United Metal Fabricators, Inc.

United Metal Fabricators, Inc., doing business as UMF Medical, is a woman-owned small business manufacturer of medical equipment and supplies based in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, that operates as a prime contractor on delivery orders and purchase orders for federal healthcare agencies, with 100% of awards placed as prime work under GSA and agency purchasing vehicles rather than as subcontractor engagements.

UMF Medical's federal footprint centers on medical furniture and exam-room equipment. The company supplies phlebotomy chairs, powered exam chairs, exam tables, procedure chairs, Hi-Lo power exam chairs, and instrument cabinets to federal healthcare systems. Representative recent work includes a $19,836 delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 in June 2026 for phlebotomy chairs under GSA Schedule 65-II-A (Medical Equipment and Supplies), a $21,790 purchase order from the Indian Health Service in September 2025 for patient exam upholstery replacement at Zuni Community Health Center in New Mexico, and a $62,000 delivery order from VISN 12 in March 2024 for powered exam chairs. The company has held a registration on GSA Medical Equipment and Supplies Schedule 65-II-A since August 2001.

Customer concentration reflects heavy Department of Veterans Affairs demand. The top five customer entities by combined potential value account for 65% of recent dollars: Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 leads with three awards worth $494 thousand combined potential value, followed by VISN 10 ($173 thousand across three awards), VISN 6 ($109 thousand), the Indian Health Service ($66 thousand), and the Department of the Army ($31 thousand). By award count, the Army and the Defense Logistics Agency tie at eight awards each (33% coverage of total award count), but DLA awards carry minimal reported potential value. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration dominates the dollar picture across its regional networks.

UMF Medical places all work through GSA and direct-purchase vehicles. The Medical Equipment and Supplies GSA Schedule carries 12 task orders worth $434 thousand combined potential value. Federal Supply Schedule contracts V797P4393A and V797P3235J host 32 and 9 task orders respectively, with V797P4393A accounting for $154 thousand combined potential value. The vendor also holds one delivery each against DLA indefinite-delivery contracts DLA12082C0191 and DLA12084C5301.

Activity has held steady at three awards per year across 2022–2025, with one award recorded in 2026 to date. Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $42 thousand. The vendor's 82-award history spans four decades (first award 1981), but recent annual volume remains modest — the combined potential value across all 82 awards is $1.3 million, though obligated dollars total $2.1 million (155% of potential value), indicating work has run above ceiling on some task orders. NAICS concentration reflects the primary business: Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (46 awards) and Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (3 awards). UMF Medical competes both under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders from the same federal customers.
