The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call contract to the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI), a non-profit blood center, for the provision of human blood and blood products. The contract has a ceiling value of $1,288,000.00 and runs through September 30, 2025. OBI has a long history of providing blood and blood products to various government healthcare programs, including the VA and Indian Health Service (IHS). The contract is not set aside and reflects OBI's expertise and capacity in meeting federal blood supply needs. In addition to this contract, OBI holds several other federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with the VA and IHS, which facilitate the efficient procurement of blood and blood products on an as-needed basis. OBI has also received a significant $3,750,000 project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services to enhance its blood collection and distribution operations.
