Anthem Surgical Instrument Services

Anthem Surgical Instrument Services, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Canoga Park, California, delivers surgical instrument maintenance, repair, laser etching, cleaning, and sterilization services to federal healthcare customers as a prime contractor exclusively, with 100% of recent awards placed as direct contracts to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and the Indian Health Service. Anthem holds SBA certifications as both a SDVOSB and a veteran-owned small business, expiring March 11, 2029, and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business. The vendor competes across both set-aside and full-and-open procurements, with recent work split between SDVOSB set-asides, Total Small Business set-asides, and sole-source awards under FAR 13.106-1(b)(2).

Anthem's capability portfolio centers on sterile surgical instrument processing, maintenance, and repair; on-site and off-site laser barcode etching and engraving for unique device identification (UDI) and CensiTrac tracking; instrument sharpening; and sterilizer cleaning and decontamination. Representative awards include a $911,280 SDVOSB-set-aside definitive contract with VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10) for surgical instrument maintenance at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, running through July 2027; a $381,000 SDVOSB-set-aside purchase order from VISN 9 for laser etching services; a $477,816 veteran-owned small business set-aside definitive contract with VISN 10 for sterile instrument processing, repair, and maintenance at Battle Creek and Wyoming VA Medical Centers through April 2027; a $345,000 SDVOSB-set-aside purchase order from VISN 21 for surgical instrument etching services on up to 40,000 instruments; and a $212,800 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from the Air Force Test Center for surgical instrument laser barcode etching and data entry at Eglin Air Force Base. Recent work also includes a $179,788 sole-source definitive contract awarded May 1, 2026, by VISN 10 for tag removal and laser etching services for nursing departments at the Roudebush VA Medical Center.

The Department of Veterans Affairs dominates Anthem's customer footprint, accounting for 11 of 15 total awards (73% coverage by award count). VISN 10 is the single largest customer by dollar value, with three awards totaling $1.6 million combined potential value; VISN 4 places five orders totaling $203,000. The top five customers by potential value represent 93% of combined value, with VISN 9 ($381,000), VISN 21 ($345,000), and the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center ($213,000) rounding out the major set. Anthem also holds awards from the Indian Health Service and from other VA service networks. The vendor operates four task orders totaling $53,000 under Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C24421D0023, though the parent vehicle type is not specified in the source. Activity contracted over the past five years, from four awards in 2022 to one in 2024 and one in 2025, with three awards (combined potential value $1.6 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete exposure.

Across NAICS coding, Anthem's work concentrates under "Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance" (10 awards) and "Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing" (2 awards), with secondary classification under metal coating, engraving, and allied services. By PSC, eight awards fall under maintenance and repair of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies, with four under medical and surgical instruments and equipment. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totals $180,000 in FY2024, covering roughly 0.2 FTEs on a single contract; SCI data spans FY2022 through FY2024 with no invoiced revenue recorded in FY2022 or FY2023, indicating Anthem's SCI footprint is minimal and concentrated on a small subset of qualifying contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work ran at $467.90 per hour (10th, median, and 90th percentile all equal), reflecting a narrow, single-contract rate posture. Anthem delivers all work using internal staff with zero subcontractor engagement across its recent award footprint.
