Carestream Health, Inc.

Carestream Health, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of medical imaging equipment and healthcare IT solutions headquartered in Rochester, New York, operates as a prime contractor supplying digital radiography systems, computed radiography equipment, mobile x-ray units, medical imaging detectors, and preventive maintenance and repair services to federal healthcare and defense agencies. The company competes in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside restrictions across a broad customer base spanning the Department of Veterans Affairs, Defense Logistics Agency, Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services, and Indian Health Service.

Carestream's federal footprint centers on medical imaging hardware and services. Representative prime work includes delivery orders under the Defense Logistics Agency Medical Capital Equipment Program (a multi-award IDIQ) for digital radiography equipment consolidation at VA Medical Centers nationwide (examples: $706.3 million for administrative corrections and XR radiography station equipment at Baltimore VAMC, May 2026; $923.9 million for DRX preventive maintenance and repairs across New York VA campuses, May 2025; $974.1 million for DRX preventive maintenance at Atlanta VAMC through March 2028, June 2024). Carestream also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center valued at $2.5 million through August 2026 for computed radiography production supporting the Air Force's Non-Destructive Inspection program, with delivery orders issued between January and December 2024 totaling approximately $1.2 million. Additional work includes maintenance agreements with NIH Clinical Center for Lux35 glassless wireless detectors ($57.8 thousand, September 2026), a mobile digital radiographic unit lease to Yosemite National Park through February 2028 ($281.4 thousand, February 2023), and sole-source purchases from CDC Pittsburgh for maintenance services ($141.9 thousand, July 2026).

Customer concentration is dominated by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical (332 awards, $883.6 million combined potential value) and Department of Veterans Affairs programs, which together anchor roughly 50% of combined potential value across the portfolio. The top five customer categories by award count represent 36% of all awards and include Indian Health Service (406 awards, $12.1 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (198 awards, $176.5 million), and National Acquisition Center (170 awards, $60.8 million). The split between award volume and dollar value—DLA Troop Support Medical and VA VISN 12 rank high on both counts—reflects sustained, high-value consolidation and equipment modernization work at VA facilities.

Carestream holds or participates in three primary vehicle types: the DLA Medical Capital Equipment Program (430 task orders, $113.8 million combined potential value), a large unrestricted IDIQ supporting medical imaging procurement across federal healthcare agencies; the X-ray Equipment and Supplies vehicle (1,203 task orders, $9.7 million), a high-volume, lower-value vehicle; and the single-award Air Force computed radiography IDIQ noted above. Carestream operates exclusively as a prime contractor across this portfolio (100% of 3,456 total awards), with negligible subcontractor footprint (one named sub-award for engineering services under EPSE III Robotics and Lasers, October 2023).

Activity has remained stable over the past five years (37 awards in 2022 to 41 in 2026), though dollar concentration has shifted. Forty-four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $13.9 million, representing moderate recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal federal services above the $150,000 threshold—$109 thousand invoiced in FY2024 across 0.1 FTEs—indicating Carestream's federal footprint is driven by goods procurement (equipment sales and spare parts) rather than services delivery. Government-paid hourly rates across SCI-reportable service work average $1.08 thousand per hour. The vendor operates without subcontractor reliance, delivering imaging systems and maintenance directly from its Rochester headquarters.

Carestream's primary capability alignment is diagnostic imaging hardware and original-equipment-manufacturer maintenance for VA and DoD healthcare infrastructure. The company's federal positioning reflects original-equipment status (sole-source justifications recur throughout the award history for proprietary DRX systems maintenance) and long-term consolidation partnerships with the VA system, anchoring sustained order flow despite modest year-over-year award volume growth.
