AI Contract Overview

The St. Cloud VA Medical Center intends to award a sole source contract to the American Red Cross of St. Paul for the provision of blood, blood products, and related testing services. The contract will cover the period from July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003, with the possibility of two additional option years. This procurement is being conducted under specific federal acquisition regulations that allow for sole source contracting when the government’s minimum needs can only be met by one source, which in this case is justified by the critical requirement to deliver some products within one hour. Interested parties other than the American Red Cross have until May 24, 2002, to demonstrate their interest and capability to fulfill this requirement, although the notice clearly states this is not a request for proposals but rather a determination process to assess whether a competitive procurement might be warranted. Responses will be considered solely to decide if competition is feasible, and late submissions or oral communications will not be accepted. The government reserves the discretion to proceed without competition based on the responses received.
