Blood and Blood Products

This notice announces the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 9's intent to enter into a non-competitive sole source contract with BloodSolutions, LLC for the provision of blood and blood products. The contract will be for a period of sixty calendar days to maintain minimum inventory levels and fulfill standing requests for blood products at the James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center in order to support transfusion activities without interruption. Responses from veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses demonstrating their ability to provide comparable blood and blood products to meet the facility's transfusion capabilities must be received within five calendar days; otherwise, the sole source award will proceed as planned.

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The NAICS code is 621991 and the PSC code is 6505. The potential incumbent and current contractor is BloodSolutions, LLC. As this is intended to be a non-competitive sole source award, specific value and quantity details are not provided, though the contract period is stated to be sixty calendar days.
