Center Span LLC

Center Span LLC, a woman-owned small business limited liability company headquartered in Deer Park, New York, manufactures and supplies mobility and accessibility equipment — primarily stairlifts in multiple configurations, vertical platform lifts, wheelchair ramps, and ceiling lifts — exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor. The company competes in the full-and-open federal marketplace without set-aside designations and is a subsidiary of Lifeway Mobility, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business.

Center Span operates almost entirely under a single GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract for Medical Equipment and Supplies (FSS-65-II-A), awarded November 15, 2022, with a $27.8 million ceiling extending through November 2027. The parent vehicle carries 450 task orders for $6.1 million in combined potential value across the portfolio, but Center Span's core activity flows through the Patient Mobility Devices Federal Supply Schedule (FSS-65-II-F), which accounts for 2,325 task orders and $24.1 million in combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $31,880 custom curve stairglide to VISN 1 (November 2025), a $27,594.85 vertical platform lift to VISN 4 (December 2025), and a $36,881 custom stair lift order from VISN 20 (April 2026). Individual delivery orders and purchase orders typically range from $10,000 to $32,000 and carry firm fixed-price terms with no set-aside protection.

Center Span's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for substantially all federal activity. Within the VA, Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 dominates by potential value, holding $114.4 million of the portfolio's combined value across 45 awards—these represent the parent FSS contracts themselves rather than direct operating awards. The five highest-volume operational VISNs (5, 6, 1, 10, and 2) account for 62% of awards by count but only a small fraction of total potential value. This divergence signals that VISN 12 manages the schedules under which other VISNs place routine task orders. The portfolio spans 20 distinct VA customer agencies, but activity is almost entirely within Veterans Health Administration regional networks.

Activity has remained substantial and stable. Center Span awarded 164 contracts in 2022, growing to 235 in 2024, then holding at 212 in 2025. The source shows 83 awards through early July 2026. Combined potential value across all 3,098 prime awards sits at $148.5 million, with $34.5 million obligated (23% of potential). Only 86 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $1.7 million—a low recompete cliff reflecting the recurring, continuous task-order nature of the FSS business model. The vendor self-performs all work without major subcontractors and maintains no subcontract footprint.

NAICS coding reflects equipment manufacturing: 3,025 awards are coded to Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (339113), with the remainder distributed across related manufacturing and wholesale categories. PSC coding is similarly specific: 2,977 awards fall under Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (6520). This product-focused categorization distinguishes Center Span from service integrators or consultancies—the company is a direct equipment supplier with minimal customization beyond order-specific configurations noted in delivery-order descriptions (curved, straight, 90-degree, custom installations).

Place of performance spans all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, with performance locations visible across New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Texas, and other regions depending on VA facility location. Pricing remains firm fixed-price across all task orders; the FSS price list carries published unit costs (Handicare stairlifts at $8,118–$9,401, overhead ceiling lifts at $3,310, residential vertical platform lifts at $5,895–$6,661) with standard 2% quantity discounts for orders of five or more units and Net 30 payment terms. Center Span accepts government purchase cards without limit and commits to 14-day delivery from order receipt. Products carry a 1-year service warranty plus 2-year manufacturer parts warranty, with 90-day returns accepted for full refund.
