RFI - Colorectal Cancer Screening Mailed Test Kits

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is seeking market research responses for colorectal cancer screening mailed test kits through this Request for Information (RFI) and Sources Sought Notice issued by the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick. The government is procuring an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide mailed Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) collection kits to veterans for colorectal cancer screening purposes. Key requirements include advance veteran notifications, assembly and mailing of FDA-approved FIT kits with labeled specimen collection tubes, inclusion of pre-paid return envelopes, quality audits to ensure correct labeling, follow-up communications with non-respondents, and monthly progress reporting. Respondents must submit company identification information, CAGE/UEI numbers, small business certifications if applicable, recommended NAICS codes (anticipated to be 492110 for Couriers and Express Delivery Services), existing contract vehicles, and a capability statement limited to 10 pages describing their ability to meet requirements. All responses are due by April 2, 2026 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time to Dylan.Nolz@va.gov and Kurt.Tanny@va.gov, with the understanding that this RFI does not commit the government to issuing a solicitation or awarding a contract.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and includes no identified incumbent contractors in the provided documentation. The anticipated contract volume ranges from 100,000 to 700,000 mailed FIT kits annually, with a maximum monthly capacity of 60,000 kits, indicating substantial scale and operational requirements. The base contract period runs from July 27, 2026 through July 26, 2031, with one optional five-year renewal period available, creating a potential ten-year relationship. Task orders will be issued on a firm fixed-price basis with pricing that must include all labor, materials, and supplies, and the contractor must achieve service go-live within 30 calendar days of award. All instructional materials must meet a Flesch reading score above 80 for accessibility, and optional services include navigator support for veterans who have not returned tests.
