Armstrong Medical Supply LLC

Armstrong Medical Supply LLC, a Houston-based veteran-owned small business (VOSB) and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), supplies patient mobility devices and medical equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor across multiple Federal Supply Schedule vehicles. The company operates exclusively as a prime, with no subcontract footprint, and competes predominantly under full-and-open (no-set-aside) designations on GSA schedules; VOSB and SDVOSB certifications are held but do not anchor the procurement posture.

Armstrong's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on VA medical equipment procurement. The vendor specializes in wheelchairs, rollators, walkers, Hoyer lifts, prosthetic devices, oxygen concentrators, and hospital beds—equipment categories standardized across VA medical centers. Representative prime work includes a $204.7 thousand delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VISN 6) awarded April 28, 2026, for drive rollators; a $139.2 thousand Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from VISN 6 (June 23, 2025) for rollators to support the Raeford Road VA Medical Center; and a $119.4 thousand BPA with VISN 6 (September 15, 2026) for knee walkers. The vendor also holds a $22 million Federal Supply Schedule contract under Medical Equipment and Supplies (FSS-65-II-A) awarded November 15, 2023, running through November 14, 2028, which carries an evergreen clause and enables direct federal ordering across all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.

Customer concentration is extreme. The top five VISN-level customers account for 84% of awards by count. Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 dominates ordering volume at 266 awards ($16.2 million combined potential value), but the dollar concentration is inverted: VISN 12 carries one award worth $354.5 million out of the company's combined potential value of $385.9 million (92% of portfolio dollars). This single large FSS-65-II-A contract to VISN 12 dwarfs the order-and-call activity that characterizes Armstrong's relationship with VISN 17 and other networks. The company has worked with 24 distinct federal agencies, though the vast majority of activity flows through VA healthcare networks; Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical represents 26 awards but only $137 thousand in combined potential value.

Armstrong places ordering activity against two parent vehicles. The Medical Equipment and Supplies (FSS-65-II-A) Federal Supply Schedule carries 280 task orders worth $24.4 million combined potential value, while the Patient Mobility Devices (FSS-65-II-F) schedule carries 59 task orders worth $4.7 million combined potential value. Both are GSA multi-award vehicles. Activity has declined sharply: 19 awards in 2022, declining to 6 in 2024 and 2 in 2025, with only 3 awards year-to-date in 2026. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months is minimal—only two awards ($324 thousand combined potential value) reach ultimate completion inside that window—leaving limited near-term recompete opportunity. Armstrong has no subcontract footprint and does not serve as a supplier to other federal contractors; all 470 awards in the source are prime contracts or direct orders against GSA schedules.

Armstrong's award portfolio spans surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (283 awards), surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing (114 awards), and medical supplies merchant wholesaling (28 awards), with work primarily categorized under PSC Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (460 awards). The vendor's federal footprint is operationally narrow—delivering standardized medical equipment into VA supply chains—and geographically concentrated in Houston, Texas, though FSS delivery commitments extend nationwide.
