About the company
The American National Red Cross, doing business as American Red Cross, is a tax-exempt non-profit humanitarian organization and the nation's primary federal supplier of blood and blood products to the Veterans Health Administration, Defense Health Agency, and other federal healthcare agencies, operating as a prime contractor on full-and-open basis without small business set-asides across a portfolio exceeding six billion dollars in combined potential value.
The Red Cross delivers whole blood, red blood cells, plasma, platelets, laboratory testing services, and specialized medical services including therapeutic apheresis, life support training and certification, and first aid and CPR instruction to federal healthcare agencies, veterans facilities, and military treatment facilities nationwide. Recent representative prime contracts include a $13.75 million definitive contract from the Defense Health Agency (awarded January 1, 2026) for life support training and certification services through June 30, 2031; a $5.7 million delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (awarded February 1, 2024) for blood products through August 27, 2026; a $4.65 million delivery order from VISN 5 (awarded May 1, 2024) for blood and blood products to the Washington DC VA Medical Center through April 30, 2025; a $3.175 million delivery order from NIH Clinical Center (awarded April 1, 2026) for apheresis donor services and supplies through March 31, 2027; and a $952 thousand definitive contract from National Capital Region IADS (awarded May 1, 2026) for direct curriculum licensing of adult CPR/AED training through January 28, 2029.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward VA regional service networks. The Department of Veterans Affairs (encompassing all 23 regional Veterans Integrated Service Networks) accounts for the largest share of recent awards by count and combined potential value. The five most active customer entities by award count — VISN 5, VISN 9, VISN 10, VISN 4, and the parent Department of Veterans Affairs — collectively represent approximately 23 percent of recent awards, while the top five by potential value — VISN 1, VISN 10, VISN 22, Defense Health Agency, and VISN 5 — account for approximately eight percent of combined potential value across all awards. This concentration reflects the Red Cross's role as sole-source or preferred supplier for blood products to the VA, justified through market research findings that identify the organization as the only qualified provider meeting FDA and AABB (American Association of Blood Banks) requirements for specific geographic regions and medical centers.
The Red Cross holds an extensive portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery vehicles and blanket purchase agreements with the VA and Defense Health Agency. Recent IDVs and BPAs include a $25 million blanket purchase agreement with VISN 1 for ARC blood products (awarded April 1, 2024, through June 30, 2033); a $15 million Defense Health Agency blanket purchase agreement for blood products (awarded April 4, 2024, through March 31, 2029); a $7.5 million Defense Health Agency BPA for low-titer O whole blood and liquid plasma (awarded October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2029); and numerous single-award IDIQs with individual VA regional service networks ranging from $200,000 to $6.95 million in ceiling value. The top parent vehicles by task order count include a VA blanket purchase agreement (119 task orders, $12.4 million combined potential value), indefinite delivery contracts with VISN 1 (74 task orders, $6.3 million) and VISN support networks (67 task orders, $16.6 million), and a federal supply schedule vehicle (58 task orders, $10 thousand). Recent activity shows 43 awards in 2026 year-to-date, down from 69 in 2025, 81 in 2024, 79 in 2023, and 75 in 2022, reflecting typical fiscal-year award timing and delivery order call patterns. Thirty-one awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $25.8 million, representing the recompete exposure window.
The Red Cross operates as a prime contractor on approximately 99 percent of recent awards; the remaining one percent comprises sub-awards primarily related to blood research and epidemiological studies. Named subcontracting relationships include collaboration with Vitalant on transfusion-transmissible infections monitoring (TTIMS) data coordination and research under a prime contract (sub-award awarded January 22, 2026) and participation as a research partner with the Johns Hopkins University and University of Cincinnati on pathogen reduction technology and red blood cell kinetics validation studies. SCI-reported invoicing (federal service contracts above $150,000 threshold) totaled $1.3 million across FY2022–FY2025, with the largest invoiced amount in FY2024 at $709 thousand across 5.1 federal service contract FTEs; government-paid hourly rates on these contracts ranged from a median of approximately $60.96 per hour to 90th percentile rates around $101.24 per hour. SCI data represent only service contract revenue above the reporting threshold and exclude the substantial majority of the Red Cross's federal blood product delivery and goods supply work, classified work, and non-federal revenue.
The Red Cross holds federal grants from the Department of Defense (a $75 million block grant through September 29, 2027, to assist U.S. military members, veterans, and their families worldwide), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (a $1.575 million fire prevention and safety grant through September 26, 2026, and a $1.5 million Assistance to Firefighters Grant through September 2023), the U.S. Agency for International Development (grants totaling $3.5 million for disaster risk reduction and preparedness in the North Pacific, Indonesia, and the Caribbean archipelago through 2027), and the Healthcare Systems Bureau (a community project funding grant for rural preparedness training in Hawaii through July 31, 2025). The Red Cross performs as a prime recipient on these grants and acts as a sub-recipient partner on collaborative federal research efforts coordinated by Vitalant, the Johns Hopkins University, and the National Opinion Research Center, primarily supporting respiratory virus surveillance, blood donor cohort development, and drowning prevention research in tribal communities.
The Red Cross maintains corporate structure as a parent tax-exempt entity with 39 named subsidiary entities, including The American Red Cross, American Red Cross National Capital Chapter, and The American National Red Cross, operating under a unified federal contracting identity. The organization competes predominantly on full-and-open basis without small business or other set-aside designations, reflecting its established market position as the sole-source supplier of blood products and related laboratory services to federal healthcare agencies where market research identifies no competing providers with equivalent FDA-registered capabilities and nationwide collection, processing, and distribution infrastructure.
