Nobel Biocare Usa, LLC

Nobel Biocare USA, LLC, a Brea, California-based manufacturer and distributor of dental implant systems, prosthetics, biomaterials, and surgical instruments, operates as a prime contractor supplying the Defense Logistics Agency Medical Supply Chain and Department of Veterans Affairs with high-volume, low-dollar delivery orders under full-and-open competition and Federal Supply Schedules. The company is a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation and competes entirely without set-asides.

Nobel Biocare operates across a hyperspecialized procurement footprint dominated by consumable and component-level dental products. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical accounts for 95 percent of recent awards by count—28,124 delivery orders—with a combined potential value of $138.1 million, though the vendor has obligated only $59.7 million against a potential ceiling of $10.4 billion across 30,147 awards since 1997. This concentration reflects the medical supply chain's reliance on recurring, rapid-turn procurement of individual dental implant components, surgical drills, abutments, cover screws, healing abutments, bone substitution biomaterials (CREOS XENOPROTECT, CYTOPLAST), and specialized instruments (Elos Accurate screwdrivers, guided drilling systems). Representative recent work includes delivery orders from April 2026 for NOBELACTIVE RP dental implants ($20,056.80), NOBELREPLACE conical connection components ($15,343.80), and NOBELPARALLEL CC RP dental systems. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 ranks second by potential value with $157.9 million across forty awards, including a substantial Federal Supply Schedule contract (65-II-C) awarded May 15, 2025, with an $82.2 million ceiling through May 14, 2030 for dental equipment and supplies; delivery orders under this vehicle in June and July 2025 demonstrate active use for OSSEOSET motors, surgical contra-angle handpieces, and irrigation tubing sets for veteran dental restoration across multiple VA regional service networks.

Nobel Biocare's vehicle posture centers on two high-volume indefinite delivery contracts and the DLA Medical Capital Equipment Program. The DLA Medical Capital Equipment Program generated 13,840 task orders ($19.9 million combined potential value), while indefinite delivery contract SPE2DE21D0031 carried 12,067 task orders ($19.7 million), and Federal Supply Schedule V797P3084M, a GSA vehicle, supported 937 task orders ($7.3 million). The vendor sits on multiple IDC vehicles with DLA, including SPE2DE21D7019 (1,116 task orders, $2 million), SPE2DE17D7056 (887 task orders, $1.6 million), and the VA Federal Supply Schedule noted above. Nearly all awards carry fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment clauses and completion dates within one to two weeks of award, reflecting the operational posture of federal medical supply procurement.

Award velocity declined sharply in the past five years: 3,036 awards in 2022 contracted to 883 in the year-to-date 2026 slice. This trajectory, combined with the recent $82.2 million VA FSS contract and heavy reliance on DLA's continuing Medical Capital Equipment Program orders, suggests that the traditional DLA transactional volume may face recompete risk, though the size and scope of individual orders (typically under $25,000) indicate that loss of any single delivery order carries limited financial exposure. The vendor's corporate structure as a Danaher subsidiary positions it within a diversified industrial conglomerate with established federal contracting infrastructure across life sciences and diagnostics.

Nobel Biocare's federal footprint is entirely captive to the Defense Logistics Agency Medical Supply Chain and VA regional service networks. No subcontractor relationships, cross-vendor teaming, or work with prime contractors appear in the source data. The company manufactures and ships to Brea, California, and operates under commercial-equivalent pricing terms on government contracts rather than cost-plus arrangements. The business model is high-touch logistics and inventory management for a large installed base of federal dental practitioners and clinical systems across military and veteran populations.
