Alternative Prosthetic Services, Inc.

Alternative Prosthetic Services, Inc., doing business as Alternative Prosthetic Service, is a Bridgeport, Connecticut-based manufacturer of prosthetic limbs, orthotic devices, and related medical supplies that competes as a prime contractor in the open market (no set-aside designations) supplying the Defense Health Agency, Army Medical Command, Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The vendor holds a single-award BPA with the Defense Health Agency valued at $250,000 with a period of performance through September 12, 2027, and all 140 recent awards in the source are prime contracts, with no subcontract footprint.

The customer base is concentrated within military health systems and veteran care. The top three customers by count and dollar value are the Department of the Army Medical Command (71 awards, $8 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (19 awards, $8.3 million), and the Defense Health Agency (24 awards, $7.5 million), representing 95% of recent awards. The dollar ranking tracks the volume ranking closely — Navy and Army each anchor roughly $8 million, with DHA slightly lower at $7.5 million — with small tail activity routed through the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VISNs 2 and 5 combined: 19 awards, $121 thousand). Recent named work includes a $20,662 firm fixed-price BPA call from DHA for service and supply of orthopedic and prosthetic equipment (November 2025), a $10,777 call for orthopedic and surgical supplies (April 2025), and a $10,331 call for orthopedic and prosthetic supplies (April 2026), all performed at the vendor's Bridgeport facility with completion by September 2026 or 2027. Earlier work includes a $75,000 custom prosthetic medical supplies order (December 2021).

Capability framing centers on NAICS 334517 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) — 117 of 140 awards carry that code — with secondary work in surgical and medical instrument manufacturing and hospital equipment wholesaling. The vendor operates across PSC 6530 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies), accounting for 131 awards.

Activity has been flat to modest. The vendor recorded one award in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 year to date. Only three awards ($41 thousand combined potential value) reach completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete risk. Combined potential value across all 140 awards is $23.9 million with $2.4 million (10%) obligated to date. The vendor places the bulk of task orders through four named vehicles: an Army Indefinite Delivery Contract (W91YTZ10D0005) with 19 calls valued at $249 thousand, and three DHA and Navy BPAs (HT001417A0040, HT001422A0010, and W81K0018A0011) carrying 22 combined calls worth $761 thousand.
