Philips North America LLC

Philips North America LLC, operating through its Philips Research Division as Philips Research North America, sells medical imaging equipment, patient monitoring systems, and related maintenance and support services to federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor is a foreign-owned subsidiary of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and competes in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurement. It does not hold SBA certifications or designations.

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in medical device supply and maintenance work. Philips North America delivers advanced imaging equipment including MRI systems, CT scanners, PET systems, ultrasound systems, and proprietary software platforms such as IntelliSpace and IntelliVue patient monitoring infrastructure. Representative work includes a $6.78 million Blanket Purchase Agreement call from the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick for digital telepathology scanner maintenance and support serving VA Medical Centers nationwide (April 2026, ultimate completion April 2, 2027); a $368.7 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for renewal of maintenance services covering a 3T MRI, PET/CT system, and uninterruptible power supply systems at the Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick, Maryland (March 18, 2023); and a $195 thousand purchase order from the NIH Clinical Center for MR software subscriptions (September 1, 2024).

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Veterans Affairs dominates the award footprint: the VA National Acquisition Center alone accounts for 358 awards valued at $85.9 million (38% of combined potential value across all recent awards), while five VA Veterans Integrated Service Networks collectively represent 326 awards and $78.3 million. Together, VA awards account for approximately 75% of all awards. The remaining 25% splits across NIH Clinical Center, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Eye Institute, and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, with no single non-VA agency accounting for more than a handful of awards. This concentration reflects Philips' position as an original equipment manufacturer whose proprietary medical systems create lock-in demand for sole-source maintenance and support work.

Philips' primary vehicle position is the DLA-VA NAC Radiology and Imaging Systems Program, an Indefinite Delivery Contract under which it has placed 833 task orders carrying $198.1 million in combined potential value. The vendor also holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (36C10X26A0004) for digital telepathology system maintenance with 2 task orders valued at $7.6 million combined. Three additional Navy Indefinite Delivery Contracts carry minimal activity (one task order each).

Activity volume is modest in recent years. Between 2022 and 2026, the vendor received 32 awards (1, 8, 6, 7, and 10 respectively per year), with 913 total awards spanning back to 1981 in the source data. The combined potential value across all awards is $352.2 million, with $320.7 million obligated (91% realization). Critically, eight awards with combined potential value of $78.5 million carry ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to significant recompete activity, particularly on VA telepathology and imaging maintenance orders.

Philips operates as a 100% prime contractor (910 prime awards, 3 sub-awards). The sub-award footprint is minimal and limited to grant work: the vendor subcontracts to the University of Washington and University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center on NIH-funded research programs involving MRI methodology development and imaging biomarker studies for renal oncology and hepatocellular carcinoma treatment, with sub-award dates in 2023 and 2024.

The vendor holds no federal research grant positions as a prime recipient; all grant exposure occurs through subcontracting to academic institutions on NIH-funded awards. The parent vendor, Philips RS North America LLC (UEI KKUMFAXFJ2M7), carries substantially larger federal contract volume and is classified as a manufacturer of goods, suggesting broader equipment manufacturing operations beyond the Research Division.
