About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 issued a Special Notice of intent to sole-source a contract for blood and blood products to American Red Cross, with a response deadline of September 29, 2026.
The VA intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source contract to ARC for FDA-approved blood, blood components, and reference laboratory services supporting the Hampton VA Medical Healthcare System. The contract runs for one base year from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with four optional renewal years. ARC is identified as the only viable source because it operates the sole blood and blood products distribution center in the Hampton Roads area capable of meeting the facility's critical one-hour turnaround requirement for STAT (immediate) orders. The facility does not maintain platelet inventory and orders on demand; alternative distribution centers in Richmond, Alexandria, and Lynchburg cannot satisfy interoperability, compatibility, and delivery time requirements due to distance and traffic considerations that would compromise sample processing for reference laboratory services. The Contracting Officer certified the justification under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12 commercial items authority, with a deviation effective October 2025. The acquisition is classified under NAICS 621991 (Blood and Organ Banks) and PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).
Interested parties may submit comments or objections before final contract award.
