Active Brace & Limb LLC

Active Brace & Limb LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Traverse City, Michigan, manufactures and supplies prosthetic limbs, orthotic braces, and related medical devices to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor operating under full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The company holds two blanket purchase agreements with the VA: a $15 million single-award BPA with the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin for artificial limbs and prosthetic feet (running through July 2032) and a $7 million multiple-award BPA with Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 for orthotic appliances and related services (through July 2026). Active Brace & Limb operates exclusively as a prime contractor — 100% of its 96 recent federal awards are prime positions with no subcontractor footprint.

The company's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of Veterans Affairs, with 97% of awards (88 prime contracts) drawn from VISN 10 serving the Midwest region covering Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, and 5 awards from the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin. VISN 10 and the Technology Acquisition Center together account for the full combined potential value of $39.4 million across all awards. The company's capability portfolio centers on below-knee and above-knee prostheses, specialized prosthetic components including Ossur Pro-Flex feet, and orthotic devices such as custom braces; recent representative work includes a $297 thousand delivery of artificial limbs under the Technology Acquisition Center BPA (July 2024), a $229 thousand orthotic appliances call under the VISN 10 BPA (September 2024), and a $25 thousand prosthetic limb delivery to VISN 10 (January 2025). All work is performed at the company's Traverse City facility.

Activity has been uneven in recent years — nine awards in 2022, declining to three in 2024, then rebounding to eight in 2025 with two in 2026 to date — and recompete exposure is minimal, with only $34 thousand in combined potential value across awards completing within the next twenty-four months. The company's award footprint is concentrated under two parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract VA25114D0009 supporting 40 task orders with $847 thousand combined value and BPA 36C25022A0048 supporting 19 task orders with $762 thousand combined value. Only $2.8 million of the $39.4 million combined potential value has been obligated across all awards, reflecting the structure of the BPA vehicles which establish blanket terms for task orders issued on an as-needed basis. NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) dominates the classification across 84 awards, with PSC Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies covering 92 awards.

Active Brace and Limb was founded in 2001 with a simple philosophy, provide patients with the highest quality and most compassionate care to help them reach their maximum potential. Twenty years later, Active Brace and Limb continues to offer Northern Michigan residents the best orthotic, prosthetic, and mastectomy care available.
