Universal Consultants Incorporated

Universal Consultants Incorporated, a veteran-owned small business headquartered in North Ridgeville, Ohio, provides third-party medical physics testing and acceptance inspection services for diagnostic imaging equipment to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor operating under total small business set-aside authority.

The vendor specializes exclusively in medical equipment quality assurance and inspection work grounded in a single focused capability: conducting acceptance inspections, warranty verifications, and compliance testing for high-tech diagnostic imaging systems including X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography/computed tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, and mammography equipment across VA Medical Centers nationwide. Recent representative work includes a $5,513.62 firm fixed-price delivery order issued July 13, 2026, for medical physics testing and acceptance inspection services at the Mountain Home, Tennessee VA Medical Center; a $5,513.62 order from June 2026 for similar services in Beaumont, Texas; and a $2,236 order from June 26, 2026, for equipment inspection support in Salem, Virginia — all performed under the vendor's primary IDIQ contract with the VA National Acquisition Center.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The VA National Acquisition Center accounts for 418 of 461 total awards (91% of awards) and $10.6 million of $13.4 million in combined potential value (79% of dollars). The vendor serves five additional VA regional networks (Veterans Integrated Service Networks 4, 5, 7, 10, and 12) accounting for the remaining awards at substantially smaller dollar values per order. No federal agencies outside the VA appear in the award portfolio.

Universal Consultants holds two active indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its work. The primary vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 36A79720D0001, awarded February 2020 and valued at $29.2 million through December 2024 (veteran-owned small business set-aside), against which 304 task orders carrying $1.7 million in combined potential value have been placed. A second IDIQ (36H79725D0001), awarded July 1, 2025, carries a $3 million ceiling through December 31, 2030, under total small business set-aside, with 119 delivery orders and $624 thousand in combined potential value issued since award. A third vehicle (36C24518D0157) supports five task orders valued at $246 thousand. The vendor does not hold parent vehicles with other agencies or contracting offices; its federal footprint is confined entirely to VA medical equipment inspection delivery orders.

Activity has remained stable at 51 to 69 awards per year over the past five years, with 69 awards in 2026 year-to-date representing the highest recent volume. Twenty awards (combined potential value $305 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next 24 months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated in the second half of 2026 and early 2027. The vendor operates as a prime contractor exclusively; no subcontractor relationships are identified across the award portfolio.

The vendor's competitive posture is entirely set-aside dependent. All work is awarded under total small business, veteran-owned small business, or full-and-open designation where the vendor's VOSB status provides advantage. Individual delivery order values are highly standardized, ranging from $2,236 to $6,513.62, reflecting standardized inspection scope and pricing discipline. The vendor has maintained continuous utilization of its VA IDIQ vehicles since 2020, with monthly delivery order issuance demonstrating consistent customer reliance on its specialized medical physics inspection capabilities across geographically dispersed VA facilities.
