United Drug Supply Inc.

United Drug Supply Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Morrisville, North Carolina, supplies pharmaceutical products, diagnostic equipment, medical consumables, and wound care materials to federal healthcare networks as a prime contractor, with 100% of awards issued as prime contracts. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements (no set-aside designation on the majority of recent awards) and holds a Subchapter S Corporation structure registered as a woman-owned business.

United Drug Supply Inc. delivers concrete medical supply categories grounded in its federal award portfolio: surgical lubricants (Surgilube), blood glucose monitoring devices (True Metrix, Prodigy), wound dressings (Dynarex L-Mesitran honey wound dressing), injectable pharmaceuticals (Sumatriptan), and diagnostic test strips and control solutions. Representative prime work includes a $289,027 purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs for Sumatriptan injectable syringes (awarded September 2, 2025), a $1,152 delivery order from the Defense Logistics Agency Medical Supply Chain for Dynarex Honey Wound Dressing (June 20, 2025), and a $2.035 million Federal Supply Schedule contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 for Medical Equipment and Supplies through February 2030. The vendor also holds sub positions with Cardinal Health 200, LLC on medical/surgical equipment supply contracts.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense Logistics Agency. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 92% of all awards. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical dominates by volume (1,548 awards) but represents only $4.3 million in combined potential value—a stark divergence indicating frequent, small-dollar delivery orders. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 anchors most of the dollar value ($49.6 million across 82 awards), followed by VISN 15 ($23.5 million across 230 awards) and VISN 9 ($16.3 million across 90 awards). The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response carries three awards valued at $20.7 million combined, representing emergency-response pharmaceutical or supply contracts.

The vendor operates primarily under the DLA Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DE21D0009 (1,534 task orders, $225 thousand combined potential value), which functions as the primary vehicle for recurring medical supply delivery orders to military and defense healthcare operations. The Medical Equipment and Supplies Federal Supply Schedule carries 13 task orders worth $21.1 million combined, enabling VA facilities to order supplies on an as-needed basis. Two additional DLA IDCs (SPE2DV17D8006 and SPE2DV17D7031) carry 5 and 4 task orders respectively, and a single Blanket Purchase Agreement (36C24C20A0060) holds one task order.

Award activity has declined significantly. The vendor received 379 awards in 2021, 514 in 2022, and 353 in 2023, but this dropped to 144 in 2024 and has recovered only modestly to 197 in 2025. The combined potential value across all 2,202 awards in the source dataset totals $124.8 million, with $39.2 million (31%) obligated to date. This trajectory suggests either market contraction in medical supply procurement or competitive displacement on the DLA vehicle.

Category concentration is overwhelming: 1,547 of 2,202 awards (70%) fall under NAICS 423450 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), and 1,474 awards use PSC LB (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). The next-largest categories—Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (549 awards) and Drugs and Biologicals (549 PSC awards)—are less than one-third the size of the dominant NAICS, indicating the vendor's primary footprint is medical supply wholesale distribution rather than manufacturing or pharmaceutical production.
