Optics Incorporated

Optics Incorporated, a for-profit small business based in Brunswick, Ohio, supplies ophthalmic diagnostic equipment, surgical instruments, and medical furniture to federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor exclusively on the GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies Schedule (FSS-65-II-A), with no recorded subcontract work. The vendor competes across both small-business set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders, though set-aside awards recur frequently across the portfolio.

Optics Incorporated manufactures and distributes a concrete range of vision-care and ophthalmic products: slit lamps (Haag-Streit, Marco, LED variants), autorefractors and keratometers (Topcon, Retinomax, Optochek Plus), tonometers and pachymeters (handheld and bench models), phoropters, ophthalmoscopes (direct and indirect, wireless), ophthalmic ultrasound systems, acuity systems (Reichert Clear Chart digital variants), optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems, examination chairs and refraction desks, instrument stands with lighting, and cryotherapy and retinal imaging equipment. Representative recent work includes a $318,408 delivery order from the Defense Health Agency on April 14, 2026, for Haag-Streit slit lamp and accessories at JBSA Fort Sam Houston; a $125,296.35 small-business set-aside purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 on July 9, 2024, for a full ophthalmology exam lane package; and a $190,648 delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 on January 30, 2023, for eye lane equipment at the VA Maplewood Clinic.

Customer concentration centers on the Department of Veterans Affairs at the Veterans Integrated Service Network level. The top five customer entities by award count account for 27% of recent awards, with Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 leading at 131 awards ($5.9 million combined potential value), followed by the Indian Health Service (86 awards, $1.3 million), the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (79 awards, $1.4 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (73 awards, $3 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (72 awards, $5 million). Dollar concentration is distinct: Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 anchors the top position by potential value at $10.6 million across 51 awards, with Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 and Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 following. The vendor has worked with 88 distinct customer agencies total, including the Defense Health Agency, Indian Health Service, Bureau of Prisons facilities, federal correctional institutions, the Air Force, Army Medical Command, and the NIH Clinical Center.

Optics Incorporated operates almost entirely through the GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies Schedule (FSS-65-II-A), where 1,311 delivery and purchase orders and one task order carry $46.6 million in combined potential value. The two other named parent vehicles (Indefinite Delivery Contracts 541A17078 and 541A17082) each account for a single task order and appear to be subordinate to the GSA schedule vehicle. All recent award activity flows through the GSA schedule; there is no indication of participation in GWACs, agency-specific IDIQs, or BPAs outside the GSA framework.

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor received 32 awards in 2022, 35 in 2023, 20 in 2024, 13 in 2025, and 2 in the first half of 2026. The 1,608 awards in the source carry a combined potential value of $59.8 million, with $50 million obligated (84% realization). Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, with a potential value of $61 thousand — minimal recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a 100% prime (no recorded subcontract activity) and holds no federal set-aside designations beyond small-business eligibility on individual delivery orders.

Portfolio concentration by NAICS shows ophthalmic goods manufacturing as the primary category (1,139 awards), with surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing a distant second (196 awards). By PSC code, medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies dominate (812 awards), followed by ophthalmic instruments, equipment, and supplies (518 awards). The vendor has maintained a SAM.gov registration since September 2001 and operates from a fixed location in Brunswick, Ohio, serving as the place of performance for most orders.
