Distribution Systems International, Inc.

Distribution Systems International, Inc., doing business as D S I, is a Lake Forest, California–based small business manufacturer that supplies modular medical storage equipment, shelving systems, and organizational products to federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. DSI competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, though a portion of its work flows without set-aside designation; the company holds no subcontractor relationships and operates entirely as a prime vendor across its federal footprint.

DSI's capability portfolio centers on modular medical storage solutions—shelving, storage carts, workstations, mobile cabinets, and related organizational equipment designed for clinical and operational use in federal healthcare facilities. Representative work includes a $303,094.70 March 2026 purchase order from the General Services Administration for medical storage and organizational items to support VA facilities, a $245,472.46 May 2024 delivery order for shelving to VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 in Charleston, South Carolina, and a $119,423.00 August 2023 purchase order for sterile equipment to support VA medical operations in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The company manufactures over 200 cataloged products, including MODUMAX shelving systems, MODUCELL supply carts, SPS mobile cabinets, and Armstrong medical carts, with recent orders naming specific models such as a 71" double "A" glass door unit kit and on-track system rolling racks.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Veterans Affairs. The top five VA Veterans Integrated Service Networks by award count account for 50% of all awards and include Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (29 awards, $1.2 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (18 awards, $1.4 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (15 awards, $1 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (15 awards, $1.2 million). By dollar value, however, Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 dominates with 9 awards carrying $10.8 million in combined potential value—78% of all potential value flows to the top five customer entities. The Defense Health Agency and the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery account for secondary volume (11 awards, $1.2 million combined). DSI also serves 26 distinct customer agencies across recent awards, though the VA accounts for the vast majority of volume.

DSI's contracting vehicle footprint is anchored by the General Services Administration Medical Equipment and Supplies Schedule (FSS-65-II-A), a $4.149 million indefinite delivery vehicle extending through December 14, 2030, which carries 107 task orders representing $7.2 million in combined potential value. A secondary vehicle—Federal Supply Schedule V797P4602A—carries 23 task orders worth $588 thousand. All work flows through these GSA schedule vehicles rather than through full-and-open or agency-specific IDIQs.

Activity has grown modestly over the past five years, with a recent trajectory of one award in 2022, three in 2023, six in 2024, three in 2025, and three in 2026 to date. Only two awards (combined potential value $329 thousand) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Combined potential value across the entire 181-award footprint is $20.2 million, with $9.5 million obligated as of the snapshot date. Work is performed in Lake Forest, California (DSI's headquarters) and at subordinate VA and Defense Health Agency facilities nationwide, including Charleston, South Carolina; Murfreesboro, Tennessee; Rancho Santa Margarita, California; Bethesda, Maryland; Washington, D.C.; and Orange, California. The company's NAICS concentration reflects its manufacturing focus, with All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (101 awards), Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (27 awards), and Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (21 awards) dominating the portfolio.
