Specialtycare, Inc. was awarded a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) by the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network (VIN) 9 to provide auto-transfusion services in support of surgical programs for veterans in the Louisville, Kentucky region. The BPA has a potential value of $350K and does not have any set-aside designation. Specialtycare received two firm fixed price call contracts valued at a total of $123K against the BPA to deliver on-site blood conservation and recovery services from March 2022 through March 2024. These services recycle patients' shed blood during medical procedures performed at VA medical centers, reducing the need for external blood transfusions and supporting the VA's mission to care for veterans.
The originating opportunity for this BPA was a January 2022 special notice from VIN 9 of its intent to sole source the auto-transfusion services requirement to Specialtycare. As the sole provider of these services in the region, Specialtycare aims to continue directly supporting surgical programs for veterans through blood recovery and conservation techniques that minimize transfusion risks at VA medical facilities in Louisville, Kentucky through March 2027 under the terms of this BPA.
