Bayou Orthotic & Prosthetic Center LLC

Bayou Orthotic & Prosthetic Center LLC, a for-profit subchapter S corporation based in Metairie, Louisiana, manufactures and delivers prosthetic limbs, artificial limbs, sockets, suspensions, and related prosthetic components to federal healthcare customers as a prime contractor competing in open market (100% of recent awards carry no set-aside designation). The company has maintained continuous federal contractor registration since November 2003 and operates exclusively as a prime, with no subcontract footprint.

Bayou's customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration accounts for 41 of 54 total awards and $844 thousand of the $947 thousand combined potential value across the portfolio. Within the VA system, Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (covering Louisiana and Mississippi) dominates with 33 awards valued at $755 thousand. The remaining VA presence spreads across VISN 12 (7 awards, $75 thousand) and VISN 17 (1 award, $14 thousand). A marginal presence exists with the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration National Hansen's Disease Program Clinical Research Center (2 awards, $9 thousand). The VA relationship spans two decades of consistent purchase-order activity for prosthetic device supply. Recent representative contracts include a $83,105.77 firm fixed-price purchase order from VISN 16 awarded April 1, 2026, for prosthetic devices with completion by October 1, 2026; a $34,274.51 order from VISN 16 awarded November 18, 2024, for prosthetic limbs; and a $47,832.50 order from VISN 16 awarded May 18, 2023, for prosthetic limbs completing November 20, 2023.

Award activity has declined materially over the past five years (one award in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, one in 2026), though the source does not characterize whether this reflects contractor capacity, VA procurement patterns, or other factors. One award with $83 thousand combined potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. The vendor operates under primary NAICS codes 339112 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and 424210 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), with PSC coding concentrated in Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies.
