Medical equipment and supplies government contracts
In fiscal year 2026, federal agencies obligated $4.74B on medical supply contracts so far (Defense contracts arrive about 90 days late, so the year's total is still rising). Department of Veterans Affairs bought the most, followed by Department of Defense. 41 medical supply contract opportunities are open now on SAM.gov, and 384 contracts worth $6.50B with options end in the next 12 months.
Medical, surgical and hospital equipment and supplies for VA medical centers, military hospitals and the Indian Health Service.
Set-asides: at least 4% of FY2026's medical supply contract dollars ($207.02M) went through contracts set aside for small businesses, most through service-disabled veteran-owned and small business set-asides. Many orders under larger contracts carry no set-aside code, so this counts only what is reported. How set-asides work →

How the government buys medical supply work
- The VA runs the Federal Supply Schedule for medical products; the Defense Logistics Agency buys for military medicine. Being on those vehicles matters more than single bids.
- Products sold under schedules must comply with the Trade Agreements Act (made in the US or a designated country).
