Mississippi Blood Services, Inc.

Mississippi Blood Services, Inc., a non-profit manufacturer and distributor of blood and blood products based in Flowood, Mississippi, supplies blood and blood-related medical products to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor competing in the full-and-open market with no set-aside designations. The organization operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 valued at $3.15 million running April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2028, under which four delivery orders have been issued to date.

Mississippi Blood Services concentrates its federal business with a single customer: the VA Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 accounts for 18 awards and $21.7 million in combined potential value. Four delivery orders have been issued under the primary IDC — a $451,164 firm fixed-price order awarded April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2027; a $376,394 order (Ordering Period 2) awarded April 1, 2025, completing March 31, 2028; a $334,715 order awarded April 1, 2024; and an initial $311,414 order awarded April 1, 2023. All orders support the G.V. Sonny Montgomery VA Medical Center and other VA healthcare facilities in the Jackson, Mississippi region. The vendor's award portfolio also reflects nominal presence with the Department of the Air Force and the Health Resources and Services Administration, but represents only ancillary activity. The five highest-value parent vehicles are the core VA IDC (22 task orders, $20.6 million combined potential value) and four additional IDCs with smaller footprints.

Mississippi Blood Services' recent activity trajectory has flattened significantly — one award per year in 2022 through 2026 — reflecting a settled post-award ordering pattern under the established VA contract rather than new business development. The recompete cliff shows minimal exposure, with two awards totaling $786 thousand reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's NAICS concentration aligns with its business model: Blood and Organ Banks (44 awards) and Biological Product Manufacturing (11 awards) dominate the category distribution, with procurement codes reflecting hematology and oncology products and medical and surgical supplies. As a tax-exempt non-profit, Mississippi Blood Services operates without SBA certifications and competes on capability and pricing against other blood-supplier sources in full-and-open procurements.
