Health Systems Sciences, LLC

Health Systems Sciences, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Mankato, Minnesota, delivers specialized testing, certification, inspection, and maintenance services for controlled environment equipment and pharmacy facilities to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on a predominantly full-and-open basis, with recurring set-aside awards across SDVOSB and Total Small Business categories.

Health Systems Sciences operates across a narrow but deep capability set centered on United States Pharmacopeia (USP) 797 and 825 sterile compounding certifications, pharmacy hood and biosafety cabinet testing and recertification, HEPA filter testing and replacement, personnel competency validation (media fill testing, gloved fingertip and thumb testing, garbing and cleaning competency observation), controlled environment testing, and industrial hygiene monitoring for asbestos abatement. Representative work includes a $2.24 million SDVOSB purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 6 for fume hood maintenance and repair services at Durham VA Medical Center through March 2027; a $1.06 million Total Small Business purchase order from VISN 17 for a Sterile Compounding Compliance Quality Assurance Program covering pharmacy cleanroom certification and testing at Dallas and Garland VA facilities extending through February 2031; and a $1.13 million SDVOSB purchase order from VISN 2 for industrial hygiene and fume hood services at VA NY Harbor Healthcare System facilities in Brooklyn and Manhattan through July 2029. Additional work spans environmental testing and certification at Defense Health Agency facilities (Fort Irwin, Naval Medical Center San Diego, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base), Indian Health Service locations (Northern Navajo Medical Center, Phoenix area), Department of Agriculture facilities (National Center for Applied Plant Protection), and the Food and Drug Administration.

Customer concentration clusters within the Department of Veterans Affairs health system. The top five customer VISNs (by combined potential value) account for 66% of combined potential value: VISN 15 and VISN 23 each represent $3.3 million, VISN 17 represents $2.7 million, VISN 6 represents $2.4 million, and VISN 2 represents $2.3 million. By award count, VISN 23 leads with 12 awards, followed by VISN 8 with 9 awards and VISN 10 with 8 awards — together representing 53% of all awards. Non-VA customers include the Defense Health Agency, Indian Health Service, Department of Agriculture, and Food and Drug Administration. Activity has accelerated: nine awards in 2024 grew to 16 in 2025 and 19 in 2026 year-to-date, signaling sustained pipeline momentum within VA medical centers.

Health Systems Sciences holds five primary indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring task-order work: a $2.8 million single-award IDIQ with VISN 15 for IV room certification and testing services through February 2031; a $730.8 million single-award IDIQ with VISN 9 for pharmacy personnel testing and competency services through November 2028 (misleading ceiling — source lists "$730,779.90"); a $568.3 thousand single-award IDIQ with VISN 2 for sterile compounding area testing through January 2027; a $140.6 thousand single-award IDIQ with VISN 19 for controlled environment testing at Montana VA locations through July 2030 (with delivery orders totaling $64.2 thousand across three orders); and a $2.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with VISN 23 (36C26321A0014) for industrial hygienist monitoring services supporting asbestos abatement, from which seven task orders totaling $337 thousand have been issued. Additional named vehicles include IDICs 36C24821D0056 (five task orders, $95 thousand), 36C25925D0039 (four task orders, $144 thousand), and 36C24924D0024 (two task orders, $709 thousand).

Health Systems Sciences operates entirely as a prime contractor — all 80 awards in the source are prime awards with zero sub-awards — and performs work directly without identified subcontracting. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (FY2022–FY2025), the vendor invoiced $1.8 million with zero sub-hours share, confirming full self-delivery. SCI-reported FTE trajectory shows modest staffing scale: 2.2 FTEs in FY2023, declining to 1.8 FTEs in FY2024 and 1.3 FTEs in FY2025. On SCI-reportable contracts, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $150 per hour, with specialist labor pricing through $224 per hour at the 90th percentile, and entry-level work at $73 per hour. These figures capture only service contracts above the $150 thousand reporting threshold and exclude goods procurements, which comprise a material portion of Health Systems Sciences' portfolio.

Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months stands at fourteen awards with combined potential value of $5.2 million — approximately 24% of the vendor's total pipeline and a significant renewal opportunity across multiple VA networks. All recent awards carry NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) or related testing-and-inspection codes; the top PSC categories are inspection (construction, instruments, laboratory equipment) and equipment maintenance and repair across medical, dental, and veterinary equipment classifications.
