Pentax Of America, Inc.

Pentax Of America, Inc. Pentax Medical Division, a foreign-owned manufacturer of endoscopy solutions headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey, operates as a prime contractor supplying specialized medical diagnostic imaging equipment and maintenance services to 58 federal agencies across the VA health system, Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, Defense Health Agency, and Department of Defense. The vendor does not pursue federal work under set-aside categories; all recent awards carry full-and-open competitive designations, reflecting Pentax Medical's market position as a specialized provider of equipment where competition is limited to firms with technical capability in endoscopic manufacturing.

Pentax Medical's federal footprint concentrates in endoscopy equipment and related services — video gastroscopes, colonoscopes, nasolaryngoscopes, bronchoscopes, video processors, digital imaging systems, and maintenance and repair services. Representative prime work includes a $3.67 million firm fixed-price delivery order from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 awarded February 1, 2024, for a five-year lease of gastrointestinal endoscope equipment and service to Buffalo VA Medical Center; a $749.6 thousand delivery order from VISN 4 dated March 1, 2023, for GI scope lease and maintenance services in Pittsburgh; a $357.7 thousand purchase order from VISN 2 dated October 1, 2023, for Pentax scope service and maintenance through September 2028; and a $186.5 thousand definitive contract from VISN 2 dated March 1, 2024, for maintenance and repair of owned GI scopes at Buffalo VA Medical Center through February 2027.

Customer concentration tracks heavily toward VA network divisions. The top five customers by potential-value share 71% of combined potential value across the portfolio: VA VISN 12 alone anchors $71.8 million across 21 awards, followed by VA VISN 2 ($19.4 million, 83 awards), VA VISN 22 ($14.2 million, 76 awards), VA VISN 4 ($8 million, 36 awards), and the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ($7.9 million, 141 awards). By award count, the top five cover only 30% of awards but include Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical with 127 awards valued at $886 thousand — many of these small consumables orders at single-digit or three-digit dollar values (cleaning brushes, capping materials, leak testers). The vendor's dollars are anchored in VA lease and equipment delivery orders; volume is driven by small supply and consumables buys from DLA and other supply-chain entities.

Pentax Medical places nearly all work through two parent vehicles: the Federal Supply Schedule V797P4389A (855 task orders, $45.9 million combined potential value) and the GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies schedule (172 task orders, $43.8 million combined potential value). A small Blanket Purchase Agreement with VA (11 task orders, $3.8 million) rounds out the vehicle portfolio. The vendor holds a $23 million multi-award IDIQ Federal Supply Schedule contract for Medical Equipment and Supplies (FSS-65-II-A) awarded by GSA in November 2020, expiring in November 2025; this vehicle is the primary acquisition channel for VA agencies and other federal healthcare customers placing delivery orders for endoscopy equipment and services.

Activity has remained flat to slightly declining year over year — 16 awards in 2022, 17 in 2023, 17 in 2024, 13 in 2025, and 16 through September 2026 — suggesting a mature, stable market position without significant growth trajectory. The combined potential value of awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months stands at $1.2 million across 10 awards, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. NAICS and PSC framing confirms the vendor's role: 1,131 awards under Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (NAICS 339112), 985 awards under Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (PSC 6525), and 184 awards under maintenance and repair of medical equipment. Pentax Medical operates almost entirely as a prime (1,610 of 1,613 awards), with only three sub-awards on record — all three to Cardinal Health 200, LLC dated July and August 2022, for post-table retractor supplies. The vendor's subcontract footprint is negligible; it sources internally or through direct suppliers rather than teaming arrangements.
