R602--Dayton Small Package Delivery (UPS) | Follow on Base | Start: 4/1/26

Contract HTC711-23-D-C025 36C25026F0326 is a sole-source task order awarded to United Parcel Service Co. (UPS) by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 10. The contract provides small package pickup and delivery services for the Dayton VA Medical Center and affiliated Community-Based Outpatient Clinics across VHA VISN 10. With a not-to-exceed ceiling of $340,000.00, the agreement operates on a bulk-funded, actual-services-rendered basis for a one-year period of performance starting April 1, 2026, and ending March 31, 2027. The award was executed under the Next Generation Delivery Service (NGDS) framework via the DoD TRANSCOM IDIQ, utilizing FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) for the sole-source justification. UPS was selected based on its unique technical capabilities, including superior next-day and residential ground delivery, temperature-controlled transport for sensitive medications, and hazardous materials handling. The procurement prioritizes mission assurance and the minimization of patient care delays over cost, as market research determined that the VA Rule of Two could not be met. Compliance is mandated under OMB Memorandum M-17-29 and VA Directive 7179 to ensure the use of Best-in-Class delivery solutions.
