Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corp

Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corp, a foreign-owned manufacturer of urological, surgical, and endoscopic medical devices headquartered in Vernon Hills, Illinois, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized medical equipment and maintenance services to federal healthcare agencies on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designation. The company manufactures high-end surgical instruments including cystoscopes, ureterorenoscopes, morcellation systems, hysteroscopes, nephroscopes, and laparoscopic equipment, along with fluid management systems and diagnostic cameras used in urology, endoscopy, and minimally invasive surgery.

Richard Wolf has accumulated 1,147 prime awards totaling $45.8 million in combined potential value over its federal contracting history dating to 1981, with $26.2 million obligated across the portfolio. Recent activity has declined—13 awards in 2022 to 3 in 2026 year-to-date—and only 4 awards totaling $1.8 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating limited recompete exposure. Representative recent work includes a $1.45 million multi-year endoscopy maintenance contract with the Defense Health Agency at Fort Stewart, Georgia (awarded June 2022, running through June 2027); a $287.97 thousand Indian Health Service delivery order for laparoscopic equipment (September 2023); a $236.30 thousand emergency-recall delivery order with VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 for a camera controller bundle with sensors (March 2025); and recurring Piranha morcellation system and HOLEP instrument orders across multiple VA regional networks ranging from $25 thousand to $111 thousand per delivery order.

Customer concentration is substantial and skewed toward the VA system. The top five customer agencies account for 77 percent of combined potential value: VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 leads with 107 awards and $24 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army Medical Command (68 awards, $4.8 million), the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (154 awards, $3.2 million), the Indian Health Service (29 awards, $1.8 million), and the Defense Health Agency (12 awards, $1.6 million). The VA system accounts for a plurality of dollar value despite lower award volume at the Navy, reflecting larger order values in the VA's surgical equipment and maintenance programs.

Richard Wolf operates exclusively under the GSA Schedule Medical Equipment and Supplies contract (FSS-65-II-A), which carries 535 task orders worth $18.4 million in combined potential value. All 1,147 awards are delivery orders or purchase orders issued directly by federal customer organizations against this GSA Schedule vehicle; the company does not appear on other GWACs, IDIQs, or agency-wide BPAs in the source data. The company's work falls almost entirely within NAICS 334516 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing, 675 awards) and PSC Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (852 awards), with a secondary stream in equipment repair and maintenance services (160 awards under PSC maint/repair/rebuild categories).

Richard Wolf does not subcontract; all 1,147 awards are prime work with no documented sub-award activity. The company competes in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations, relying on its GSA Schedule position and direct relationships with VA regional networks and other federal health agencies. Revenue posture appears to be brand-driven—the source notes consistent supplier status since 2001—centered on proprietary product lines such as Piranha morcellation systems and sensor-equipped ureterorenoscopes that command specification or limited-competition delivery orders across the VA system's 23 regional networks. The concentration in VA maintenance contracts and recurring small-to-medium equipment orders suggests a stable but mature customer base with limited growth trajectory and heavy dependence on annual VA procurement cycles and equipment refresh cycles across individual VISNs.
