About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 has awarded a sole-source contract to Kangaroo Pick-up and Delivery Service, Inc. for daily medical courier services, with a contract value of $280,851.24 and an award date of March 6, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source) based on market research and competitive solicitations that failed to yield price-reasonable alternatives. An initial Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside solicitation produced four quotes ranging from $1.1 million to $6.2 million, all exceeding the independent government cost estimate by 308 to 2,118 percent. A subsequent Small Business set-aside solicitation yielded only one price-reasonable quote: Kangaroo's $258,779.04 offer, which was 7.86 percent below the estimate. Competing vendors including Crosstown Courier Service and Allstate Courier Systems quoted significantly higher prices, citing startup costs and lack of existing operations in the remote Colorado Western Slope and Moab service territory. The contracting officer determined that Kangaroo, as the incumbent with established courier operations and customer relationships throughout the service area, was the only vendor capable of providing price-reasonable services without substantial infrastructure development costs.
Performance spans a five-year base period plus four one-year options, from March 7, 2026, through March 6, 2031. Work involves transporting laboratory specimens and biohazardous medical materials from VA Community Based Outpatient Clinics in Craig, Glenwood Springs, and Montrose, Colorado, and Moab, Utah, to the VA Western Colorado Health Care System facility in Grand Junction, Colorado. The Network Contracting Office is located in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
