The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Great Lakes Acquisition Center, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Federal Express Corporation for domestic and international overnight blood delivery services. This contract, which encompasses a base year plus four option years, is designed to support the Navy Regional Blood Donor Center by ensuring timely shipments of critical human blood products across the Continental United States. The importance of these services is underscored by their role in facilitating healthcare provision within the Veterans Affairs system. Interested firms may submit their capability statements via email to Michelle Klug at michelle.klug2@va.gov by 10:00 AM CST on October 31, 2024, although no competitive solicitation will be issued, and the final decision to proceed with the sole source negotiation rests solely with the Government.
