622110: General Medical and Surgical Hospitals

The Department of Defense buys medical and surgical hospital services primarily through the Naval Medical Logistics Command and the Defense Health Agency. These agencies purchase supplies, equipment, and services that support military medical facilities. Most awards go to open competition without set-asides, though the federal government also reserves a significant portion for small business set-asides under SBA programs. Over 1,350 vendors have won contracts in this category since 2001.

The market shows modest individual award sizes with a median of $22,600, but the total spending of $25.80 billion across 110,801 awards indicates steady, recurring demand. The Naval Medical Logistics Command alone has issued over 9,100 awards worth $3.62 billion, making it the dominant buyer. A firm considering entry should expect to compete for smaller contracts initially, as the data shows most awards cluster well below the median. The 19 active notices suggest ongoing procurement activity.

Watch for contract renewals over the next 12 months. Approximately 459 contracts worth $1.23 billion are set to end, which creates recompete opportunities. The Defense Health Agency and its regional offices continue to be significant buyers, so monitoring their procurement schedules will help identify timing for new bids. Small business set-asides account for roughly 10 percent of awards by count, offering an alternative path for qualifying firms.
