Organ Preservation Solution

The Provincial Health Services Authority, acting on behalf of five regional health authorities in British Columbia, intends to directly award a non-volume committed contract for the supply of Custodiol HTK organ preservation solution to support the BC Transplant program. The contract will have an initial term of two years with two optional one-year extensions, allowing for potential continuity of supply without guaranteed purchase volumes. This solicitation, identified as BCPHSA_19042, was posted on June 2, 2026, with responses due by June 18, 2026, and falls under the NAICS code 423450 for medical and surgical equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers. The contract is being issued by the Provincial Health Services Authority, which serves as the collective agent for the participating health authorities, ensuring a unified procurement approach across the province. The procurement is led by Shouwkat Shami, the Contracting Authority, who can be reached at shouwkat.shami@phsa.ca for inquiries. While the contract is designated as a federal procurement under the Government of Canada’s procurement framework, the place of performance and primary service area are within British Columbia, specifically for use in transplant procedures managed by the BC Transplant program. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside for particular supplier categories, indicating an open competition among qualified suppliers meeting the technical and regulatory requirements for organ preservation solutions. The procurement aims to secure a reliable, high-quality supply of Custodiol HTK to support life-saving transplant operations across the province’s health regions.
