Kokua Orthotic Solutions LLC

Kokua Orthotic Solutions LLC, operating through its Kokua Orthotic Solutions Division, manufactures and delivers custom-designed prosthetic limbs and orthotic devices to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a woman-owned and veteran-owned small business, competing on full-and-open awards without set-aside designation. Based in Hilo, Hawaii, Kokua is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation structured as a partnership or limited liability partnership, organized primarily under NAICS 334511 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC code for Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies.

Kokua operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) serving a single customer agency with near-total concentration. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 21 accounts for 39 of 40 awards and $854 thousand of the combined $867 thousand potential value; VISN 21 serves veterans in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands region. The single remaining award, valued at $13 thousand, is from VA Headquarters. Kokua's product portfolio spans below-knee prosthetics, above-knee prosthetics, knee prostheses, molded socket systems, and waterproof prosthetic limbs tailored to amputee care. Recent representative awards include a $32.3 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from VISN 21 issued February 25, 2026 for prosthetic limbs with completion by June 25, 2026 (performed in Mather, California); a $23.7 thousand purchase order from January 20, 2026 through May 20, 2026 for prosthetic limb products and services (also Mather performance); and a $55.7 thousand award dated May 26, 2024 for above-knee prosthetic devices. All awards are purchase orders with firm fixed-price structures and no set-aside designations, reflecting Kokua's competitive standing and established role as VISN 21's primary prosthetics supplier in the region.

Award activity has been volatile: three awards in 2022, nine in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date. Kokua carries no subcontract footprint; all work is performed as prime. The vendor maintains no presence on government-wide vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs; all work flows through direct purchase orders from VISN 21. Performance locations include Hilo, Hawaii (headquarters), Honolulu, Hawaii, Palo Alto, California, and Mather, California, reflecting a geographic footprint spanning Hawaii and subordinate West Coast delivery sites.
