Philips North America LLC

Philips North America LLC, operating through its Philips Research division and doing business as Philips Research North America, is a foreign-owned subsidiary of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. that supplies medical imaging equipment, healthcare technology maintenance services, and research and development support to federal agencies as a prime contractor. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no small business set-asides; it operates in the federal healthcare and research market primarily through original-equipment-manufacturer maintenance agreements and equipment supply contracts.

Philips Research North America is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with work performed at multiple VA facilities nationwide and at NIH research centers. The company's federal capability portfolio centers on maintenance and support for proprietary medical imaging systems—magnetic resonance imaging scanners, computed tomography systems, digital telepathology platforms, and ultrasound equipment—alongside physiological monitoring hardware, patient monitoring software subscriptions, and clinical training services. Recent representative contract work includes a $6.78 million firm fixed-price BPA call (April 2026) from the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick for digital telepathology scanner and image management software maintenance serving VA Medical Centers nationwide, a $839,038.40 BPA call (May 2026) for telepathology scanner maintenance and support, and a $307,266.50 firm fixed-price purchase order (March 2023) from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for maintenance of Philips 3T magnetic resonance and PET/CT systems at the Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The top five VA organizations account for 75% of all awards in the source data. The Department of Veterans Affairs National Acquisition Center places the largest volume—358 awards carrying $85.9 million in combined potential value—primarily through the DLA-VA NAC Radiology and Imaging Systems Program, a single indefinite delivery contract vehicle. Veterans Integrated Service Networks 12, 10, 20, 6, and 19 represent the next tier of VA customers, collectively accounting for another significant share of awards and dollars. Outside the VA, Philips Research North America works with the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and other NIH component agencies on medical equipment maintenance and research support.

The company's primary vehicle position is the DLA-VA NAC Radiology and Imaging Systems Program, which alone carries 833 task orders valued at $198.1 million in combined potential value. A single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick (ceiling $6.78 million, award date April 2, 2026, ultimate completion April 1, 2031) anchors near-term digital telepathology work. Eleven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $78.8 million and represent the recompete exposure window.

Activity has remained flat to modest in recent years—one award in 2022, eight in 2023, six in 2024, and seven each in 2025 and 2026—consistent with the company's role as an established OEM maintenance provider rather than a growth-stage contractor. Across the 910 total awards in the source data (dating back to 1981), Philips Research North America holds 100% prime awards; three grant sub-awards to the University of Washington and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center represent collaboration on imaging methodology development for clinical oncology research. The company's NAICS profile is dominated by Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing (834 awards) and Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (14 awards), with PSC concentration in Medical Imaging Equipment and Supplies (579 awards) and equipment maintenance codes (210 awards). Combined potential value across all awards totals $351.9 million, with $322.3 million obligated.
