The Virginia Department of Health awarded a contract to Altmeyer Funeral Homes effective June 5, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $1,000.00. The prime contractor will provide cremation services for rabid animal remains, with pricing structured at $1.10 per pound for the cremation procedure itself. The contract specifies pickup service fees of $50.00 for collections during standard business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) and $100.00 for weekend and holiday pickups. Services are to be delivered to 162 Mary Wainwright in Virginia.

This contract represents a single line item award for cremation and pickup services related to rabid animal remains disposal. The pricing structure accommodates both routine and after-hours service requests, reflecting the public health necessity of managing potentially hazardous biological materials. The relatively modest contract value suggests this award may represent either an initial task order, a limited-scope engagement, or pricing established for on-call services under a broader procurement vehicle.
