About the company
Actus Manufacturing Inc., doing business as John A. Nicholson, manufactures adaptive equipment and specialized mobility devices for veterans as a prime contractor to the Department of Veterans Affairs, competing on firm fixed-price purchase orders with no set-aside designation across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks. Headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, Actus is a for-profit manufacturer of goods with eighteen federal awards totaling $545 thousand in combined potential value and $606 thousand in obligated dollars across recent activity.
Actus specializes in prosthetic products, adaptive vehicles (including VERTACAT adaptive mobility devices), adaptive sports equipment, and specialized golf carts designed for veterans with disabilities. Representative recent awards include a $30,050 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 for prosthetic equipment (July 2026, completion December 2026), a $29,550 purchase order from VISN 8 for an adaptive golf cart (April 2026, completion May 2027), a $29,500 purchase order from VISN 23 for VERTACAT adaptive equipment (July 2026, completion August 2026), and a $25,650 purchase order from VISN 23 for VertaCat stand-up golf carts for the National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic (May 2025, completion August 2025).
Customer concentration sits with the Department of Veterans Affairs, which dominates both award count and dollars. VISN 23 leads by volume (two awards, $55 thousand combined potential value), while the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region anchors the potential-value ranking with a single $84 thousand award. Across thirteen distinct customer agencies, the top five by potential value account for 43% of combined potential value, reflecting a fragmented federal footprint outside the VA system. Actus holds a seat on the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5822P, under which five task orders carry $176 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor's work splits across Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing and Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing under NAICS, with primary PSC activity in Medical and Surgical Instruments and Equipment and Supplies.
Award activity shows recent acceleration — two awards in 2006–2008, then sparse activity until three awards in 2025 and four in 2026 — suggesting renewed engagement with VA procurement systems. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $60 thousand). Actus operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data and competes in full-and-open procurement without recourse to set-aside vehicles, except for one Total Small Business set-aside purchase order in May 2025.
