About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a contract modification with South Texas Blood and Tissue Center (STBTC) to provide critical blood products for the Brooke Army Medical Center's Department of Pathology and Area Laboratory Services (DPALS). The modification will add 800 units of leukocyte-reduced red blood cells and 360 units of single donor frozen plasma to the existing contract W81K00-23-D-0009, valued at $266,960.00. Market research conducted from April 3-22, 2025, confirmed STBTC as the sole capable vendor, with the justification based on their unique ability to provide FDA-approved blood products with rapid delivery times (STAT orders within one hour and ASAP orders within four hours). The contract covers a five-year ordering period from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2028, and is being procured on a sole source basis under FAR 13.501 authority to support trauma, hematology/oncology, and in-patient care requirements for active duty personnel, retirees, beneficiaries, and civilians. Only one alternative vendor (Bright Labs Diagnostics) was identified during the market research, but their response was deemed insufficient to meet the medical center's specific needs.
