About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 issued a sole-source justification notice for mail and package delivery services to be provided by United Parcel Service (UPS) at the Columbia Veterans Administration Medical Center in South Carolina. The justification for awarding this contract as a sole-source task order under the Veterans First Contracting Program relies on system compatibility requirements, as UPS maintains operational Script-Pro and WorldShip software systems that are already integrated with the facility's existing infrastructure, while competing carriers such as Federal Express would necessitate new database installations and staff retraining that would cause service delays. The estimated contract value is $796,600.00 for a one-year firm-fixed-price task order with a performance period from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, awarded on January 29, 2026, against Indefinite Delivery Contract HTC71123Dc025. The contracting rationale also cites market research confirming that both UPS and FedEx hold National mandatory contracts under the Next Generation Delivery Services (NGDS) program, yet only UPS meets the specific operational and system compatibility requirements necessary for the Columbia facility. The justification and approval were signed by Joseph E. Horn, Contracting Officer, and underwent one-level-above review and certification by Michael Tempero, Branch Chief, with the action to be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities Page upon award.
