Zimmer US Inc.

Zimmer US Inc. is a for-profit orthopedic medical device manufacturer headquartered in Warsaw, Indiana, that supplies orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, and related medical products to the Department of Defense Medical Supply Chain and the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor competing under full and open competition with no small business set-aside designations. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of 52,820 awards over the past several years) and does not subcontract federal work; it holds a named subsidiary, Biomet Microfixation, LLC.

Zimmer's federal footprint is dominated by purchase orders and delivery orders for orthopedic implants and surgical supplies. Recent representative work includes a $600,000 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 awarded April 1, 2026, for annual maintenance, repair, and software support for a Zimmer Biomet ROSA Brain Surgical Robot at VA Portland Healthcare System, a $45,000 knee implant purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 awarded May 28, 2026, and a portfolio of small-value delivery orders (ranging from under $1,000 to over $40,000) from the Defense Logistics Agency Medical Supply Chain for femoral implants, hip stems and cups, revision systems, bone cement accessories, surgical instruments including dermatome blades and K-wire, and medical devices such as tourniquets and disposable surgical cuffs. Product-line depth includes Z1 hip systems, Persona femoral and acetabular components, ROSA robotic surgical systems, Pulsavac Plus surgical irrigation equipment, RIBFIX trauma fixation, orthopedic allografts, and specialty items such as refobacin-impregnated bone cement.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical division accounts for 27,625 awards (52% of total awards) valued at $1.12 billion in combined potential value—more than one-quarter of Zimmer's total federal portfolio. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, split across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks, represents roughly 17% of award count but concentrates significant dollars through larger contracts; Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 alone anchors $204.7 million in combined potential value across 1,875 awards. The Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery accounts for 93 awards valued at $101 million. Together, these three customers represent approximately 36% of Zimmer's combined federal potential value.

Zimmer holds a multi-billion-dollar ceiling Federal Supply Schedule contract under GSA Schedule 65 IB (Drugs, Pharmaceuticals, & Hematology Related Products) with the Veterans Integrated Service Network 12, effective September 15, 2023, through September 14, 2028, with a contract ceiling of $188 million. The vendor's five largest parent vehicle IDCs are SPE2DE21D7007 (9,276 task orders, $77.7 million combined potential value), VA797P0268 (13,504 task orders, $101.1 million combined potential value), the VA Prosthetic Implants and Appliances 2016-2021 vehicle (5,279 task orders, $66 million combined potential value), SPE2D020D0017 (2,391 task orders, $2.8 million combined potential value), and SPM2D012D0017 (2,267 task orders, $2.3 million combined potential value). Delivery orders under these vehicles range from routine consumable items (surgical blades, pins, wires, cuffs) to high-value implant systems, with performance conducted at military treatment facilities and VA medical centers nationwide.

Activity has remained consistent at roughly 2,500 to 3,000 awards per year over the past five years, though 2026 shows 597 awards recorded to date as of mid-year. Only six awards carrying combined potential value of $1.4 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure on existing vehicles. Primary NAICS codes are 424210 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers; 23,301 awards) and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing; 22,927 awards), reflecting Zimmer's dual posture as both manufacturer and distributor of orthopedic products into federal supply channels. The vendor competes in full and open competition across all customer agencies and does not pursue or hold set-aside contracts.
