Depuy Synthes Sales Inc.

Depuy Synthes Sales Inc., Depuy Synthes Spine Division, supplies orthopedic surgical implants, spinal fusion devices, surgical hardware, and related instrumentation to the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense healthcare systems as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside designations. A for-profit subsidiary of Depuy Spine, LLC (which is owned by Johnson & Johnson), Depuy Synthes Spine operates as a large medical-device manufacturer competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements and holding no SBA certifications.

Depuy Synthes Spine's federal work concentrates on Veterans Affairs facilities, dominated by small-dollar task orders and delivery orders for spinal implants, surgical screws, rods, interbody cages, bone grafts, surgical supplies, and disposables. Representative work includes a $1.3 million robotic-assisted spinal fusion system (Velys Robotic Spine System) delivered to Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 in April 2026; a $69.2 million instrument set delivery order from VISN 21 in August 2026; lumbar spinal implant orders valued at $50.6 million and $46.3 million from VISN 7 in June and July 2024; a $63.3 million prosthetic implant tools delivery order from VISN 19 in March 2024; and hundreds of routine surgical supplies and implant purchase orders ranging from $10 thousand to $25 thousand across VA regional networks. A single-award indefinite-delivery contract (36C10G24D0033) issued by VA Headquarters on December 1, 2023, carries a $67.2 million ceiling running through November 30, 2028, and anchors the majority of recent Depuy Synthes Spine task orders.

Customer concentration sits with Veterans Affairs regional networks, which account for 51% of awards. The top five VA VISNs (Veterans Integrated Service Networks 22, 7, 19, 8, and 10) placed 786 combined awards totaling $28.7 million in combined potential value. When measured by dollar volume, the Army Medical Command ($17.7 million, 51 awards), VISN 8 ($17.1 million, 152 awards), and Defense Health Agency ($14.9 million, 100 awards) dominate, together accounting for 24% of combined potential value. The portfolio shows a bifurcated customer profile: high-volume, small-order VA placements drive award count, while larger Army and DHA orders drive potential value.

Depuy Synthes Spine places work under two primary vehicle types. The VA Prosthetic Implants and Appliances 2016-2021 IDIQ generated 1,029 task orders valued at $18.3 million combined potential value and represents the largest vehicle footprint. The newer VA Headquarters indefinite-delivery contract (36C10G24D0033), valued at $67.2 million ceiling through November 2028, has generated only 8 task orders totaling $260 thousand in combined potential value to date but carries far higher individual order ceilings and product-line breadth (621 contract line item numbers across spinal fusion devices, orthopedic implants, screws, rods, cages, bone grafts, and surgical instruments). Three Army and Defense Health Agency blanket purchase agreements (HT001415A0015, HT001416A0026, and W91YU012A0011) account for an additional 107 task orders valued at $11.7 million combined potential value.

Activity has grown over the past five years — from 11 awards in 2022 to a peak of 24 in 2024 — though 2025 and 2026 award counts reflect the source's recency limit rather than decline. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $1.4 million combined potential value, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's 1,538 prime awards with zero subcontract relationships reflects Depuy Synthes Spine's positioning as a direct supplier to federal healthcare procurement offices rather than as an integrator or systems contractor. Depuy Synthes Spine's entire portfolio concentrates on NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies), with place of performance split across manufacturing hubs in Raynham, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and San Diego, California, and distributed fulfillment to VA and Military Health System facilities nationwide.
