TACOMA-PIERCE COUNTY BLOOD BANK

TACOMA-PIERCE COUNTY BLOOD BANK is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the collection, processing, testing, and distribution of human blood and blood products to support clinical care and emergency response needs. Its core capabilities center on comprehensive blood banking operations, including donor recruitment and screening, plasma separation, red cell and platelet storage, infectious disease testing, and inventory management under strict regulatory standards. The organization applies specialized expertise in cold chain logistics, AABB and FDA compliance, and quality assurance protocols for blood safety, ensuring the integrity of the blood supply through validated procedures and traceability systems. Key differentiators include its community-based model, which enables localized responsiveness, and its operational integration with regional healthcare networks to maintain just-in-time availability of life-saving components. Award history is not available to inform specific agency relationships, and no recent contract awards are documented to characterize federal engagement. Consequently, there is insufficient data to identify consistent federal partnerships or the nature of any government-funded work. The primary NAICS code 621991 classifies the entity as “Other Miscellaneous Health Practitioners,” which in practice reflects its role as a non-physician health service provider focused on blood and tissue services. Its market positioning is rooted in community health infrastructure rather than federal procurement markets, with operations aligned to regional medical systems rather than national defense or civilian agency contracting. The organization operates as a nonprofit entity under the 8H classification, indicating it is a Native Hawaiian Organization, though no federal certifications are listed. Its geographic presence is concentrated in Tacoma and Pierce County, Washington, serving local hospitals and emergency medical services. While deeply embedded in regional healthcare delivery, there is no evidence of active participation in the federal government contracting ecosystem.
