Medline Industries, LP

Medline Industries, LP, doing business as Caring International, manufactures and distributes medical consumables, surgical equipment, personal protective equipment, durable medical equipment, wound care products, and laboratory supplies to federal agencies as a large business prime contractor across full-and-open federal procurement. The company competes without set-asides and operates from headquarters in Northfield, Illinois, with subsidiary operations including Professional Hospital Supply, Inc. and Centurion Medical Products Corporation.

Medline's federal award footprint spans 54,919 total awards with combined potential value of $30.62 billion, concentrated in routine delivery orders under master indefinite delivery vehicles rather than single large contracts. The company operates as prime contractor on 100% of recent awards, with sub-award activity limited to fulfillment of specialized medical items through Cardinal Health 200, LLC. Recent capability work includes delivery of medical and surgical supplies to Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities under the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor Generation Z Version 1 Program (MSPV GEN-Z V1)—including orders valued at $560 thousand (central supply medical supplies to Federal Correctional Complex Butner, June 2026), $171.5 thousand (medical and surgical equipment to Federal Medical Center Lexington, June 2026), and $329.4 thousand (bladder scanners to Veterans Integrated Service Network 6, May 2026)—alongside procurement of dialysis supplies, pharmaceutical items, surgical packs, and specialized medical equipment across federal correctional and health service networks.

Customer concentration is pronounced but distributed across multiple large buyers. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for 21% of combined potential value, anchored by the Department of Veterans Affairs Headquarters with $5.63 billion across 119 awards, followed by the Indian Health Service with $472.1 million across 878 awards, the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical with $113.1 million across 5,942 awards, Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 with $71.2 million across 101 awards, and the Bureau of Prisons Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield with $10.6 million across 309 awards. Award count concentration (the top five agencies account for 14% of all awards) reveals that DLA Troop Support Medical dominates volume with 5,942 orders, while VA Headquarters dominates dollar concentration despite only 119 awards—signaling that VA awards carry substantially higher individual values. The Indian Health Service operates in both rankings with material scale: 878 orders worth $472.1 million reflects medium-sized routine procurement.

Medline places work under multiple federal supply vehicles. The Federal Supply Schedule V797P4144A anchors the portfolio with 20,065 task orders worth $106.8 million; the indefinite delivery contract SPE2D017D0007 carries 3,755 task orders valued at $2.5 million; and the Blanket Purchase Agreement V797P4144A-V797P2043 includes 2,275 task orders valued at $15 million. The Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor Generation Z Version 1 Program (MSPV GEN-Z V1), administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick through Interagency Agreement 990-25, functions as a multi-agency master vehicle serving the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Veterans Affairs facilities, and Indian Health Service programs, with Medline holding a principal vendor seat generating hundreds of monthly delivery orders. Medline also holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Marshals Service Tactical Operations Division valued at $477.8 thousand, running through August 2030, for mission-critical medical stock and restocking supporting prisoner operations. A $175 million single-award BPA with the Indian Health Service under the General Services Administration Schedule for Medical Equipment and Supplies (awarded March 2025) enables procurement of medical consumables and healthcare products for tribal healthcare systems, with recent BPA calls of $4 million placed in February and March 2026.

Activity has remained stable year over year: 856 awards in 2022, 728 in 2023, 870 in 2024, 883 in 2025, and 289 in 2026 (partial-year data as of late September 2026). Eleven awards with combined potential value of $10.1 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete. The source does not report obligated dollars attributable to Medline specifically, though combined obligated dollars across all awards total $3.56 billion (12% of potential value), indicating that federal usage of Medline inventory continues but does not yet reflect full drawdown of awarded ceilings.

Capability concentration centers on medical instrument, pharmaceutical, and supplies manufacturing and distribution. Top NAICS categories include Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (22,567 awards), Medicinal and Botanical Manufacturing (5,438 awards), and Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (1,577 awards). Top PSC codes reflect the same portfolio: Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (28,341 awards), Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies (9,084 awards), and Drugs and Biologicals (5,827 awards). This concentration signals that Medline's federal footprint consists predominantly of routine consumables replenishment and commodity supply delivery rather than complex engineering or advisory services; the large award count with modest individual ceiling values (median delivery order under MSPV GEN-Z V1 ranges from $3 thousand to $80 thousand) reflects federal agencies' reliance on Medline as a default supplier for standard medical inventory across multiple discrete facilities.

Medline maintains no notable full-and-open federal teaming arrangements reported in the source, though it functions as a sub-supplier to Cardinal Health 200, LLC on medical and surgical equipment items including tourniquets, bandages, surgical region kits, and implantable medical devices. The source identifies no grant recipient activity; all awards are contract-based. Geographic distribution of performance is concentrated at Medline's Northfield, Illinois headquarters and an Oklahoma City distribution facility, with place-of-performance language in individual delivery orders consistently specifying Northfield or Oklahoma City, indicating centralized distribution to federal customers across all regions.
