Lumbee Advanced Medical Supply Launches
Native American-owned medical supply company opens to serve government agencies and healthcare facilities across the Southeast.
PEMBROKE, NC – Lumbee Advanced Medical Supply, a new Native American-owned medical supply distributor, officially launched operations in January 2025 to address the growing need for reliable medical supply partners in the government and healthcare sectors.
Founded by Wyatt Locklear, a member of the Lumbee Tribe, the company aims to bridge the gap between premium medical manufacturers and organizations serving communities across the Southeast United States.
Addressing Critical Supply Chain Needs
"Our communities have long faced challenges in accessing quality medical supplies through traditional channels," said Locklear. "Lumbee Advanced Medical Supply was created to provide government agencies and healthcare facilities with a trusted partner who understands their unique needs and compliance requirements."
The company enters the market at a crucial time, as healthcare organizations continue to prioritize supply chain resilience following the disruptions of recent years. With a focus on reliability, compliance, and competitive pricing, Lumbee Advanced Medical Supply is positioned to serve:
- Federal, state, and local government agencies
- VA medical centers and military facilities
- Indian Health Service locations
- Public and private hospitals
- Clinics and long-term care facilities
Commitment to Compliance and Quality
As a DUNS-registered supplier actively pursuing GSA Schedule certification, Lumbee Advanced Medical Supply ensures all products meet or exceed FDA standards and federal procurement requirements. The company provides comprehensive documentation with every order, including certificates of conformance and compliance tracking.
"Government procurement can be complex, but it doesn't have to be complicated," Locklear explained. "We're streamlining the process while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and quality assurance."
Supporting Economic Development
Beyond supplying medical products, Lumbee Advanced Medical Supply is committed to creating economic opportunities in Native American communities. The company plans to expand its workforce locally and establish partnerships with other minority-owned businesses in the medical supply chain.
"This isn't just about business—it's about building a sustainable enterprise that gives back to our community while serving the critical healthcare needs of our region," Locklear noted.

The company is currently establishing partnerships with leading medical supply manufacturers and building its product catalog. Government agencies and healthcare facilities interested in learning more can contact the Lumbee Advanced Medical Supply team at (910) 555-0123 or visit lam.supply.
