Hansotte Dental Laboratory

Hansotte Dental Laboratory, a sole proprietor-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Butler, Pennsylvania, manufactures and delivers off-site dental laboratory services and dental prosthetics exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor competing under total small business and full-and-open set-asides.

Hansotte operates under NAICS 339116 (Dental Laboratories) with a narrow, specialized capability footprint: fabrication of dental prosthetics, crowns, bridges, dentures, and related laboratory products for veteran patients at the Butler VA Medical Center. The vendor's entire federal footprint comprises twenty-six awards, all issued by Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (VISN 4) since 2007, with no subcontract activity and no customer diversification. Recent representative work includes a $229,813 firm fixed-price delivery order awarded August 13, 2024 for off-site dental lab services under a newly established single-award indefinite-delivery contract with a $246,677 ceiling through August 12, 2029; a $47,317 delivery order awarded August 13, 2025 under the same IDC; and a $49,025 total-small-business-set-aside delivery order awarded August 13, 2026 for the same scope, carrying a completion date of August 12, 2027.

Concentration with a single customer defines Hansotte's risk profile: VISN 4 accounts for 88% of awards (23 of 26) and 98% of combined potential value ($1.5 million across all awards). The vendor places task orders under five separate VA indefinite-delivery contracts, with the largest vehicles carrying $326 thousand (IDC 36C24424D0096, 3 task orders) and $178 thousand (IDC VA24414D0350, 5 task orders) in combined potential value. Activity remains flat at one to two awards per year over the past five years, with $569 thousand of the $1.5 million combined ceiling obligated to date. Two awards valued at $96 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure in that window. Hansotte has sustained this VISN 4 relationship since 2007, competing under no set-aside on most awards but holding a total-small-business designation on the current master IDC, positioning it as a dedicated vendor for Butler VAMC's dental laboratory requirements rather than a growth-trajectory federal contractor.
