Mary Free Bed Orthotics & Prosthetics

Mary Free Bed Orthotics & Prosthetics, doing business as Mary Free Bed Brace And Corset Shop, manufactures and delivers custom and prefabricated prosthetic limbs, orthotic appliances, and related rehabilitation devices to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a non-profit prime contractor operating exclusively on full-and-open (non-set-aside) awards. The organization is a subsidiary of Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with all work performed in-house at its Michigan facility and no significant subcontractor involvement.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency focused. Of 232 prime awards totaling $41.1 million in combined potential value, the Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for 206 awards and $40.9 million—meaning 99% of potential dollars and 89% of award count flow through VA relationships. The Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (serving Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky) anchors the portfolio at 195 awards and $24.7 million combined potential value, while the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin holds 10 awards and $16.2 million. A single VISN 7 award worth $16 thousand represents the remaining customer exposure. The two rankings align—both agency-measure signals point to VISN 10 dominance.

Mary Free Bed holds two active Blanket Purchase Agreements as primary contracting vehicles. The larger is a $15 million single-award BPA with VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin (awarded February 10, 2022, extending through February 9, 2032) for artificial limbs and related prosthetic services to VISN 10. Against this vehicle, 62 task orders carry $2.5 million in combined potential value across individual orders ranging from below $10,000 to $396,444. A second $7 million single-award BPA with VISN 10 for orthotic appliances and related services (awarded September 22, 2025, running through July 7, 2026) has generated 1 task order to date valued at $22,980. Two additional BPAs—36C25021A0043 and 36C25025A0051—account for 7 task orders and $7.8 million combined potential value. Representative work includes a $396,444 artificial limbs delivery order (February 2025), a $445,597 EXPRESS REPORT artificial limbs call (February 2024), a $90,456 orthotics call (September 2024), and scores of individualized prosthetic-device orders (above-knee, below-knee, microprocessor-controlled limbs, osseointegrated connectors) valued between $9,000 and $77,000 each.

The capability portfolio, grounded in award descriptions and NAICS/PSC concentration, centers on surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing (170 of 232 awards under NAICS 339113). The vendor specializes in above-knee and below-knee prosthetic limbs, microprocessor-controlled prosthetic devices, artificial arms, osseointegrated external prosthetic connectors, custom and prefabricated orthotic appliances (braces, diabetic shoes, compression garments), and related clinical rehabilitation services. Work is firm fixed price across all awards; no cost-plus or time-and-materials relationships appear in the portfolio.

Activity has remained flat to slightly declining—12 awards in 2022, 20 in 2023, 20 in 2024, 18 in 2025, and 4 through late September 2026. The recompete cliff is negligible: only 2 awards worth $60 thousand in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months. The $7 million VISN 10 orthotics BPA (September 2025) extends through July 2026; the $15 million artificial limbs BPA runs through February 2032 with no stated recompete signal in the near term.
