About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 9, awarded a sole-source 8(a) bridge contract to Safeguard Security Solutions, LLC for laboratory courier services on June 30, 2026.
The contract value is $144,410.04, with potential extension to $288,820.00. Performance covers the VA Medical Center at Mountain Home and subordinate Community-Based Outpatient Clinics and affiliated healthcare facilities. The award was made under GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract 47QMCB17D0008 (NAICS 144410.04).
The contracting officer invoked the urgent and compelling need exception under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A) and GSAM 538-7104-3(a) to bridge service continuity. A pending protest filed June 22, 2026, delayed resolution of a competitive procurement; without immediate coverage, the medical center faces interruptions in laboratory specimen transport, diagnostic testing delays, specimen degradation risk, and regulatory compliance exposure. The incumbent possesses the personnel, vehicles, routes, security clearances, training, and operational knowledge required for immediate continuation. The bridge contract becomes effective July 1, 2026, following expiration of the prior contract.
