About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 has awarded a sole-source bridge contract to Medline Industries for Direct-to-Patient warehousing, distribution, and supply chain logistics services under FAR 6.103-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency.
The justification rests on the incumbent contractor's unique capability to avoid a service lapse. The current DTP contract expires September 30, 2026. Any new contractor would require a minimum of four months for mandatory technical onboarding, including Health Level 7 integration, VA Technical Reference Model compliance, cybersecurity authorization, and operational cutover. Medline Industries is the only viable source capable of beginning performance immediately on October 1, 2026, without a gap in service. The requirement involves procurement, storage, picking, packing, and direct-to-patient shipment of approximately 44,000 medical-surgical and associated supply prescriptions per business day.
The bridge contract period runs from October 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027 (six months base), with two optional three-month extensions exercisable at the Government's discretion, for a potential total of 12 months. Pricing is based on current rates from the 2021 full and open competition, adjusted for inflation and determined fair and reasonable. The underlying urgency arose from unforeseen increases in scope and estimated value identified after a Sources Sought notice closed in January 2026. A follow-on competitive acquisition is anticipated to conclude by October 1, 2027. Place of performance is Leavenworth, Kansas.
