About this opportunity

The Pittsburgh Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (VAPHS) is seeking qualified vendors to supply blood bank products and related services through this Sources Sought/Request for Information notice. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is conducting this market research to identify potential contractors capable of providing FDA-licensed blood products that meet American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) standards, along with comprehensive testing for transfusion-transmitted diseases and reference testing for blood bank samples. Key requirements include ensuring 24/7 availability with delivery times ranging from 1 to 4 hours depending on urgency, maintaining specific inventory levels across all blood types (O positive, O negative, A positive, A negative, B positive, B negative, AB positive, and AB negative), providing traceability and quality control procedures, and being prepared for facility inspections. All interested parties must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and must submit responses including company name, address, point of contact information, phone number, email address, DUNS number, CAGE code, and tax ID number. Responses to this notice are due by 12:00 PM EST on November 3, 2025, though this is not yet a formal solicitation for bids, quotes, or proposals.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation; however, the notice indicates a preference for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) and veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB) that are verified in the VetBiz Registry and meet eligibility requirements under 38 U.S.C. 8127 and Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) subpart 819.7003. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this Sources Sought notice. The document emphasizes that the government reserves the right to issue a formal solicitation at a later date based on responses received and market research findings. Specific inventory requirements are outlined across multiple blood component types, including red blood cells, leukoreduced red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, plateletpheresis, and cryoprecipitate, though exact quantities are detailed in the attached Performance Work Statement.
