Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C10G18D0136

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Avkare, LLC to procure various types of biologics and biological implants, including allografts from human cadavers and xenografts from animals, for use in VA medical procedures and surgeries. The IDC has a total potential value of $2,103,393,326.64 and a period of performance that includes a 1-year base period plus four 1-year option periods.

The original solicitation, a pre-solicitation notice, indicates that the VA intends to establish multiple-award IDCs under NAICS code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) to facilitate the procurement of FDA-approved biologics and biological implants that must be tracked from source to implantation and labeled in accordance with ISBT 128 standards. The government anticipates awarding up to 30 contracts under this procurement. No set-asides were used for this opportunity. Avkare, a for-profit limited liability company, was selected as one of the prime contractors to deliver these biologics and implants to VA medical facilities as needed through task or delivery orders issued under the IDC.
