The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded a $849,750 Indefinite Delivery Contract to The American National Red Cross, operating through its Shared Service Center Division, to provide blood and blood products to the Boise VA Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. The contract has a ceiling value of $849,750 and a period of performance through March 31, 2025. Through this single-award IDC, the Red Cross will serve as the prime contractor supplying whole blood, red blood cells, platelets, and other critical blood components to support VHA's healthcare programs for veterans. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations. Under the IDC, the VA has placed multiple fixed-price delivery orders with economic price adjustment for the Red Cross to fulfill blood product requirements at the Boise VA medical facility, with recent orders valued at $170,000, $220,000, $156,708, $165,561, and $135,050. This supports the VA's need for a reliable supplier of blood products to its medical centers nationwide. The original pre-solicitation notice for this contract indicated the VA's intent to establish a 5-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to procure whole blood and blood products for the Boise VA Medical Center. The notice specified that the procurement would be open to all bidders without any set-aside requirements, under the applicable NAICS code of 621991 for Blood and Organ Banks. The VA sought a vendor who could demonstrate the capability to provide the required blood and blood products meeting the stated specifications and characteristics. By awarding this IDC to the American Red Cross, the VA ensures a reliable supply chain for critical medical commodities to support its healthcare delivery for veterans.
