Airborne Medical Depot, LLC

Airborne Medical Depot, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Oro Valley, Arizona, supplies medical devices, surgical implants, prosthetics, and orthopedic equipment to federal healthcare systems as a prime contractor under indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders, with 100% of recent awards as prime work.

The company holds dual SBA certifications as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business, both expiring November 13, 2026. As a for-profit limited liability company, Airborne Medical Depot competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its foundational IDCs, though individual delivery orders often carry no set-aside designation, reflecting its competitive standing in the open market. The vendor's award portfolio spans 778 federal awards with combined potential value of $148.1 million, with core activity concentrated in NAICS 425411 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment Merchant Wholesalers) and PSC 6515 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies).

Airborne Medical Depot's customer concentration is heavily dominated by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical, which accounts for 527 awards (68% of volume) carrying $142.9 million in combined potential value—representing 96% of the vendor's total potential value. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration accounts for 177 awards across multiple regional networks (VISNs 16, 17, 21) with $3.3 million combined value. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, Defense Health Agency, and Department of Veterans Affairs account for the remaining tracked volume. This concentration is deliberate: Airborne Medical Depot's strategic footprint sits almost entirely within medical supply procurement for military healthcare systems and veterans' facilities.

The vendor's vehicle position centers on two primary $40 million indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs SPE2DE20D7001 and SPE2DE25DA009) awarded by DLA Troop Support Medical on July 2, 2025, through July 1, 2030, both set aside for small businesses and operating through the DLA Electronic Catalog (ECAT) program. These two vehicles alone anchor 513 task orders (66% of recent awards) generating $9.4 million in combined potential value. A third IDC (SPE2DE25DA008) with 25 task orders carries $557 thousand. Delivery orders under these vehicles are issued on fixed-price with economic price adjustment terms with completion dates typically measured in days to weeks, reflecting the transactional nature of medical supply procurement. Named products include ProDisc spinal implants, Acustrip demineralized bone matrix strips, anterior cervical interbody devices, and MIS retractor instruments.

Activity has declined year over year—from 159 awards in 2023 to 69 in 2026 through mid-April—indicating either market contraction, internal recompete cycles, or a shift in sourcing patterns. The recompete cliff is material: the two foundational $40 million IDCs both complete July 1, 2030, representing the vendor's most significant contract exposure and a renewal opportunity approximately four years forward. Most individual delivery orders carry short completion windows (often within 5–30 days of award), creating a high-velocity transaction stream that masks the underlying stability of the two large master contracts.

Airborne Medical Depot operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the award history. All work is performed at the vendor's Oro Valley, Arizona facility. The company's specialization in medical devices and surgical implants for federal healthcare—particularly spinal fusion components, cervical surgical devices, and orthopedic products—makes it a critical vendor for military treatment facility supply chains and VA healthcare networks, but its narrow customer and product concentration creates both stability (as the incumbent on large DLA ECAT vehicles) and vulnerability (recompete risk on two contracts carrying $80 million ceiling value).
