About this opportunity
The Medical Readiness Contracting Office – West (MRCO-W) at JBSA Fort Sam Houston, Texas, on behalf of William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC) at Fort Bliss, Texas, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for blood products and testing services. This pre-solicitation notice seeks information from vendors capable of supplying blood products including apheresis platelets, leuko-reduced red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and pooled cryoprecipitate. Prospective contractors must be certified by either the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) or the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and must comply with all regulatory standards established by AABB and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for manufacturing and distributing blood products. Contractors are required to provide 24/7 phone support, deliver products within specified timeframes ranging from 1 to 24 hours depending on priority level, utilize validated transport containers, and maintain access to blood centers across the United States. The sources sought notice was posted on November 12, 2025, with responses due by November 18, 2025, though this announcement is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a binding commitment or request for quotes.
This notice does not utilize any small business set-aside designation. The contract will cover a base period from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, with four optional 12-month extension periods extending through March 31, 2031. The anticipated annual procurement volumes are modest, consisting of 200 apheresis platelets, 320 leuko-reduced red blood cells, 50 fresh frozen plasma units, and 60 pooled cryoprecipitate units. While no specific budget range is disclosed in this sources sought announcement, payment processing will be handled through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS Indianapolis) via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system, with the Contracting Officer's Representative verifying service acceptance. WBAMC retains the right to decline products that do not meet their requirements prior to shipment, ensuring quality control throughout the contract performance period.
