Martin Aijs LLC

Martin Aijs LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Wadsworth, Ohio, provides laser etching and marking systems, surgical instrument tracking equipment, sterile processing optimization services, and healthcare facility storage and design solutions exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor across 111 recent federal awards. The company competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides; 59 percent of its awards carry explicit SDVOSB or total small business set-aside designations, while the remainder compete full-and-open or sole-source under proprietary equipment authority.

Martin Aijs LLC's capability footprint centers on NuTrace laser etching systems—the company functions as the authorized distributor and service provider for NuTrace brand surgical instrument marking equipment across the VA system. Concrete representative work includes a $562,000 definitive contract with VISN 22 (March 2026) for laser etching services to mark and track up to 50,000 surgical instruments at the Phoenix VA Health Care System, including staff training and annual preventive maintenance; a $434,994 delivery order from VISN 4 (June 2026) for tape removal and laser etching services under the GSA Medical Equipment & Supplies Schedule (FSS-65-II-A) with performance in Pittsburgh; and a $429,850 SDVOSB-set-aside purchase order from VISN 1 (April 2026) for a complete NuTrace surgical instrument tracking system with 17 scanners, laser startup training, and services to etch up to 35,000 instruments at VA Connecticut Healthcare System. Beyond laser equipment, Martin Aijs LLC also delivers storage systems, shelving, tray optimization services, hospital tool sharpening and repair, and facility design work—a $391,320 contract with VISN 10 (September 2023) for hospital tool sharpening and repair services and a $275,665 award from the same customer (February 2024) for tray optimization services illustrate this breadth.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to the VA Veterans Health Administration. The top five VISN networks account for 59 percent of awards by count and 67 percent of combined potential value. VISN 1 (serving the Northeast) anchors the dollars at $3.9 million across 18 awards; VISN 7 (Southeast) generates $3.2 million across 7 awards; VISN 10 (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky region) places the most individual orders at 21 awards worth $2.4 million combined; VISN 21 (Northern California) holds 13 awards valued at $1.5 million; and VISN 12 (Great Lakes) adds $1.4 million across 4 awards. Notably, Martin Aijs LLC has no subcontract footprint—all 111 awards are prime contractor positions. The company also holds a Federal Supply Schedule seat on the VA's Medical Equipment & Supplies GSA Schedule (FSS-65-II-A), under which VISN 4 placed the $434,994 delivery order in June 2026, and maintains a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with VISN 16 (ceiling $147,946, through February 2029) for laser etching for sterile processing instruments.

Award activity has accelerated sharply—six awards in 2022 to 31 in 2026 year-to-date—driving a compound trajectory of growth. Seventeen awards carrying combined potential value of $4.3 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete exposure for the vendor and recompete opportunity for competitors. The company's work spans multiple NAICS codes, with the plurality clustered in surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (21 awards) and surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing (21 awards), and PSC coding dominated by medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies (56 awards). SDVOSB designation is the primary competitive posture; Martin Aijs LLC does not appear to hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-agency IDIQs, and its reach is confined to VA regional procurements and the single GSA Schedule.
