been closed for approximately four and a half years.

The scope covers routine procurement of medical and surgical supplies, operating room supplies, lab supplies, and related items for VA facilities, federal prison medical programs, and tribal healthcare providers through the National Supply Service Center. Task orders range from under one thousand dollars to several million dollars, with firm fixed pricing throughout.

Four prime contractors hold all awards: Medline Industries, LP leads by order count with 211 orders valued at $438.6 million combined potential, followed by American Purchasing Services, LLC with 35 orders valued at $525.2 million; Kreisers, LLC with 30 orders valued at $440.2 million; and Cardinal Health 200, LLC with 31 orders valued at $303.6 million combined potential. The distribution of work is heavily concentrated, with Medline alone representing 69 percent of all task orders.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Headquarters dominates customer demand, placing 118 of the 307 task orders (38 percent) and accounting for $1.64 billion of the $1.71 billion combined potential value (96 percent). The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service placed 95 orders totaling $50 million; the remainder distributed across Bureau of Prisons facilities and other agencies.

All 307 task orders are unrestricted (no set-aside designation). The combined task-order potential value of $1.71 billion has been fully obligated. Order activity peaked in 2019 and 2020 (103 and 57 orders respectively) but declined sharply after the vehicle's ordering deadline, dropping to single digits in 2021 and 2022 before largely ceasing. The vehicle is suitable only for tracking legacy spend patterns or understanding historical supplier performance; new procurement opportunities under MSPV-NG are not available.

The Office of Procurement Acquisition and Logistics Strategic Acquisition Center in partnership with Veterans Health Administration has awarded a Master IDIQ for the Medical Surgical Prime Vendor Next Generation Program (MSPV-NG). The program is mandatory for all VA medical centers which bolsters VA's ability to deliver timely health care to our Nation's Veterans.
