Fortec Medical Inc.

Fortec Medical Inc., doing business as Fortec Midwest Litho LLC, is a Hudson, Ohio-based medical technology company that rents surgical laser systems, ultrasound equipment, lithotripsy devices, and provides certified technician support exclusively to federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor across 268 awards with no subcontractor engagement. The company operates as a for-profit corporation with over 35 years of federal healthcare experience, competing full-and-open (no set-asides) across all major awards.

Fortec's customer base concentrates overwhelmingly within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The top five funding agencies account for 66% of combined potential value: Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 22 leads with 22 awards and $17 million in combined potential value, followed by VISN 9 ($5.5 million across 9 awards), VISN 2 ($5.3 million across 37 awards), the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ($4.1 million across 47 awards), and VISN 7 ($4.1 million across 12 awards). This concentration reflects Fortec's specialized niche — the VA system accounts for roughly 85% of the dollar value in the portfolio. The Navy represents the only meaningful non-VA customer, but that relationship is secondary.

Fortec's capability portfolio centers on holmium, CO2, thulium, greenlight, and KTP laser rental; extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) equipment; ultrasound systems compatible with da Vinci robotic platforms; and on-site certified technician deployment. Representative awards span surgical laser rentals at VISN 22 San Diego facilities (a $4.4 million Option Year 1 BPA call awarded September 2024 through August 2028), laser and lithotripsy equipment and services at VISN 2's Buffalo VA Medical Center (a $713,900 indefinite-delivery contract through December 2026 generating multiple task orders), laser rental and technician support at VISN 10's Cleveland VA Medical Center (a $1.37 million IDC awarded January 2025 through December 2030), and UroNav fusion biopsy technician services at VISN 4's Lebanon VA Medical Center (a $738,000 IDC awarded May 2025 through May 2030). Recent awards include a $2.3 million Option Year 2 BPA call for VISN 22 surgical laser rentals (September 2025) and a $637,208 Option Year 3 call for the same customer (September 2026).

Fortec holds a dominant position on single-award BPAs and indefinite-delivery contracts across multiple VISNs. Top parent vehicles by task-order volume include an IDC with Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (N0018914DZ013) with 7 task orders valued at $478 thousand, multiple VA IDCs and BPAs across VISN 2, VISN 4, VISN 7, VISN 9, VISN 10, and VISN 22 ranging from $110,000 to $5.1 million in ceiling value. VISN 22's $5.1 million BPA (36C24722A0057, base plus three option years through August 2028) represents Fortec's largest single vehicle, with three active BPA calls generating $8.3 million in combined potential value since the base award in September 2023.

The vendor's recent activity shows variability but positive momentum in the past two years. Awards per year averaged 11 in 2022, declined to 6 in 2024, then recovered to 11 in 2025 and 10 in 2026 (year-to-date through September). The recompete cliff looms: nine awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $8.4 million, representing meaningful renewal opportunity and risk concentration in VISN 22 and VISN 2 relationships.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures a small slice of Fortec's federal activity — $3.1 million invoiced across FY2022–FY2025, concentrated in FY2024 ($1.2 million across 0.6 FTEs) and FY2025 ($1.9 million across 2.4 FTEs). SCI-reported government-paid hourly rates span $947.90/hr at the 10th percentile to $37,643.93/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting a wide range of technician labor and equipment-bundled pricing. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Fortec self-performs 100% of work with no subcontractor hours — the vendor builds its own delivery teams of certified technicians and operates without subs. This self-performance posture and the absence of any sub awards in the portfolio signal a vertically integrated delivery model focused on direct equipment and labor provision.

The category concentration across NAICS and PSC codes reinforces specialization: the portfolio clusters in All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (63 awards), Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (54 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services (47 awards). PSC concentration runs heaviest in Lease or Rental of Equipment — Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies (81 awards) and Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (57 awards).
