LIFESERVE BLOOD CENTER

Lifeserve Blood Center specializes in the procurement, processing, storage, and distribution of blood and blood products, alongside comprehensive donor screening and infectious disease testing services. As a certified blood bank operator, the organization delivers mission-critical hemovigilance and transfusion safety protocols to support clinical care under strict FDA and AABB standards. Their technical expertise includes automated blood component separation, pathogen reduction technologies, cold chain logistics, and real-time inventory management systems tailored for high-reliability medical environments. A key differentiator is their ability to maintain just-in-time supply readiness for trauma, surgical, and chronic care needs within complex healthcare networks, ensuring compliance with federal blood safety regulations and donor confidentiality requirements. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-term partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, providing integrated blood product supply and diagnostic testing services under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) frameworks. Their work supports VA medical centers through reliable, scalable, and auditable blood service delivery, aligning with VA’s national transfusion medicine strategy and regional healthcare system requirements. This recurring engagement reflects deep institutional trust and operational alignment with VA’s clinical and logistical standards. Lifeserve operates exclusively within the 621991 NAICS category, which encompasses blood and organ banking services. Their market positioning is focused on the federal healthcare sector’s specialized demand for regulated, just-in-time blood supply chains, distinguishing them as a niche provider of clinical-grade biological materials rather than a general medical distributor. They serve as a critical link in the national blood supply infrastructure, ensuring availability of type-specific, tested, and traceable blood components for life-sustaining therapies. As a small business structured under the 8H designation, Lifeserve Blood Center is headquartered in Johnston, Iowa, with operations centered on serving federal medical facilities in the Midwest. While not holding formal government certifications such as 8(a) or HUBZone, their operational compliance with federal blood safety standards and consistent performance under VA contracts positions them as a trusted, regionally embedded provider within the federal healthcare supply ecosystem.
