About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 is canceling its RFQ for STAT and Non-STAT Courier Services for Blood and Blood Products effective September 16, 2026, with a future solicitation to be published at an undetermined date. No further action is required from interested parties or prior offerors.
The original solicitation sought a Firm Fixed-Price Blanket Purchase Agreement for five-year performance across VISN 1 locations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Maine, with place of performance at Brockton, Massachusetts. The contract involved transporting blood products between the American Red Cross in Dedham, Massachusetts, VA medical facilities, and surrounding hospitals, with delivery requirements of less than one hour for Boston-area trips and immediate direct transport for other VISN 1 locations. The contractor was required to maintain a 24/7/365 ready-and-waiting presence at the American Red Cross parking lot in Dedham.
The procurement initially carried a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside with a 1,500-employee size standard under NAICS 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), PSC R602. In May 2026, Amendment 0003 converted the set-aside to small-business-only after eligible SDVOSB offers exceeded fair market value. The SDVOSB subcontracting limitation required that no more than 50 percent of contract value be paid to non-certified SDVOSB firms. Required personnel qualifications included HIPAA, OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens, and HAZMAT training, with Service Contract Labor Standards wage rates applied. Evaluation factors emphasized technical capability and past performance as significantly more important than price, with three years of similar contract experience required.
