The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 10 awarded a firm-fixed-price task order to United Parcel Service Co. (UPS) for small package delivery services supporting the Chalmers P. Wylie VA Advanced Academic Care Center (VAACC). This award, issued under the DoD TRANSCOM Next Generation Delivery Service (NGDS) Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) HTC711-23-D-C025, has a total value of $175,000.00. The period of performance begins April 1, 2026, and runs for approximately one year. The scope of work includes daily Monday through Friday pickup and delivery of medical supplies, prescriptions, and documents between the VAACC, Community-Based Outpatient Clinics, and other VA medical campuses within VISN 10, including residential and commercial addresses. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) and 38 U.S.C. 8127(c) after market research determined that the VA Rule of Two could not be met. UPS was identified as the only provider capable of meeting mission-critical requirements, including temperature-controlled transport for sensitive materials, hazardous materials handling, and guaranteed delivery timelines. Performance is governed by OMB Memorandum M-17-29 and VA Directive 7179. The vendor is required to bill for actual services rendered against the established ceiling, with oversight provided by the Network Contracting Office 10 in Dayton, Ohio.
