Medtronic Sofamor Danek Usa, Inc.

Medtronic Sofamor Danek Usa, Inc., doing business as Medtronic, is a foreign-owned medical device manufacturer that supplies surgical implants, spinal fusion systems, neurostimulation devices, and surgical navigation technology to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and related federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis, competing without set-aside designations. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, Medtronic operates as a for-profit corporation and manufactures goods across multiple NAICS categories, with surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing representing 4,750 of its 9,169 recent federal awards.

Medtronic's federal footprint is dominated by the Veterans Health Administration and military healthcare buyers. The Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery accounts for 2,171 awards (about 24% of total awards) valued at $47.4 million combined potential value, anchoring the customer base. The Department of the Army Medical Command ranks second with 840 awards and $41.9 million combined potential value. The Defense Health Agency places 92 awards for $16.2 million combined potential value. Across these three customers alone, Medtronic covers approximately 35% of its recent awards by volume and 59% of combined potential value by dollars. Five Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs 16, 8, 2, 10, and 12) collectively account for an additional 2,222 awards, demonstrating deep penetration across VA regional networks. Medtronic serves 39 distinct customer agencies, but the top five account for 47% of awards, signaling customer concentration in federal healthcare procurement.

Representative contract work spans spinal implants, neurostimulation devices, and surgical support equipment. Medtronic holds a $753,525 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 for Stealth Navigation Technology with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2030. A $367,625 contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 covers O-Arm service and support through September 2029. A $347,650 definitive contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 provides maintenance services for a Medtronic Stealth 7 with AXIEM surgical navigation system through January 2028. Smaller recurring purchase orders populate the portfolio — $44,051.96 for TRIMLINE RETRACTOR ITEMS, $50,456 for medical equipment at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, and $248,833.20 for spinal device kits from the Defense Health Agency. The majority of awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders under $50,000, with typical line items naming implants, bone grafts, cervical fusion hardware, lumbar fusion systems, prosthetic devices, and surgical supplies.

Medtronic operates under several parent vehicles. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (W91YTZ04A0002) anchors 408 task orders with $396 thousand combined potential value. A Blanket Purchase Agreement (W91YU012A0021) carries 39 task orders for $8.2 million combined potential value. Three additional indefinite delivery and BPA vehicles (W91YU008A0003, V528M00083, V528M00082) account for 47 additional task orders totaling approximately $2.8 million combined potential value. These vehicles, issued by the Army, support recurring purchase orders to VA and military healthcare facilities.

Activity has declined over the past five years. Medtronic received 76 awards in 2022, declining to 64 in 2023, 22 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and 9 year-to-date in 2026 as of September 17, 2026. This trajectory signals contraction in the federal medical device procurement envelope or shift in buyer patterns — possibly from individual purchase orders to consolidated sourcing or larger contract vehicles. Two awards (combined potential value $372 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $208.1 million, with $193.7 million (93%) obligated, indicating strong execution against the contract portfolio.

Medtronic operates entirely as a prime contractor; the source contains no sub-award relationships. The company competes on the open market without SBA set-aside designations across full-and-open procurements from VA VISNs, Defense Health Agency, Army Medical Command, and Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (PSC code) represents 8,539 of its awards; Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies (PSC) accounts for 215 awards. First award in the source data traces to December 1991, reflecting Medtronic's long-standing relationship with federal healthcare buyers.
