Fortec Medical Inc.

Fortec Medical Inc., doing business as Fortec Midwest Litho LLC, is a Hudson, Ohio-based for-profit medical technology company that supplies surgical laser rental, ultrasound equipment, lithotripsy systems, and certified technician support exclusively as a prime contractor to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense Health Agency, competing without set-asides across 266 recent awards with combined potential value of $50.7 million.

Fortec specializes in mobile surgical technologies and equipment rental services to federal healthcare agencies, with over 35 years of operating history. The company operates across multiple specialized NAICS codes — All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (63 awards), Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (53 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services (47 awards) — grounded in PSC 7010 (Lease or Rental of Medical Equipment, 79 awards) and 6520 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, 57 awards). Recent representative awards include a $4.4 million BPA call from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VISN 22) for surgical laser rentals (OY1 through August 31, 2028), a $1.4 million indefinite-delivery contract from VISN 10 for laser rental and technician services at Cleveland VA Medical Center through December 31, 2030, and a $5.1 million BPA from VISN 9 for surgical equipment rental across Kentucky and Tennessee VA medical centers through December 31, 2035.

Customer concentration runs deep within the VA system. The top five funding agencies account for 64 percent of recent awards, anchored by VISN 22 (21 awards, $12.8 million combined potential value), VISN 9 (9 awards, $5.5 million), VISN 2 (36 awards, $5.3 million), the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (47 awards, $4.1 million), and VISN 7 (12 awards, $4.1 million). The dollar rankings diverge from volume: VISN 22's potential value is driven by three large multi-year BPA calls, while the Navy's 47 awards are smaller individual purchase orders for disposables, laser rentals, and intraoperative support. Fortec also serves VISN 4, VISN 5, VISN 6, VISN 8, VISN 10, VISN 12, VISN 17, VISN 19, and the Defense Health Agency.

Fortec holds active single-award IDIQs and BPAs across multiple VISNs with ceiling values ranging from $110 thousand (VISN 2 ultrasound and da Vinci support, through March 31, 2027) to $5.1 million (VISN 9 surgical equipment rental, through December 31, 2035). The five parent vehicles carrying the highest task-order volume are an IDC N0018914DZ013 (7 task orders, $478 thousand), IDC 36C24219D0092 (6 task orders, $129 thousand), IDC VA24614D0026 (6 task orders, $1.1 million), IDC 36C24222D0013 (5 task orders, $702 thousand), and BPA 36C24722A0057 (5 task orders, $2.1 million). These vehicles span Navy and VA contracting offices.

Activity has moderated year over year — 15 awards in 2022 to 9 in 2026 — with 9 awards (combined potential value $1.7 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $1.2 million in FY2024 across 0.6 FTEs, representing a narrow slice of Fortec's federal footprint; the majority of work flows through purchase orders, delivery orders against IDIQs, and BPA calls for equipment rental and technician deployment rather than time-and-materials service contracts. On the SCI records available, government-paid hourly rates median around $954.66/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $37,643.93/hr, suggesting a mix of junior technician billing and specialized expertise billing. Fortec operates with no subcontractors across its prime federal portfolio; all 266 awards are self-delivered.

Fortec's capability footprint is concentrated in laser modalities — holmium, CO2, thulium, greenlight, and KTP systems — ultrasound equipment compatible with robotic surgical platforms (da Vinci SI), extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and certified technician staffing for urological, laparoscopic, and general surgical procedures. Work is performed at VA Medical Centers and Defense Health Agency facilities nationwide, with recurring performance sites in Buffalo, New York; Lebanon, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Ohio; Charleston, South Carolina; Asheville, North Carolina; and multiple sites across VISN 22 in Southern California.
