Stripes Global, Inc.

Stripes Global, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and SBA 8(a) Program Participant headquartered in Gig Harbor, Washington, supplies specialized medical, laboratory, and life science equipment and consumables to federal healthcare and research institutions exclusively as a prime contractor. The company is certified as a HUBZone firm, veteran-owned small business, and small disadvantaged business, and competes predominantly in full-and-open settings, though SDVOSB sole-source and set-aside awards recur across the footprint, accounting for a material share of recent contract value.

Stripes Global's capability portfolio centers on analytical laboratory instrumentation, medical gases and gas supply systems, pharmaceutical cleanroom and compounding equipment, and laboratory consumables and reagents. Representative work includes a $3.21 million SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 for a mobile pharmacy trailer for pharmaceutical compounding at Kansas City VA Medical Center (awarded April 1, 2026); a $2.34 million SDVOSB sole-source purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 for lease of a Germfree pharmacy cleanroom trailer in Summit, Oklahoma (awarded February 1, 2024); a $987.3 million SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 for medical gas cylinders and supply services to Loma Linda Healthcare System with 24/7 emergency response (awarded May 1, 2025); and a $1.25 million definitive contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 for a modular pharmacy cleanroom, awarded July 11, 2023. The company also delivers specialized diagnostic equipment—osmometers, erythrocyte sedimentation rate analyzers, flow cytometry systems, and genomic sequencing kits—to VA facilities across multiple VISNs, often under single-award indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements that enable efficient recurring procurement.

Customer concentration is extreme. The top five customer agencies account for 57% of combined potential value, dominated entirely by Veterans Affairs components. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 alone represents 80 awards ($10.8 million combined potential value), followed by Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (18 awards, $8.7 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (18 awards, $7.4 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (22 awards, $6.3 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (18 awards, $5.4 million). The top five VISNs account for 176 of 395 total awards (44% of awards). Outside VA, Stripes Global has placed work with the Indian Health Service, the Defense Health Agency, the CDC, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of the Interior, the Secret Service, the Department of the Air Force, and the Department of the Army, but VA represents approximately 85% of the award footprint by count. This concentration poses material recompete risk: thirteen awards with combined potential value of $6.2 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.

Stripes Global holds seven active parent vehicles anchoring recurring task-order flow. These include a $683.2 thousand blanket purchase agreement with Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 for cost-per-test automated erythrocyte sedimentation rate analyzers (May 1, 2026–April 30, 2031); a $475 thousand GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (47QSMS24D002L) covering analytical instruments issued February 6, 2024, through February 5, 2029, with recent delivery orders from Indian Health Service, Veterans Integrated Service Network 21, and Defense Health Agency; a $361.2 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 for ESR equipment and testing through May 31, 2028; an $800 thousand blanket purchase agreement with Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 for ALCOR ISED laboratory supplies and reagents through November 30, 2026; a $542.3 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 for CPRR flow cytometry products and services through March 12, 2027; a $557.5 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 for medical reagents (expired April 21, 2025); and a $108.3 thousand indefinite delivery contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 for liquid nitrogen through November 30, 2027. These vehicles distribute task-order activity across multiple VISNs and align with the company's core business model of supplying recurring consumables and equipment on an as-needed basis to VA healthcare networks.

Activity has declined materially. Awards per year fell from 34 in 2022 to 12 in 2026 (through July 15, 2026), reflecting a 65% year-over-year decline from 2022 through the most recent year measured. This trajectory suggests either a narrowing customer base or increased competition within existing VA relationships, though the recompete cliff shows only moderate exposure.

Service Contract Inventory data reveals minimal service-contract activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold. Stripes Global reported $1.4 million in SCI-invoiced revenue in FY2023 across 0.1 FTEs, with no reportable invoicing in FY2022 or FY2024. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the median government-paid hourly rate ran around $7,381 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $9,727 per hour, positioning the company in the specialized equipment and technical consulting tier. The company engaged named subcontractors on approximately 11% of contractor hours across prime contracts, though SCI coverage is limited and does not capture the full scale of subcontracting activity on goods and low-dollar-service orders that dominate the footprint.

Stripes Global operates as a 100% prime contractor across its award portfolio, with no sub-award positions in the source data. The company's model centers on direct equipment and consumables supply to VA facilities rather than subcontracting to larger primes. Product category concentration reinforces equipment manufacturing and supply: Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (174 awards), Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (52 awards), and Industrial Gas Manufacturing (51 awards) account for the majority of NAICS coding, with Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (149 awards) and Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (95 awards) dominating PSC-level concentration. The company's strategic positioning as a HUBZone-certified SDVOSB has enabled sole-source awards and set-aside opportunities on high-value mobile pharmacy and cleanroom equipment, particularly within Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 and Veterans Integrated Service Network 22, though the declining award rate and concentration risk suggest vulnerability to budget constraints or shift in VA procurement strategy.
