Applied Medical Distribution Corporation

Applied Medical Distribution Corporation, doing business as Applied Medical Distribution, is a for-profit manufacturer and distributor of laparoscopic surgical instruments and medical supplies that competes as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal medical procurement, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The company, headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, is registered in SAM.gov as a manufacturer of goods and has held federal contract relationships since at least 1992.

Applied Medical Distribution's concrete capability portfolio centers on the manufacture and distribution of laparoscopic surgical instruments — trocars, clip appliers, retrieval bags, insufflation needles, retractors, and related operating-room surgical consumables — and central sterile supply fulfillment for federal healthcare facilities. Representative recent work includes a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $831,100 running April 2025 through April 2030 with the Indian Health Service to supply laparoscopic cholecystectomy instruments and related supplies to the Phoenix Indian Medical Center; a $166,220 BPA call (June 2026) under that parent agreement for laparoscopic surgical supplies to Phoenix Indian Medical Center; and a $652,669 FY23 purchase order to supply medical supplies and equipment to the Indian Health Service Gallup, New Mexico facility through May 2028.

Customer concentration is extreme and healthcare-agency driven. The Defense Health Agency anchors 80% of the vendor's combined potential value across its recent award portfolio ($7 million of $13.1 million total), but placed only three awards; the Indian Health Service, by contrast, represents 62 awards but only $3.1 million in combined potential value — a high-volume, lower-dollar-per-award customer base. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical complete the top-five customer set. Eighteen distinct federal agencies have issued awards to the vendor over the source coverage period. The vendor operates primarily under purchase orders and BPA calls rather than large IDVs; named parent vehicles include a Federal Supply Schedule (V797P3464J, six task orders) and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0025994A0862, three task orders).

Activity trajectory shows minimal federal procurement velocity in recent years — one award in 2022, three in 2023, two each in 2024 and 2025, and one in 2026 — despite a historical award count of 3,310 dating to 1992. The portfolio carries 36% dollars obligated against potential value ($4.7 million obligated of $13.1 million ceiling), and two awards totaling $819 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract activity captured in the source. Award concentration by product category aligns tightly with the capability footprint: 125 awards under Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing NAICS, 49 under Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers, and 3,154 of the total 3,310 awards classified under the PSC Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies.
