Northern Orthotics And Prosthetic Services Corporation

Northern Orthotics And Prosthetic Services Corporation, doing business as Northern Orthotic And Prosthetic Center, manufactures and delivers custom prosthetic limbs and orthotics to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside designations. The vendor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Duluth, Minnesota, operating as a for-profit corporate entity under primary NAICS 326991 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing).

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in VA prosthetics procurement. Across eighty prime awards spanning the past two decades, the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 accounts for 84% of awards and 99% of combined potential value—61 awards carrying $16.7 million in combined potential value. Three additional VA VISNs (VISN 12, VISN 10) and a single Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons award round out the customer set. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor; no subcontract work appears in the source.

Northern Orthotic And Prosthetic Center delivers prosthetic limbs, partial hand prostheses, and artificial limbs to injured veterans through standing blanket purchase agreements and purchase order task orders. Recent representative awards include a $17,279 purchase order from VISN 23 for custom prosthetic solutions (awarded May 2026, completing April 2027), a $14,223 BPA call from VISN 23 for prosthetic limbs (awarded February 2024), and a $12,137 purchase order from VISN 23 for artificial limbs (awarded July 2024). Work is performed in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The vendor places task orders under three parent VA vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement VA26317A0055 (24 task orders, $376 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract VA263P0271 (18 task orders, $181 thousand combined potential value), and Indefinite Delivery Contract V618P4514A (6 task orders, $93 thousand combined potential value). Recent activity has flattened markedly—six awards in 2022, three in 2023, seven in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 through May—suggesting either a temporary tracking gap or reduced ordering velocity from the VA. Only one award (carrying $17 thousand in potential value) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's combined potential value across all eighty awards stands at $16.9 million, with only $881 thousand obligated to date, reflecting the typical VA prosthetics procurement pattern of small task orders drawn against standing vehicles.
