Alcon Vision, LLC

Alcon Vision, LLC, doing business as Alcon, manufactures and supplies ophthalmic surgical equipment, intraocular lenses, pharmaceutical eye products, and maintenance services to federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor on a large, non-set-aside footprint. The company is a for-profit corporation headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, competing in full-and-open procurements across multiple customer agencies without reliance on small business or other SBA set-aside categories.

Alcon's federal work centers on three distinct capability streams. First, the company manufactures proprietary phacoemulsification and laser surgical systems—Constellation, Centurion, LenSx, and related platforms—and provides scheduled and emergency maintenance and repair services for these devices across VA medical centers and military treatment facilities. Second, Alcon manufactures and supplies intraocular lenses (IOLs), surgical implants, and specialized ophthalmic consumables such as phaco packs, surgical eye kits, and balanced salt solutions. Third, the company manufactures and distributes pharmaceutical eye products including Naphcon-A eye drops, Systane lubricants, Tetracaine solutions, Pataday, and related over-the-counter and prescription formulations. Representative work includes a $595.7 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 for laser service and maintenance through September 2028; a $63.8 million single-award IDC with VA Headquarters for next-generation surgical implant devices through January 2027; a $2.07 million purchase order from the Defense Health Agency for ophthalmology implants, supplies, and surgical equipment; and recurring delivery orders from the Medical Supply Chain (Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical) for pharmaceutical eye products valued in the hundreds to low thousands per order.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward VA networks and Defense Health Agency. The top five customers by award count account for 64 percent of all awards, but the top five by potential value account for 93 percent. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 dominates potential value at $1.84 billion (driven by a single large IDC), while Defense Health Agency carries 128 awards valued at $29.2 million and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical carries 128 awards valued at $3.8 million. The Defense Logistics Agency volume is driven by high-frequency, low-dollar pharmaceutical deliveries; the Defense Health Agency and Army Medical Command volumes span surgical equipment maintenance, supplies, and consumables. Alcon serves 33 distinct federal agencies, indicating broad penetration across VA regional networks, military treatment facilities, the National Eye Institute, and Indian Health Service.

Alcon holds a portfolio of IDIQs and blanket purchase agreements anchoring its federal work. The largest active vehicle is an indefinite delivery contract with VA VISN 9 (SPE2D021D0001) valued at $444.8 million for full-service laser maintenance through November 2028, against which three $87–441K delivery orders have been issued. Additional vehicles include single-award IDCs with VA VISN 4 ($1.28 million for Clarion Vivity IOL consignment through May 2030), VA VISN 6 ($308.4 thousand for surgical eye kits through December 2026), and a Defense Health Agency BPA ($1.25 million for surgical optical supplies through May 2030). Alcon also holds position on the GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies Schedule (FSS-65-II-A), from which 35 task orders valued at $7.7 million have been awarded across multiple VA networks and the Defense Health Agency. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders issued against these vehicles with periods of performance ranging from one to five years.

Work volume has declined from a peak of 88 awards in 2022 to 59 awarded in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting maturation of large consignment and indefinite delivery agreements reducing the frequency of discrete task order issuance. Awards are concentrated in maintenance and repair (NAICS 811210, 148 awards), medical and surgical instrument manufacturing (NAICS 339113, 113 awards), ophthalmic goods manufacturing (NAICS 339115, 80 awards), and pharmaceutical manufacturing (NAICS 325412, 128 awards). Twenty-five awards with combined potential value of $4.1 million reach completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Alcon performs as a prime contractor across all awards with no identified subcontractors, delivering goods and services directly to federal customers. The company manufactures core products at its Fort Worth headquarters and maintains service delivery capacity at VA and Defense Health Agency facilities nationwide.
