The federal government spent $7.77 billion across 149 health care contracts over the record period, but that aggregate number masks a market shaped almost entirely by one agency and one service line. Veterans Affairs accounts for 84 percent of all dollars awarded, creating a market structure where two dialysis giants (DaVita and Fresenius) have captured $5.2 billion. For small and mid-size contractors, the question is not whether to compete for VA dialysis, but where the real fragmented, accessible demand actually lives.
