Great Lakes Bio-Medical Services Inc.

Great Lakes Bio-Medical Services Inc., a Michigan-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, provides biomedical equipment maintenance, testing, inspection, and recertification services exclusively to the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons facilities as a prime contractor on 497 small-dollar purchase orders spanning the past thirty years. The vendor operates entirely outside set-asides on full-and-open competition, though approximately one-third of recent awards carry Total Small Business designations; the firm competes consistently across both set-aside and unrestricted vehicles.

Great Lakes Bio-Medical's customer concentration is extreme and immobile. The top five Bureau of Prisons facilities account for 24 percent of awards by count and 33 percent of combined potential value, anchored by Federal Correctional Complex Victorville (26 awards, $271 thousand), Federal Correctional Complex Coleman (16 awards, $217 thousand), and Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (32 awards, $205 thousand). Across 497 awards, the vendor has served 44 distinct Bureau of Prisons locations — federal correctional complexes, institutions, penitentiaries, and detention centers — from a Michigan service base. The combined potential value of the entire footprint sits at $3 million, with $3 million obligated against it (103 percent of potential value), indicating invoiced revenue nearly matches contract ceiling values. Individual awards consistently range from $3 thousand to $19.2 thousand as firm fixed-price purchase orders, with recurring work at the same facilities for quarterly or semi-annual equipment checks, preventative maintenance, and medical device recertification. Representative work includes a $19.2 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Victorville (January 2026) for bi-annual medical equipment inspection, a $9.999 thousand no-set-aside order from Federal Correctional Complex Coleman (December 2025) for re-certification services, and a $7.7 thousand no-set-aside award from Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (February 2026) for equipment service and maintenance supporting correctional healthcare operations.

Great Lakes Bio-Medical sits on two blanket purchase agreements: Blanket Purchase Agreement DJB21103019 (4 task orders, $14 thousand combined potential value) and Blanket Purchase Agreement V655BPA5002 (1 task order, $2 thousand). The vendor maintains no subcontractor footprint; 100 percent of awards are prime. Work is performed from Tipton, Michigan and Onsted, Michigan across the federal corrections system. The top NAICS codes center on other electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance (260 awards), with secondary clustering in all other professional, scientific, and technical services (75 awards) and medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies merchant wholesaling (30 awards). Primary PSC codes align with maintenance and repair of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment (137 awards) and equipment testing for medical applications (45 awards). Activity has remained flat to modest — between ten and fifteen awards per year over the past five years — with only four awards (combined potential value $41 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure. The vendor's award trajectory and dollar volume suggest a stable, narrow-band service relationship with Bureau of Prisons healthcare operations rather than growth into new customer agencies or capability areas.
