R602--vanhcs medical courier services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 is seeking information from small business sources capable of providing medical courier services to transport medical records, specimens, and supplies between the VA Northern California HealthCare System campus and outpatient clinics in Martinez, California. Interested vendors must have a valid California driver's license, training in biohazard handling, and vehicles suitable for transporting soiled and clean items separately. Responses are due by July 24, 2020 and will be evaluated based on organizational details, experience requirements, and references for equivalent past performance.

The anticipated contract is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 492210 with annual expenditures estimated between $150,000 to $200,000. The current incumbent is unknown. Responses will be used to determine the potential for a small business set-aside and identify qualified sources for a future solicitation to transport contaminated medical instruments and equipment between VA facilities in Northern California for reprocessing, following all transportation regulations while using biohazard-compliant containers.
