Scope of Work This requirement needs to provide Laser Marking System to be delivered to C.W. Bill Young VAMC (CWYVAMC). Background Joint Commission had their inspection for Bay Pines Sterile Processing service May 2025. The Joint Commission stated that SPS is using too much tape on instrumentation and made it a finding. Presently SPS is using etching tape for etching hard to reach spots and small areas. The Censis Fiber Laser will allow SPS to rid of all tape etching. In addition, the laser UDI will provide the ability to identify medical devices by serial number, batch/lot number or expiration date, important information about a device to reduce medical errors, ability to manage medical device recalls effectively, and improve supply chain and inventory process. The current Electrochemical etching system used by Bay Pines SPS does not work on titanium, aluminum or other substrates so for example the DaVinci RMD cannot be etched, and a tape label must be placed on the DaVinci RMD. Over time the tape label deteriorates and falls apart leaving behind major residue. This is a huge problem with Davinci RMD and most robotic systems due to the limited amount of usage the RMD is allowed. Having a Fiber Laser UDI allows SPS to move away from tape and at the same time Follow FDA regulations and Joint Commission recommendations.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.

Investor context
  • $BDX reported $22.5B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 20 past awards, $137K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing

One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Latest awards

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
