Next Step Bionics And Prosthetics Inc.

Next Step Bionics And Prosthetics Inc., doing business as Formotion Clinic, manufactures and delivers customized artificial limbs, bionic prosthetic technologies, orthotic appliances, and related rehabilitation services as a prime contractor exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs, competing without set-asides in an unrestricted federal market.

Next Step Bionics is a foreign-owned, for-profit organization headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire, with additional operations in Flint, Michigan and other northeastern locations. The company operates under primary NAICS code 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing) and primary PSC 6515 (medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies). As a specialized prosthetics and orthotics manufacturer, the vendor competes full-and-open across its entire footprint with no SBA set-aside posture.

Customer concentration is extreme and represents a single-customer dependency. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VISN 1) accounts for 631 awards and $43.4 million of the combined potential value across the vendor's 736-award portfolio—87% of awards by count and 98% of dollars by potential value. VISN 1 serves Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Michigan. Peripheral awards from VA VISNs 17, 7, and 6, plus VA Headquarters, total fewer than 10 awards and under $100 thousand combined potential value. Place of performance spans multiple northeastern medical centers and outpatient facilities, with recent task orders directed to Manchester, Boston, Brockton, Providence, White River Junction, Jamaica Plain, Newtonville, and North Providence.

Next Step Bionics holds four active indefinite delivery vehicles with VISN 1 through October 2029: a $500 thousand Blanket Purchase Agreement for orthotic appliances (awarded November 2024); a $300 thousand multiple-award BPA for artificial limbs and prosthetic repair services (awarded January 2024, extending through January 2029); a single-award BPA of $8,330.11 for prosthetics and artificial limbs (awarded August 2023, expired February 2024); and a single-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with a $249 thousand ceiling (awarded March 2023, expired August 2023). The two active vehicles through 2029 carry combined potential value exceeding $800 thousand. Task orders issued under these IDVs range from approximately $5,000 to $113,686.43 and are structured as firm fixed-price calls without set-asides. Recent representative calls include a $113,686.43 delivery order for artificial limbs issued April 16, 2025 under the $300 thousand BPA; a $52,147.66 call issued September 16, 2024; a $51,481.66 call issued November 20, 2024; and numerous smaller calls between $9,900 and $53,000 across the VISN 1 geographic footprint.

Award activity has averaged approximately 40 awards per year over the past five years (2022 through 2026 year-to-date). The vendor issued 49 awards in 2024 and 33 in 2025, with only 5 awards recorded in 2026 through late June—a fraction of the typical quarterly rate, likely reflecting the source snapshot window rather than sustained decline. The combined potential value across all 736 awards totals $44.3 million, with $12.5 million obligated to date (28% of potential value). Two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $123 thousand, representing minimal recompete exposure relative to the overall IDV ceiling and ordering velocity.

Work performed across all delivery orders centers on customized prosthetic devices, artificial limbs (below-knee, above-knee, and bionic knees), orthotic appliances and braces, diabetic shoes, compression garments, inserts, supports, and comprehensive repair and maintenance services. All work is delivered directly to veteran facilities and outpatient clinics within VISN 1 without identified subcontractors. The vendor's performance under these contracts has generated sustained ordering over two decades; first awards in the source data date to April 2002, and the vendor has held continuous VISN 1 relationships through the present.
