Athena GTX Inc.

Athena GTX Inc., doing business as Athena GTX, manufactures medical devices and diagnostic equipment for the federal government as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing predominantly under full-and-open procurement rather than set-asides. The company, a for-profit corporation headquartered in Johnston, Iowa, specializes in patient vital sign monitors, blood pressure cuffs, electrode sets, and blood hose assemblies, with primary NAICS focus on Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (339112).

Athena GTX's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in defense and military medical supply. The top five funding agencies account for 93% of awards by count, dominated by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical (103 awards, $10.6 million combined potential value), which places frequent small purchase orders for vital sign monitoring and diagnostic equipment. The Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research ranks second by dollar value ($23 million across 13 awards) and anchors Athena GTX's higher-value development work. A $3.08 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded in February 2025 funds development of the Smart Automated Critical Care System (S-ACCS) for the United States Navy, with completion targeted for February 2027. Additional Navy work includes a prior $2.6 million research and development contract with the Defense Health Agency for tactical blood pressure monitor development. The Department of the Army Medical Command, United States Special Operations Command, and the U.S. Secret Service round out the active customer set, with Secret Service awards totaling $118 thousand across two purchase orders for vital sign monitors and Athena medical supplies.

Typical prime work consists of firm fixed-price purchase orders from DLA Troop Support Medical ranging from several hundred dollars to over $334 thousand; a representative $334.8 million order placed in December 2023 covered delivery of 60 units of patient vital monitors to Fort McCoy Army Reserve Center in Wisconsin. Smaller routine orders for blood pressure cuffs, electrode sets, and blood hose assemblies recur monthly. Athena GTX maintains two named parent vehicles: the DLA Medical Capital Equipment Program (30 task orders) and Special Operations Equipment Tailored Logistics Support (1 task order). Work is performed at the company's facility in Johnston, Iowa, with one noted contract performance location in Brooklyn, New York.

Activity has grown modestly over the past five years — 20 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023 — with a dip to 4 in 2024 followed by recovery to 10 in 2025 and 15 in 2026 through mid-July. Two awards carrying combined potential value of $5.7 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. Athena GTX serves as a subcontractor minimally; the source identifies one sub-award from Atlantic Diving Supply dated September 2024 for procurement of a Skydio X10D drone solution component. The company has held federal contractor registration since December 2003 and carries no identified SBA set-aside certifications in the source material.
