Healthwest LLC

Healthwest LLC, doing business as Healthwest, is a for-profit limited liability company based in Knoxville, Maryland that provides laboratory inspection and forensic toxicology services to the Defense Health Agency and Department of the Navy as a prime contractor, competing on a full-and-open basis with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Healthwest operates almost entirely as a prime contractor—176 of 176 awards in the source are prime awards with zero subcontract work. The company delivers on-site facility inspections, technical procedure evaluations, and forensic toxicology consulting to ensure Defense Department medical testing laboratories meet applicable technical standards and regulatory requirements. Work is performed at multiple military medical facilities nationwide, including Tripler Laboratory in Honolulu, Hawaii; Naval Dental Support Line (NDSL) in Jacksonville, Florida; Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) in Dover, Delaware; Great Lakes Laboratory in Illinois; Fort Meade, Maryland; and Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. Representative work includes a $149,443 delivery order issued March 17, 2026 by the Defense Health Agency for laboratory inspections with completion due May 21, 2026; a $150,294 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Defense Health Agency in May 2023 for NDSL Jacksonville Laboratory inspections; and a $27,017 delivery order from the Defense Health Agency in September 2022 for Tripler Laboratory inspections.

Healthwest's customer base concentrates heavily in Defense Health Agency work. The Defense Health Agency accounts for 92 awards with $3.9 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Army Medical Command places 76 awards worth $1.9 million combined. The Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery has issued 4 awards totaling $1.8 million. A secondary customer, the Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration, places 3 awards valued at $3.1 million combined potential value—a notable concentration shift given the much smaller award count. Together, these five agencies represent 100% of identified awards.

Healthwest's primary vehicle position rests on a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (N6264522D5004) valued at $1.57 million awarded by the Naval Medical Logistics Command on February 27, 2022, with ultimate completion February 26, 2027. This IDC anchors 32 delivery orders worth $1.3 million combined potential value and serves as the parent vehicle for most of the company's Defense Health Agency and Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery work. Two additional Army Medical Command IDCs are also in use: Indefinite Delivery Contract N6264512D5025 supports 76 task orders totaling $890 thousand, and Indefinite Delivery Contract N6264516D5038 carries 62 task orders worth $1.1 million combined.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. Healthwest received 15 awards in 2022, dropped to 8 in 2023 and 7 in 2024, then fell to 2 in 2025 and 1 in 2026. Combined potential value across all 176 awards stands at $10.6 million with $6.3 million obligated (59% of potential value). The work is categorized predominantly under NAICS 541611 (Other Management Consulting Services) for 173 awards, with minimal diversification into testing laboratories, scientific consulting, or medical laboratory services. PSC coding reflects the same concentration: 172 awards under Inspection–Subsistence, with 3 under Reference Laboratory Testing and 1 under In Vitro Diagnostic Substances.
