T F Herceg, Inc.

T F Herceg, Inc., doing business as Surehands Lift & Care Systems, manufactures and delivers ceiling lifts, overhead lifts, patient lift systems, and related mobility assistance equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations across its entire portfolio.

Surehands Lift & Care Systems is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Pine Island, New York. The company operates with no SBA set-aside certifications and competes in unrestricted federal procurements. Its core business centers on specialized medical equipment manufacturing—specifically motorized ceiling lifts, overhead lift systems, patient transfer devices, prosthetic mobility equipment, and related installation services. The company's federal footprint is dominated by Veterans Affairs work, with 3,022 awards across 20 distinct federal agencies over the past three decades, though the Department of Veterans Affairs represents the overwhelming concentration of recent activity.

Recent work demonstrates the company's narrow, focused capability. Representative recent delivery orders include a $89,917.89 order from VISN 21 in January 2026 for three prosthetics ceiling lifts; a $53,152.55 order from VISN 21 in March 2025 for prosthetics ceiling motor and lift equipment; a $51,416.04 order from VISN 16 in November 2025 for prosthetic equipment; and a $47,404.01 order from VISN 21 in November 2025 for prosthetics ceiling lift equipment. Typical individual task orders range from $10,000 to $70,000, reflecting the specialized, equipment-specific nature of the work. All recent awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders with no set-aside designation, indicating the vendor competes successfully against unrestricted vendor pools.

Customer concentration is extreme and bifurcated. By award count, VISN 8 (406 awards), VISN 20 (323 awards), VISN 22 (257 awards), VISN 6 (247 awards), and VISN 21 (240 awards) represent 1,473 of 3,022 total awards—49% by count but yielding only $20.8 million of the $90.7 million combined potential value. By dollar magnitude, VISN 12 dominates with 46 awards carrying $50.9 million combined potential value—68% of the total—despite representing only 1.5% of award count. This disparity signals either a small number of large single procurements with VISN 12 or aggregation of high-value orders under that VISN umbrella. The remaining four dollar leaders (VISN 8, 20, 22, and 21) collectively account for only $16.7 million despite 1,226 awards.

The vendor operates primarily through the GSA Federal Supply Schedule Medical Equipment and Supplies contract (FSS-65-II-A), which carries a $22 million ceiling value awarded on September 1, 2020. This vehicle anchors 2,499 of the 3,022 awards—83% of the portfolio. Task orders flow from multiple VA Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23) and subordinate regional networks, making the FSS schedule the primary contracting mechanism. A secondary vehicle, Federal Supply Schedule V797P4058A, generated 65 task orders worth $1.1 million. The FSS-65-II-A schedule contract runs through August 31, 2025—a recompete deadline now overdue or recently renewed—and requires re-evaluation of vehicle status and continued eligibility.

Activity has remained flat to declining in recent years. Awards per year decreased from 246 in 2024 to 210 in 2025 to only 46 through mid-July 2026. Forty-one awards face ultimate completion within the next 24 months, carrying combined potential value of $819 thousand—a relatively small recompete exposure relative to the vendor's base portfolio, though the VISN 12 concentration and FSS contract recompete dynamics may present significant pipeline risk if the schedule vehicle is not renewed or if that single high-value VISN pauses procurement.

The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor—3,022 awards (100%) are prime positions with zero subcontract activity in the source data. No teaming relationships, sub-arrangements, or subordinate contractor footprint appears in recent federal records. The company manufactures its own products and delivers directly to VA medical facilities nationwide, with place-of-performance distributed across Pine Island, New York (headquarters and manufacturing), Palo Alto and San Francisco, California, and multiple other VA facility locations.

Surehands Lift & Care Systems competes in full-and-open procurements exclusively. Across the entire portfolio, zero awards carry set-aside designations (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other), and all recent task orders explicitly document "No Set-Aside Used" status. The vendor has positioned itself as a general-market competitor in specialized medical equipment, with no minority ownership, veteran ownership, or disadvantaged business certifications leveraging federal preference.

The company's NAICS concentration (2,704 of 3,022 awards under Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing—NAICS 339113) and PSC concentration (2,807 awards under Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies—PSC 6515) reinforce a tightly bounded specialty. The vendor has not branched into adjacent service areas, professional services, support contracts, or non-medical hardware over its three decades of federal activity. Recent obligated dollars of $40 million against $90.7 million potential value indicate a historically high rate of task order execution and spending realization, suggesting sustained demand and vendor performance credibility within the VA system despite flat recent award trends.
