Medtronic Sofamor Danek Usa, Inc.

Medtronic Sofamor Danek Usa, Inc., doing business as Medtronic, is a foreign-owned manufacturer of surgical implants, spinal fusion systems, neurostimulation devices, and surgical navigation technologies that sells exclusively to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, the company operates across NAICS 339112 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and 339113 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), with recent federal activity dominated by high-volume purchase orders for spinal and orthopedic surgical implants, bone grafts, cervical fusion hardware, neurostimulators, and maintenance services on proprietary surgical systems.

Medtronic's customer base centers on military and veteran healthcare. The top five funding agencies by award count and combined potential value span the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (2,171 awards, $47.4 million), Department of the Army Medical Command (840 awards, $41.9 million), and multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks across the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Defense Health Agency ranks third by potential value ($16.2 million across 92 awards), reflecting Medtronic's role as a core surgical implant supplier to military treatment facilities and the Armed Services. Over 47% of recent awards concentrate within the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and Army Medical Command; these two customers alone account for $89.3 million in combined potential value—a strong concentration signal for federal procurement activity rooted in routine surgical supply replenishment across military and VA networks.

Recent capability work exemplifies the footprint: a $765 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 for Stealth Navigation Technology (surgical guidance systems) awarded May 1, 2025; a $347.65 thousand definitive contract with VISN 23 for five-year maintenance services on a Medtronic Stealth 7 with AXIEM surgical navigation system at VA Omaha, awarded February 1, 2023; a $237 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Health Agency for preventive maintenance and repair of O-Arm 2D/3D imaging systems at Madigan Army Medical Center, awarded September 10, 2022; and hundreds of smaller individual purchase orders (typically $10 thousand to $50 thousand each) for cervical fusion implants, lumbar fusion hardware, bone matrix products, and neurostimulator devices issued by VISNs and Army and Navy medical commands. Top parent vehicles include an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W91YTZ04A0002) with 408 task orders carrying $396 thousand combined potential value, and a Blanket Purchase Agreement (W91YU012A0021) with 39 task orders worth $8.2 million combined potential value, both Army procurement vehicles.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. The vendor received 76 awards in 2022, 64 in 2023, 22 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and only 6 in 2026 through early May—a 92% year-over-year drop from 2022 to 2026 year-to-date. This trajectory suggests either contract consolidation among federal customers, shift to larger blanket purchase agreements or indefinite delivery vehicles that generate fewer individual transactions, or erosion of market position. Only 4 awards (combined potential value $398 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window but also reflecting the sparse recent award volume.

Medtronic operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source contains no sub-award activity. The company holds no participation on government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs) or civilian agency IDIQs; its parent vehicles are limited to Army and Navy supply contracts. With 9,166 total prime awards across 39 distinct federal agencies and a combined potential value of $208 million ($193.6 million obligated), Medtronic is a large, established federal supplier whose business model rests on routine medical device procurement by DoD and VA healthcare networks rather than on competition for larger service integration or systems contracts.
