Federal procurement for medical and audiology supplies can feel complex, but FSS Schedule 65 II A simplifies purchasing by giving agencies direct access to vetted suppliers and pre-negotiated pricing. This guide explains how the Schedule works, who can use it, the types of products it covers, and how ADCO Medical Suppliers, an SDVOSB with an FSS 65 II A contract, supports federal agencies in procuring compliant medical and audiology products.

What Is FSS Schedule 65 II A?

FSS Schedule 65 II A is a Federal Supply Schedule dedicated to medical equipment and supplies. The Schedule is administered by the VA Federal Supply Schedule program, under delegated authority from GSA, and supports VA medical centers and other authorized federal agencies. Vendors awarded under this Schedule have already met federal pricing, performance, and compliance requirements, which allows agencies to procure items directly without issuing a full open-market solicitation.

For medical, diagnostic, and hearing-related needs, Schedule 65 II A provides a streamlined, FAR 8.4-compliant pathway for purchasing pre-competed products.

Federal purchasers who need detailed information about categories, SINs, or product scope can refer to the official GSA eLibrary summary for Schedule 65 II A, which lists the VA-managed Federal Supply Schedule contract structure, category codes, scope, and awarded vendors. Additionally, the VA's Office of Procurement, Acquisition and Logistics (OPAL) maintains a dedicated Schedule 65 II A information page at https://www.va.gov/opal/nac/fss/schedule65iia.asp that provides helpful procurement guidance.
