Bruno Independent Living Aids Inc.

Bruno Independent Living Aids Inc., a veteran-founded, family-owned manufacturer of mobility and assistive technology equipment, competes as a prime contractor exclusively on full-and-open federal procurements, delivering stairlifts, vertical platform lifts, scooter lifts, and prosthetic mobility devices to the Department of Veterans Affairs through a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement established in March 2024.

Bruno is headquartered in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, and operates as a for-profit corporation classified under primary NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC B307 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). The company holds no SBA set-aside certifications and competes in unrestricted federal procurement, as evidenced by its 100% prime contracting footprint across 7,487 recent awards spanning from 1992 to July 2026.

The company's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely on the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, which represents all distinct customer agencies in the award portfolio. The top five Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) by award count—VISN 1, VISN 4, VISN 20, VISN 23, and VISN 5—account for roughly 50% of the award count. By combined potential value, however, VISN 12 dominates with $334.8 million across 375 awards, while the remaining concentration disperses across other regional networks. This split signals that Bruno receives many small delivery orders from high-volume customer networks but anchors its dollar value to a single large VISN partner. Individual delivery orders and purchase orders typically range from approximately $10,000 to $50,000, with firm fixed pricing and completion timelines spanning several months.

Bruno places task orders under two primary GSA Federal Supply Schedule vehicles: Medical Equipment and Supplies (FSS-65-II-A), which carries 5,814 task orders valued at $58 million in combined potential value, and Patient Mobility Devices (FSS-65-II-F), which carries 590 task orders valued at $5.3 million. The Medical Equipment and Supplies schedule serves as the dominant vehicle for procurement across the VA's 23 Veterans Integrated Service Networks. Additional parent vehicles include three indefinite delivery contracts and two federal supply schedules that collectively account for fewer than 400 task orders.

Activity has grown incrementally over the past five years—265 awards in 2022 to 339 in 2024—before declining to 301 in 2025 and 81 awards year-to-date in 2026 (through mid-July), reflecting the typical seasonal pattern of federal ordering within the VA system. Eighty awards carrying combined potential value of $1.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure for Bruno and opportunity for competitors.

Bruno's recent award history shows consistent performance across multiple VISNs. Representative delivery orders include a $67,031.93 order from VISN 6 for vertical platform lifts and stairlifts (February 2026), a $50,326.59 order from VISN 1 for stairglides (September 2025), a $42,623.37 order from VISN 6 for stairglide and vertical platform lift equipment (July 2025), and a $53,106.13 delivery order from VISN 17 for EXPRESS REPORT CRE-2150 stairlifts (September 2025). Orders span multiple performance locations across the continental United States and include both standard catalog items and custom curved or rail configurations. Bruno serves as the prime contractor on all awards with no subcontractor involvement and manufactures equipment directly at its Wisconsin headquarters.

Bruno designs, manufactures and distributes scooter/powerchair lifts for vehicles, accessible vehicle seats, indoor and outdoor stairlifts,and vertical platform lifts.
