Market Intelligence — Healthcare & Medical
$16.6B obligated across 8,778 awards in 12 months — VA accounts for approximately 84% of all federal healthcare obligations, dominated by C&P exam contracts and Community Care Network.
Strong year-over-year growth: $5.7B (CY2023) → $9.4B (CY2024) → $17.3B (CY2025), driven by VA's expanding disability claims backlog and Community Care Network expansion.
QTC, OptumServe, and Veterans Evaluation Services hold $9.3B (56% of total) — an unusually concentrated market purpose-built for VA disability examination outsourcing.
DoD ($1B) and HHS ($800M) provide more distributed entry points — MEPS physicals, occupational health BPAs, and HHS clinical screening programs offer accessible mid-tier competition.
