About The Blood Center
The Blood Center, a New Orleans-based nonprofit blood bank, supplies whole blood, blood components, plasma derivatives, and donor blood testing services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of the Air Force as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations.
The Blood Center's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward two federal customers. Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (VISN 16) accounts for 34 awards carrying $17.5 million in combined potential value, while the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command holds 25 awards with $11.6 million in combined potential value—together representing 93% of recent awards and 98% of combined potential value across all federal work. VISN 16 supplies blood products to VA medical facilities in the Gulf Coast region; the Air Force contract covers donor blood testing services. The Blood Center also maintains a minimal presence with VISN 10 and the Air Force proper (4 awards) but without material dollar impact. All five agencies served are represented in both award-count and potential-value rankings, indicating consistent engagement across both the VA and Air Force systems.
The Blood Center holds five parent indefinite delivery contracts anchoring task-order activity. The largest by dollar value is VA25612D0363 with 5 task orders valued at $2.9 million combined potential. Two VISN 16 single-award IDCs carry the bulk of recent work: contract 36C25621D0011 (6 task orders, $4 million combined potential value) running through March 31, 2028, and contract 36C25618D0008 (6 task orders, $545 thousand combined potential value). The Air Force holds contracts FA301010D0001 and FA301014D0006, each with 5 task orders and approximately $1.6 to $1.8 million in combined potential value. Representative work includes a $324,605 firm fixed-price delivery order from VISN 16 awarded April 1, 2026, for blood bank products including red blood cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma, and reference laboratory services with performance at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System through March 31, 2027; a $275,440 donor blood testing services delivery order from Air Education and Training Command running October 2021 through September 2022; and a $245,189 VISN 16 delivery order awarded April 1, 2026, for blood and blood-related products with completion by April 30, 2027.
Activity has remained flat over the past five years (averaging 2.6 awards annually from 2022 to 2026) with two awards facing completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $570 thousand), representing modest recompete exposure. The Blood Center has been registered in SAM.gov since 2001 and maintains FDA registration and AABB standards compliance, with 24/7 availability required for routine and emergency orders. The organization operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data; all 71 recent awards are primary contract actions. The NAICS portfolio concentrates on Blood and Organ Banks (50 awards) and Medical Laboratories (15 awards), with PSC work primarily coded as Hematology & Oncology (31 awards) and In Vitro Diagnostic Substances and Reagents (21 awards).
