Steven Schaller Optician, LLC

Steven Schaller Optician, LLC, a Perrysburg, Ohio–based optical dispensing vendor, supplies prescription eyeglasses and vision care products to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a single-award indefinite-delivery contractor, competing under full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designation across 186 prime awards totaling $17.6 million in combined potential value.

Steven Schaller Optician operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with two customer agencies, both within the Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration system. Concentration is extreme: the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10) accounts for 76 awards and $17.2 million of the combined potential value (97% of the portfolio), with Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 contributing four awards and $25 thousand. The vendor's NAICS profile splits across Optical Goods Stores (20 awards), Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (36 awards), and Offices of Optometrists (8 awards), reflecting its optical retail and fulfillment posture. The top PSCs center on Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (59 awards) and Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies (47 awards).

The vendor holds four active indefinite-delivery contracts under VISN 10, the largest being an IDC with a $2.471 million ceiling awarded November 2, 2023, for Michigan dispensing services (ultimate completion July 31, 2025), followed by a $1.615 million IDC awarded August 1, 2025, for VISN 10 optical dispensing (ultimate completion April 30, 2026), and a $400,822.50 ceiling IDC awarded May 1, 2026, for Michigan dispensary services bridge (ultimate completion June 30, 2026). A fourth IDC with a $1.5 million ceiling (awarded September 27, 2021) expired October 26, 2022. Against these vehicles, Steven Schaller Optician has issued 19 task orders under its primary VISN 10 IDC (combined potential value $349 thousand), with individual delivery orders carrying low unit values—recent orders in the five hundred to six hundred dollar range—reflecting high-frequency, small-lot fulfillment of eyeglass prescriptions to veterans across Michigan and Indianapolis service areas.

Activity has been sparse in recent years: one award in 2021, one in 2023, two in 2025, and two in 2026. Only $1.2 million of the $17.6 million combined potential value has been obligated (7%), indicating that ceilings on the IDCs substantially exceed invoiced revenue to date. The vendor's market position is narrow and durable—a specialized optical dispensary locked into a single customer with multiple consecutive single-award IDC vehicles—with no sub-award footprint and no diversification across other federal agencies or contract vehicles.
