Red Heritage Medical LLC

Red Heritage Medical LLC, a Native American-owned small business operating as a Subchapter S corporation and sole proprietorship based in Arab, Alabama (with business operations cited in Knoxville, Tennessee), is a prime contractor supplying medical devices, surgical instruments, dental equipment, and laboratory supplies to the Indian Health Service under Buy Indian Act set-asides and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise designations. The company holds registrations as an Indian Economic Enterprise, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, Minority Owned Business, and Self Certified Small Disadvantaged Business, and competes exclusively under federal set-aside programs reserved for Native American-owned enterprises.

Red Heritage Medical's customer base is concentrated almost entirely within the IHS. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service accounts for 175 of 176 awards (99.4% of the award count) and $25.4 million of the combined potential value, with a single Army Medical Command award worth $30 thousand representing the only non-IHS prime work in the source data. This extreme concentration reflects the vendor's strategic positioning as an incumbent medical supplier within the IHS procurement ecosystem.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on procurement and delivery of branded medical supplies and equipment to IHS facilities. Representative work includes a $4.8 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for PAO Wide Dental Supplies (issued March 31, 2025, extending through March 31, 2030) that has generated 17 task orders across multiple IHS service units for dental instruments, supplies, and equipment; a $1 million multiple-award BPA for orthopedic and podiatry surgical supplies (issued August 27, 2025, extending through August 25, 2030) supporting the Phoenix Indian Medical Center and Whiteriver Service Unit; and a $1.43 million fixed-price contract for a Hologic 3Dimension mammography system with preventative maintenance at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center (awarded September 24, 2023, extending through February 28, 2029). Smaller task orders cover laboratory supplies, hysteroscopic equipment, surgical screws and plates, dental instruments and cassettes, personal protective equipment, and medical furniture delivered to individual IHS facilities in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nevada, California, and other states. The vendor also fulfills preventative maintenance contracts on diagnostic imaging equipment, including a $363.5 thousand mammography maintenance agreement at Lawton Indian Health (awarded May 16, 2024, extending through May 19, 2028).

Activity has remained steady and relatively level across the past five years (28 awards in 2022, 30 in 2023, 29 in 2024, 31 in 2025, and 14 through mid-2026), with combined potential value across all 176 awards reaching $25.4 million and obligated dollars at $14.1 million (55% of potential value). The recompete cliff shows 17 awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and combined potential value of $2.8 million at risk. The top five parent vehicles are Blanket Purchase Agreements, all issued by the IHS: vehicle 75H71225A00002 with 17 task orders and $2.7 million combined potential value; vehicle 75H71219A00004 with 14 task orders and $977 thousand combined potential value; vehicle 75H71225A00017 with 5 task orders and $450 thousand combined potential value; and two smaller vehicles with combined value under $200 thousand. The work distributes across NAICS codes centered on surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing (60 awards), surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (46 awards), and dental equipment and supplies manufacturing (28 awards), with PSC concentration in medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies (121 awards) and dental instruments, equipment, and supplies (27 awards).

Red Heritage Medical holds no subcontractor relationships and operates exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor's entire award footprint rests on single-customer dependency (IHS) and set-aside procurement vehicles, creating a business model closely aligned with federal Buy Indian program objectives and Native American healthcare facility supply chains.
