Clarks Orthopedic & Medical, Inc.

Clarks Orthopedic & Medical, Inc., based in Great Falls, Montana, manufactures and supplies orthopedic transfer seats, prosthetic limbs, vehicle lifts, and related medical equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor under firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and competes in the open market without set-aside designations.

The vendor's federal footprint is highly concentrated and functionally narrow. Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (VA-VISN19) accounts for 53 awards worth $7.7 million combined potential value — representing 26% of all awards by count but 91% of combined potential value across the vendor's entire portfolio of 207 awards. The second customer, the Department of Veterans Affairs (non-VISN19), represents a single award. This extreme concentration reflects Clarks Orthopedic & Medical's operational model: a regional supplier of prosthetics and mobility equipment to a single VA health network. Recent award examples include a $15,435 vehicle lift purchase order (September 2026), a $15,695 Turnyseat orthopedic transfer seat (July 2026), a $15,387 Turney seat (June 2026), and a $13,787 Link transfer seat (July 2025), all performed in Great Falls with two-month performance windows.

The vendor's work distributes across medical equipment wholesale (142 awards under NAICS 423450 — Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), surgical appliance manufacturing (61 awards under NAICS 339113 — Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), and medical instrument manufacturing (2 awards). Primary PSC codes reflect prosthetics and medical equipment supply (97 awards under Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies PSC) and equipment maintenance and repair (87 awards under Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment — Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies PSC).

Activity has been episodic across the vendor's history — a single award in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and six in 2026 year to date. The combined potential value across all 207 awards is $8.5 million, with only $1.1 million obligated (13% of potential value), indicating a backlog of purchase orders not yet invoiced. One award with $15 thousand combined potential value completes within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint. Two VA-specific indefinite delivery contracts (VA259P0337 and VA259P0651) underpin task order issuance, with 9 and 6 task orders respectively generating $25 thousand and $80 thousand in combined potential value.
