Carolina Ramp Solutions, LLC

Carolina Ramp Solutions, LLC, a Monroe, North Carolina-based for-profit limited liability company, manufactures and supplies accessibility equipment and mobility devices to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor operating exclusively on full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements. The vendor holds a $14 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (Patient Mobility Devices, FSS-65-II-F) awarded by the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 through March 2029, which anchors its federal footprint and generates the majority of its recent transacted dollars.

Carolina Ramp Solutions' capability portfolio centers on the design, manufacturing, and delivery of ramp systems, modular ramps, vertical platform lifts, stairlifts, curved stairglides, thresholds, handrails, and related accessibility hardware. All products are manufactured and delivered from the company's Monroe, North Carolina facility. Recent representative work includes a $41,312 delivery order (February 2024, VISN 6) for ramp systems, a $54,323 delivery order (May 2023, VISN 6) for a vertical platform lift, a $35,588 delivery order (September 2025, VISN 6) for a stairlift, and dozens of smaller purchase orders ranging from approximately $9,400 to $34,700 for ramps, stairlifts, and modular ramp assemblies issued directly by VISN 6 facilities across North and South Carolina.

Customer concentration is extreme and entirely focused on the Department of Veterans Affairs. The top three Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) account for 100% of awards: VISN 6 dominates by volume with 55 awards but carries only $938 thousand in combined potential value, while VISN 12 anchors the dollar concentration with just two awards worth $14.5 million combined. This disparity reflects Carolina Ramp Solutions' primary vehicle position — the $14 million FSS contract held under VISN 12 — which enables task orders from VISN 6 facilities. Nineteen task orders have been placed against the Patient Mobility Devices FSS vehicle, totaling $368 thousand in combined potential value. Outside the FSS, the vendor fulfills direct purchase orders from VISN 6 at the point of facility need, with no subcontractor involvement on any award.

Activity has grown substantially and recently contracted. The vendor recorded three awards in 2022, spiked to twenty in 2023, sustained nineteen in 2024, then declined to eleven in 2025 and four in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all fifty-eight awards stands at $15.5 million, with only $951 thousand obligated to date (6% utilization), reflecting the preponderance of small, individual facility orders. Two awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $34 thousand, indicating negligible near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontracted federal work. Carolina Ramp Solutions competes exclusively on full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation, reflecting its commercial standing and the nature of VA facility procurement — direct orders against an existing schedule contract do not require competitive bidding or set-aside status.
