Blood and Organ Banks

NAICS 621991 (Blood and Organ Banks) encompasses a comprehensive range of services and products related to blood collection, processing, testing, and distribution. These organizations collect, store, and manage human blood and blood components, including red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and other biological materials. The primary functions include blood donation collection, laboratory testing, blood typing, screening for infectious diseases, and preparing blood products for medical transfusions and research purposes.

Federal contract awards in this category predominantly involve the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Defense Health Agency (DHA), and Indian Health Service (IHS) procuring blood products and related services. Most contracts are firm fixed-price delivery orders or indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreements, typically ranging from $50,000 to $7,000,000 with performance periods between one to five years. Frequent awardees include The American National Red Cross, Vitalant, OneBlood, and Lifeshare Blood Center. These contracts are generally not set aside and are awarded through full and open competition, supporting medical facilities nationwide, with a strong focus on veteran healthcare systems across multiple states.

Recent federal contract opportunities demonstrate a diverse range of requirements for blood-related products and services. Solicitations include requests for human donor blood, blood testing supplies, cadaver specimens, and specialized blood product delivery. Agencies such as the VA, DHA, and Food and Drug Administration are seeking providers capable of supplying low-titer whole blood, ophthalmology specimens, and blood components with specific delivery and quality requirements. Performance locations span multiple states, including California, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia, with contract values and scopes varying widely to support medical training, research, and healthcare delivery across federal medical facilities.
