Universal Consultants Incorporated

Universal Consultants Incorporated, a veteran-owned small business based in North Ridgeville, Ohio, delivers third-party medical physics testing and acceptance inspection services for high-tech diagnostic imaging equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor under total small business set-aside vehicles. The vendor holds SBA Certified Veteran-Owned Small Business status through April 10, 2028, and operates exclusively without subcontractor relationships across its federal footprint.

Universal Consultants' capability portfolio centers on acceptance testing and quality assurance inspection of diagnostic imaging systems deployed across VA Medical Centers nationwide. Work encompasses medical physics testing for X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography/computed tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, and mammography equipment. Representative recent delivery orders include a $5,513.62 order for X-ray and MRI inspection services at Salem, Virginia (September 2026), a $5,513.62 order for CT and MRI testing at Carrollton, Georgia (September 2026), and a $5,513.62 order for multimodal diagnostic equipment inspection at Fayetteville, North Carolina (September 2026). All work is priced firm fixed-price and carries ultimate completion dates extending through June 30, 2030.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Veterans Affairs National Acquisition Center accounts for 442 of 485 total awards (91% of award count) and $10.7 million of $13.4 million combined potential value (80%). Additional VA regional customers — Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (12 awards, $512 thousand), Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (7 awards, $523 thousand), Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (7 awards, $657 thousand), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (7 awards, $139 thousand) — represent secondary ordering points. This concentration reflects Universal Consultants' singular focus on VA medical equipment inspection and the lack of federal customer diversification.

Universal Consultants holds two active IDIQs under the VA National Acquisition Center. The primary vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 36H79725D0001, a $3 million single-award contract awarded July 1, 2025, carrying total small business set-aside authority through December 31, 2030. This contract has generated 143 task orders valued at $757 thousand since award. A predecessor contract, 36A79720D0001 (veteran-owned small business set-aside, $29.2 million ceiling through December 2024), generated 304 historical delivery orders for $1.7 million combined potential value. Both vehicles serve as the exclusive procurement mechanism for Universal Consultants' work; no other federal vehicles appear in the portfolio.

Activity has grown steadily. Awards per year increased from 51 (2023) to 63 (2025) to 93 through mid-September 2026. The recompete cliff is minimal: only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $212 thousand. The bulk of the portfolio extends through June 30, 2030, reflecting the extended performance schedules embedded in recent delivery orders.

Universal Consultants operates exclusively in medical equipment inspection under NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories). The top PSC category is Inspection—Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies, representing 454 of 485 awards. No grant work, subcontract relationships, or diversified service lines appear in the source data. The vendor's business model is specialized and narrow: accept inspection orders from the VA National Acquisition Center, dispatch qualified medical physicists to specified VA facilities, and certify equipment compliance before clinical deployment. This focused posture has sustained consistent federal revenue tied to a single customer's medical equipment acquisition cycle.
