About the company
Starkey Laboratories Inc., headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, manufactures and supplies customized prescription hearing aids, wireless hearing systems, diagnostic instruments, hearing aid earmolds, and comprehensive repair and accessory services to the federal government as a prime contractor. The company competes exclusively full-and-open, holding no SBA set-aside certifications. Starkey operates as a large for-profit organization with subsidiary Micro Ear Technology, Inc. and delivers hearing healthcare solutions across NAICS codes 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing), 5047 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), and related repair categories, with primary PSC coding under Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies.
Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (VA VISN 19) accounts for 655 awards and $6.59 billion in combined potential value — roughly 93% of Starkey's federal portfolio. The Indian Health Service holds 224 awards valued at $12.9 million combined, the Department of the Army Medical Command 10 awards at $2.2 million, and other VA service networks rounding out the customer set. This concentration reflects Starkey's role as the dominant federal supplier for hearing aids and hearing healthcare services to veterans, military personnel, and Native American populations served by the Indian Health Service.
Starkey holds three cornerstone IDIQ vehicles: a $4 billion single-award indefinite-delivery contract with VA VISN 19 awarded May 1, 2025, extending through April 30, 2030, for customized prescription hearing aid devices, wireless systems, diagnostic instruments, earmolds, and repair services, designated as GSA Best in Class and awarded as sole-source under Title 41 U.S.C. 3304 following market research confirming that only the original manufacturer can perform repairs on proprietary Starkey devices; a $150 million single-award IDIQ with VA VISN 19 awarded December 1, 2025, through May 31, 2031, for hearing aid parts and accessories; and a $35 million single-award IDIQ with VA VISN 19 awarded December 1, 2023, extending through November 30, 2025, for hearing aid repairs and accessories (the $35 million vehicle is approaching recompete). A $960,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Indian Health Service, awarded June 30, 2025, and extending through April 30, 2030, covers hearing aid supplies and repair services for the Phoenix Indian Medical Center Audiology Department. Monthly delivery orders under the primary $4 billion VA VISN 19 IDIQ have ranged from approximately $4.6 million to $8.4 million throughout 2025, with a recent $19.9 million purchase order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for SoundGear Phantom custom active hearing protection awarded September 22, 2026, for delivery through September 21, 2027.
Activity shows year-over-year relative stability (2022–2026: 22, 34, 29, 33, and 6 awards respectively; the 2026 count reflects partial-year data as of mid-October). Two awards totaling $20.2 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. SCI-reported invoicing for federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $27 million across FY2022 through FY2024 (FY2022: $6 million, FY2023: $12 million, FY2024: $9 million, FY2025: $0), with workforce scale averaging 8.5 to 101 FTEs on SCI-reportable contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on prime records ranged from a 10th percentile of $32.28/hr to a median of $43.56/hr, with senior-level labor pricing through the 90th percentile at $171.76/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractor hours share averaged 0%, indicating Starkey builds and delivers its own service teams without subcontractor engagement on this subset of work. The vendor operates as the prime contractor across all identified federal awards, with no subcontractors identified in the award portfolio.
Starkey's federal footprint is anchored to hearing healthcare delivery for the VA and IHS, with secondary exposure through Army Medical Command. The company competes and wins exclusively without set-asides, reflecting its scale, sole-source justification grounded in proprietary device repair capability, and established position as the original manufacturer of the hearing aid devices the government procures. Recompete risk on the $35 million VISN 19 repairs-and-accessories IDIQ surfaces in the next twenty-four months as that vehicle approaches November 30, 2025 completion.
