The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 awarded a definitive firm fixed-price courier service contract valued at $153,120.48 to Caduceus Medical Logistics LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. The contract, effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2029, supports 24/7 courier operations for the Hershel Woody Williams VA Medical Center in Huntington, West Virginia, with service extending across the tri-state region including Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia.

The company's services encompass transport of medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, laboratory specimens, patient records, and other critical healthcare items between VA facilities. This award represents the contractor's continued expansion within VISN 5 operations and demonstrates the VA's confidence in the company's ability to deliver reliable medical transportation support. The contract includes two one-year option periods, potentially extending the engagement through January 31, 2029.
