Chad Edward Mason

Chad Edward Mason, doing business as Amarillo Artificial Limb & Brace CO., manufactures and delivers prosthetic and orthotic devices to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a sole proprietor competing without set-aside designations. The Amarillo, Texas-based manufacturer has accumulated over $7.2 million in combined potential value across 185 prime federal purchase orders since 2001, with $4.1 million obligated to date.

The vendor's federal footprint is almost entirely concentrated within the Veterans Health Administration. VISN 17 (Veterans Integrated Service Network 17) accounts for 169 awards valued at $4 million combined potential value — 91% of all awards by count and 55% of combined potential value. VISN 22 (Veterans Integrated Service Network 22) provides secondary volume with 6 awards valued at $3.1 million, while the parent Department of Veterans Affairs holds 8 additional awards. This concentration in a single customer network reflects a fifteen-year-plus established supplier relationship with the VA's Texas-serving regional healthcare system.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on fabrication and delivery of lower-extremity prostheses, above-knee and below-knee prosthetics, transfemoral and transtibial prosthetic devices, socket replacements, and advanced prosthetic systems including Genium X3 models. Work includes express reporting services to support veterans' medical rehabilitation outcomes. Representative recent awards from VISN 17 include an $84.7 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order in October 2024 for a Genium X3 prosthesis with express reporting, a $63.4 thousand order in August 2024 for Genium X3 delivery and express reporting, and a $51.3 thousand order in August 2024 for above-knee and below-knee prostheses with express reporting services. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with no subcontractor involvement.

The vendor sits on a Blanket Purchase Agreement vehicle (VA25814A0016) under which 50 task orders have been placed, generating $833 thousand in combined potential value. Three indefinite delivery contracts supporting smaller order volumes round out the vehicle footprint. Activity has been consistent but modest in scale — six awards in 2022, nine in 2023, five in 2024, and nine in 2025 — with only two awards (combined potential value $34 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure near term.
