Solicitation # 36C24427Q0017
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 4 intends to award a firm-priced, five-year sole source contract to The American National Red Cross for the provision of FDA regulated blood and blood products, as well as ancillary testing services, for the Altoona VA Medical Center in Pennsylvania. This procurement, conducted under FAR 6.103-1 and NAICS code 621991, is based on the critical requirement that the contractor must be capable of delivering supplies within one hour of notification for emergent patient use, a capability the government has determined only the American National Red Cross can meet due to its geographical location.

While this is a notice of intent to sole source rather than a request for competitive quotes, other responsible firms may submit capability statements and supporting evidence of their ability to meet these requirements. Interested parties must provide company details, SAM UEI number, business size, and evidence of relevant experience to the contracting officer, Mickeya Linzie, by October 16, 2026, at 8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time.
