Surgical Tools, Inc.

Surgical Tools, Inc., doing business as Surgical Tools Inc., is a small disadvantaged business subsidiary of Practical Medical Devices, LLC that supplies medical and surgical instruments, endoscopic equipment, sterilization systems, and specialized diagnostic devices to federal healthcare agencies as a prime contractor. The company operates from Bedford, Virginia and competes predominantly full-and-open on GSA Federal Supply Schedules, with some task orders designated Total Small Business set-aside; the vendor does not hold 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other SBA certifications beyond small disadvantaged business status.

The portfolio spans 1,764 prime awards with $162.6 million in combined potential value across the past two decades, with $46.1 million obligated to date. Activity has declined sharply — from 26 awards in 2022 to 8 awards in 2026 — signaling either market contraction or a shift in ordering patterns toward larger, less-frequent task orders. The vendor's capability footprint centers on endoscope reprocessors (Medivator and PASS-THRU systems), endoscopic drying cabinets (Endodry line), sterilization and cleaning supplies, ferromagnetic detection systems, and commodity surgical instruments including scalpels, nail nippers, mirrors, and examination chairs. Representative recent work includes a $253 thousand endoscope reprocessor replacement system (three reprocessors, one sterilizer, installation, and training) awarded by Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 under Total Small Business set-aside in June 2026; a $100.7 thousand Medivators Advantage Plus automated endoscope reprocessor for Northport VAMC from VISN 2 in August 2026 under no set-aside; and a $75.7 thousand order for Ferralert metal detectors from VISN 6 in August 2026 on the Medical Equipment and Supplies schedule.

The customer base is concentrated in the Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system across multiple VISNs. By award count, VISN 6 leads with 59 awards ($4.4 million combined potential value), followed by the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (53 awards, $1.8 million) and Indian Health Service (49 awards, $2 million). By potential value, however, VISN 12 dominates with 34 awards worth $45.3 million combined — roughly 28% of the entire portfolio — with VISN 6, VISN 17, VISN 10, and VISN 16 forming a second tier. This concentration reflects the vendor's deep embed in VA endoscopy and sterilization procurement; the top five customer agencies by potential value account for 37% of dollars across 59 distinct federal agencies served.

Surgical Tools sits on three primary parent vehicles. The GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies Federal Supply Schedule (FSS-65-II-A), a multi-award schedule, carries 472 task orders worth $99.8 million combined potential value — the vendor's dominant platform. A second GSA Federal Supply Schedule designated V797P4092A has generated 985 task orders worth $14.9 million, indicating high-volume, lower-dollar ordering for commodity medical supplies. The GSA Dental Equipment and Supplies schedule (FSS-65-II-C), awarded September 2022 with $439 thousand ceiling and evergreen status through 2042, carries 56 task orders valued at $1.7 million. A Veterans Health Administration Blanket Purchase Agreement for medical/surgical prime vendor items (MSPV) running through July 2030 completes the IDV footprint. Across all vehicles, recompete exposure is minimal — only four awards with combined potential value of $220 thousand complete in the next twenty-four months.

The vendor does not perform subcontract work; all 1,764 awards are prime contracts or delivery orders. The parent company, Practical Medical Devices, LLC, anchors the structure; multiple award summaries reference Surgical Tools as a subsidiary, though the source does not detail subsidiary governance or distinct operational divisions. By NAICS and PSC, 1,566 of the 1,764 awards (89%) fall under Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing, with 1,555 classified under the Medical And Surgical Instruments PSC — a tight capability focus. The recent three-year decline in award velocity (from 26 in 2022 to 8 in 2026) warrants monitoring; it may reflect consolidation of vendor relationships at specific VISNs, market saturation in endoscopy equipment, or shift to larger bundled procurements that appear less frequently in the award stream.

Surgical Tools, Inc. is a small disadvantaged business that has been a government vendor since 1991. Surgical Tools supplies a broad range of high quality medical surgical and dental products as well as specialized new technology to government healthcare facilities.
