Swanson Orthotic & Prosthetic Center, Inc.

Swanson Orthotic & Prosthetic Center, Inc., doing business as Novacare Prosthetics & Orthotics, manufactures and fits prosthetic limbs, orthotic appliances, and related repair services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on single-award blanket purchase agreements with no set-aside designation. The Toledo, Ohio–based for-profit medical device company operates exclusively through two VA customer relationships, both anchored to the VA Technology Acquisition Center and serving 61 VA Medical Centers and clinics across Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Swanson's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated by design. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 accounts for 22 awards (combined potential value $7.3 million), while the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin holds 4 awards (combined potential value $15 million) — together representing 100% of the vendor's recent award portfolio and 100% of its combined potential value. The two VA entities are operationally linked through the same parent BPAs; VISN 10 places task orders against the Technology Acquisition Center's master agreements.

Swanson holds two single-award BPAs with the VA Technology Acquisition Center. The primary vehicle, awarded July 29, 2022, carries a $15 million ten-year ceiling running through July 2032 for procurement, fabrication, fitting, adjustment, and repair of artificial limb appliances including below-knee prostheses, ankle joints, and custom sockets. A second BPA, awarded September 22, 2025, carries a $7 million ceiling through July 2026 for orthotic appliances under NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC 6515 (medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies). Recent calls against these BPAs include a $56,124 firm fixed-price call (May 2025) for prosthetic limbs, a $35,357 call (July 2022) for artificial limbs in Toledo through July 2032, and a $22,727 call (January 2025) for prosthetic limbs, sockets, and components. Twenty-five of twenty-six awards are coded under PSC 6515; the remainder falls under hospital operations.

Activity accelerated in 2025 with six awards year to date, compared to two in 2024 and one in 2023. Combined dollars obligated stand at $336 thousand against a combined potential value of $22.3 million, indicating early-stage utilization of the BPA ceilings. The vendor operates no subcontracting footprint and competes exclusively within full-and-open VA procurement channels without set-aside leverage.
