Laerdal Medical Corporation

Laerdal Medical Corporation, doing business as Laerdal Medical Corp, manufactures and supplies high-fidelity patient simulators, manikins, airway management trainers, and medical simulation equipment to the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor across 1,318 awards since 1980. The company competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Laerdal is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Wappingers Falls, New York. Its federal capability portfolio centers on concrete medical simulation products and services: SimMan 3G and SimMan Essential manikins, Nursing Anne simulators, Mama Anne models, Breathing Man systems, patient simulator maintenance and extended warranty services, preventative maintenance on high-fidelity equipment, and simulation scenario software. Representative prime awards include a $3.165 million delivery order from the Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) in April 2022 for high-fidelity patient simulation equipment; an $842 thousand Foreign Military Sales contract with the Army Security Assistance Command in April 2022 for SimMan 3G manikins with accessories and airway management trainers; a $1.364 million purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 in August 2021 for SimMan equipment and simulation center operations extending through September 2026; and a $447 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory in September 2024 for manikin service and maintenance. Laerdal also supplies maintenance repair, extended warranty contracts, preventative maintenance services, and individual simulator units to the Defense Health Agency, with recent awards including $161 thousand for healthcare simulation and bioskills training center work at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and $55 thousand for maintenance and extended warranty services at Walter Reed.

Customer concentration is stark and defense-weighted. The top five funding agencies account for 95% of combined potential value across all awards. The Department of the Army Medical Command dominates with 64 awards valued at $193.5 million combined potential value—roughly 80% of Laerdal's entire federal portfolio. The Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation anchors an additional $30.2 million across sixteen awards. Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System) places nineteen awards worth $2 million combined potential value, and the Defense Health Agency fields twenty-eight awards totaling $1.9 million. The Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery accounts for fifty-one awards but only $929 thousand. This concentration reflects Laerdal's role as the primary federal supplier of advanced patient simulators to military and VA medical training programs; the Army Medical Command's dominance by dollar value indicates large annual procurement and multi-year maintenance contracts, while the Navy and broader VA network place numerous smaller transactional orders.

Laerdal places work under federal supply schedules: GS02F5656A carries eleven task orders; GS02F9315C carries five; and GS02F9380C carries four task orders valued at $14 thousand. The company also holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W900KK18D0013) with three task orders valued at $7.5 million combined. Award trajectory has declined sharply: thirteen awards in 2022, seven in 2023, twelve in 2024, three in 2025, and four through mid-2026. Six awards with combined potential value of $1.8 million face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure.

Laerdal operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards by count). The source identifies one sub-award from July 2024 under Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on a Joint Program Executive Office Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense MRICD model procurement, but this represents a negligible sub footprint relative to Laerdal's prime activity.

Recent award activity centers on Veterans Affairs Integrated Service Networks and Army medical commands. A June 2026 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (Little Rock, Arkansas) valued at $60 thousand covered an audio simulation lab upgrade with completion due September 2026. An April 2026 purchase order from the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations valued at $15 thousand reflects ongoing supply business through civilian federal healthcare operations. A $235 thousand award from Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (North Las Vegas) in January 2026 covers manikin support and services through December 2030 under five-year base-plus-four-option-year terms. A November 2025 $91 thousand definitive contract with the Army's PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation delivered a Mama Anne medical simulation mannequin to Tunisia. An August 2025 contract from the Army Reserve Command valued at $24 thousand covered SimMan manikin servicing plan support in Chicopee, Massachusetts.
