Ekla Corp

Ekla Corp, a woman-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Naperville, Illinois, supplies medical equipment, furniture, and disposable consumables to federal healthcare systems as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations on its core delivery orders. The company holds a $25 million single-award IDIQ with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical running through October 2026 and a $20.45 million Federal Supply Schedule contract (FSS-65-II-A) with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 through July 2029, positioning it as a strategic supplier to military treatment facilities and veteran healthcare systems nationwide.

Ekla's capability portfolio spans examination and procedure tables in multiple configurations (barrier-free, powered, pediatric), medical furniture including seamless upholstered clinic chairs and stools, sterilization equipment (Ritter M11 steam sterilizers), vital signs monitors and mobile diagnostic carts, and extensive consumable medical supplies (thermometer caps, ECG electrodes, blood pressure cuffs, disposable nose clips, sterilization sleeves, and cleaning solutions). Representative work includes a $32.4 million delivery order from the Defense Logistics Agency for 630 non-programmable procedures tables, a $42,906 delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 for a barrier-free exam table through the FSS contract, and a $34,013.50 delivery order from the same VISN for a lithotripsy urology table. The company also serves the Indian Health Service and Bureau of Prisons through the same vehicles, with orders ranging from routine consumables priced under $100 to specialized equipment exceeding $97,000.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward federal healthcare systems. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 accounts for 30 awards carrying $67.3 million in combined potential value (96% coverage of the top five customers by dollars), while the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical places 159 awards valued at $25.5 million combined. The Indian Health Service, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, and other VA networks round out the active customer set. The divergence between rankings is significant: by award count, DLA dominates with 159 orders representing routine and varied procurements; by potential value, VISN 12's smaller order count anchors most dollars through the $20.45 million FSS contract ceiling.

Ekla places task orders against the Defense Logistics Agency's single-award IDIQ (158 task orders, $522 thousand combined potential value), the VA's FSS-65-II-A Medical Equipment and Supplies contract (54 task orders, $17.3 million combined potential value), and a secondary Federal Supply Schedule vehicle (383 task orders, $2.1 million combined potential value). These vehicles are the primary channels through which federal agencies reach Ekla for both routine consumables and significant capital equipment acquisitions.

Activity has contracted materially: the vendor received 43 awards in 2022, 54 in 2023, 38 in 2024, 26 in 2025, and 7 through April 2026. The combined potential value across all 1,501 awards is $113.8 million, with only $6 million obligated to date (5% realization rate). The source data spans over two decades; recent activity focuses on DLA delivery orders and VA FSS task orders. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal work with no subcontractor or sub-award presence captured in the source.
