Mobility Research Inc.

Mobility Research Inc., a for-profit medical equipment manufacturer based in Phoenix, Arizona, supplies specialized gait-therapy and patient-lift rehabilitation devices to the Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal health agencies as a prime contractor exclusively — no subcontract work. The vendor operates under NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and competes full-and-open without set-aside designations on recent major awards, though some older purchase orders carry Total Small Business set-aside markings.

Mobility Research Inc.'s capability portfolio centers on LiteGait partial weight-bearing therapy systems and related gait-support equipment. The LiteGait product line — available in configurations including the 400X, 400 Deluxe, and 500X models — combines powered vertical displacement, wireless body-weight support feedback (BiSym scale), and controllable yoke rotation for therapeutic gait training and patient transfer assistance. Recent awards demonstrate both core equipment sales and ancillary procurement: a $26,495 sole-source purchase order from VA Network 16 (August 2026) for a LiteGait 500X system at Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana; a $34,245 award from VA Network 5 (August 2026) for a LiteGait 400X System and GaitKeeper S22 treadmill to Washington DC VA Medical Center; and a $27,245 delivery order from NIH Clinical Center (July 2025) for LiteGait 400 Deluxe systems and related unweighting equipment. The vendor also supplies treadmills, unweighting systems, rehabilitation harnesses, and incidental items such as iPads ($28,835 from VA Network 8, September 2024).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Networks. The top five customer nodes by both award count and combined potential value account for 31% of the vendor's recent dollars and serve primarily VA medical centers across geographically dispersed networks — VA Network 4, Network 15, Network 17, Network 21, and Network 8 — with the Army Medical Command representing the largest non-VA federal customer at five awards and $57 thousand combined potential value. The vendor has also served the NIH Clinical Center and, according to the source, the Indian Health Service in prior periods. No contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs appear in the source; all 60 awards are direct purchase orders.

Activity remains low and irregular over the five-year window cited: five awards in 2021, declining to one in 2024, then rising to four awards in 2026. Combined potential value across sixty awards totals $1.1 million, and the vendor has obligated the full amount across those awards, indicating consistent close-out of small purchase orders. Only two awards (combined potential value $49 thousand) have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure. Mobility Research Inc. has operated continuously as a federal vendor since 2004, competing entirely as a prime with no documented subcontract relationships. Recent sole-source justifications invoke 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 on the grounds of original-source availability and specialized-equipment status, signaling an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) posture in the VA health-services supply base.
