About this file

This is an Intent to Sole Source document for blood and blood products submitted to the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VISN 6). The document outlines the VA's justification for awarding a contract on a sole source basis rather than through competitive procurement. The intent covers the provision of blood and blood products required to support veteran healthcare services within VISN 6, with the contracting officer documenting the rationale for selecting a single source vendor based on factors such as unique capability, technical superiority, or operational necessity specific to the VA's blood supply chain requirements.

The sole source determination is being published as a Special Notice under solicitation number 36C24626R0007 to provide potential contractors with advance notice of the VA's intent and to allow for any challenges or protests before contract award. This notice establishes the official record of the agency's determination that competitive procurement is not feasible for these blood and blood products, and interested parties have an opportunity to submit comments or objections during the notice period prior to final contract award.
