Strategic Medical Equipment Solutions, LLC

Strategic Medical Equipment Solutions, LLC (doing business as Smes) is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and veteran-owned small business based in Monument, Colorado that provides facility planning, medical equipment procurement, space planning, and healthcare facility activation and transition services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense as a prime contractor. Smes competes across both set-aside (SDVOSB-restricted) and full-and-open procurements, with SDVOSB designations appearing on roughly 60% of recent prime awards; the vendor holds SBA certifications as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business, both expiring February 11, 2027.

Smes's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Veterans Affairs system. The top five funding agencies account for 77% of recent awards by count, led by VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (11 awards, $20.4 million combined potential value), VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin (8 awards, $15.4 million), and VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 (7 awards, $14.2 million). However, dollar concentration is dramatically skewed by two large indefinite-delivery contracts: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville awarded a $720 million ceiling IDIQ on August 8, 2026, for Initial Outfitting and Transition (IO&T) Facilities Support Services across military healthcare construction and renewal sites in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Belgium, Germany, and other locations; and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region established a $75 million ceiling Blanket Purchase Agreement on June 17, 2025, for moving services across the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. These two vehicles alone represent 97% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards. Within the VA footprint, Smes holds a $7 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with VISN 9, awarded March 10, 2023, set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, for pre-planning, activation, and transitioning services supporting the new Louisville Medical Center. Recent representative work includes a $2.96 million SDVOSB delivery order issued January 21, 2025, for Louisville pre-planning and activation services; a $984 thousand SDVOSB purchase order issued January 21, 2025, from VISN 16 for pre-planning and activation of the Biloxi Healthcare Facility renovation; a $1.44 million SDVOSB purchase order issued December 15, 2023, from VISN 17 for initial outfitting and activation of the new Dallas VA Medical Center's Long Term Spinal Cord Injury unit; and a $1.75 million SDVOSB purchase order issued August 31, 2022, from VA Technology Acquisition Center for Bay Pines VA Medical Center renovation activation services.

Sics's activity has remained modest in recent years—two awards in 2022, five in 2023, and four each in 2024 and 2025—with six awards (combined potential value $6.8 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and facing recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontractor role in the source data. Smes holds active positions on a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (multiple award, issued March 27, 2023, through March 26, 2028, with a $200,000 ceiling) offering 12 labor categories spanning professional services, facility planning, and logistics roles, with hourly rates from $58.70 (AutoCAD/Revit Operator) to $177.12 (Project Director) and education requirements from associate to bachelor's degree; no security-cleared labor is offered. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures a narrow slice of the vendor's federal activity—$1.9 million total SCI-reportable invoicing across FY2022 through FY2024, with FY2022 representing the peak at $1.7 million across 17.4 FTEs. SCI median government-paid hourly rates run approximately $46.80 per hour, with the 90th percentile reaching $170.54 per hour. The vendor self-performs all labor on SCI-reportable contracts with zero subcontractor engagement.
