Combat Medical Systems LLC

Combat Medical Systems LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Huntersville, North Carolina, manufactures and distributes tactical medical supplies and equipment as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) to the Defense Logistics Agency and other federal healthcare programs. The company operates as a limited liability corporation under NAICS 621991 (Blood and Organ Banks) and related categories in medical and surgical supplies manufacturing, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides.

Combat Medical Systems holds a dominant position with a single customer. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical division accounts for 15,121 awards and $347.5 million in combined potential value—99% of the company's recent award portfolio—with secondary customers (Department of the Army Medical Command, Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Defense Health Agency, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service) representing minimal volume by comparison. This concentration reflects Combat Medical Systems' role as a core supplier of Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs), Combat Life Saver (CLS) Aid Bags, fresh whole blood transfusion sets, oral rehydration solutions, burn treatment products, essential moulage kits, tactical burn dressings (TACWRAP), chest seals, hemorrhage control bandages, and related medical equipment supporting military medical readiness.

Combat Medical Systems sits on multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA. The parent IDC SPE2DE20D0003 carries 7,181 task orders ($26.8 million potential value) and runs through August 13, 2030. A prior IDC (SPE2D014D0001) generated 3,612 task orders ($22.2 million potential value). A newly awarded $48 million single-award IDC (SPE2DE, effective August 14, 2025, through August 13, 2030) designated as total small business set-aside expands the company's medical supply authority and authorizes firm-fixed-price delivery orders across Huntersville and Harrisburg, North Carolina. Most recent work includes a $105 thousand purchase order from Army Forces Command (April 2026) for perfusion supplies and human cadaver training at Fort Hood supporting the 1st Cavalry Division, a $43 thousand purchase order from U.S. Army Medical Command (March 2026) for perfused cadaver lab training services at Fort McCoy for the 1st Medical Brigade, and multiple DLA Medical Supply Chain delivery orders spanning February through April 2026 for IFAKs ($33.46 million and $122 thousand examples), CLS bags ($5.19 million example), and burn dressings ($684 thousand example for SAVEII+ ventilators).

Award activity declined sharply in recent years: 3,400 awards in 2022 to 314 awards in 2026 (year-to-date through April 2026). This trajectory reflects the maturation of delivery order volume under existing IDCs rather than loss of customer relationship. Combined obligated dollars total $160.3 million (38% of $424.7 million combined potential value across all 15,283 awards in the source data spanning 2009 to present), indicating active invoicing and performance against the deep DLA medical supply pipeline.

Combat Medical Systems operates with minimal subcontract exposure; the source records four sub-awards under Cardinal Health 200, LLC (January 2026) for gauze bandages, trauma bag reference cards, region-specific supplies, and IFAK refills, representing less than 1 percent of the award footprint. The company's business model centers on direct manufacture and distribution to DLA, avoiding prime-sub teaming arrangements.

The recompete horizon carries minimal risk: only one award ($192 thousand combined potential value) completes within the next twenty-four months, while the newly awarded $48 million SPE2DE IDC secures through August 2030. Combat Medical Systems' federal posture is entirely set-aside (total small business), with all recent prime task orders issued under small-business-set-aside authority. The vendor's capability scope is tightly aligned to tactical medical products—no diversification into services, IT, or non-medical equipment is present in the award record.
