UK-Wide Mortuary BPA

The contract seeks to establish a UK-wide Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide mortuary affairs support services for the 100th Force Support Squadron at RAF Mildenhall and the 48th Force Support Squadron at RAF Lakenheath. The contractor is responsible for delivering comprehensive services including labor, transportation, equipment, and materials necessary for the dignified handling and processing of human remains in full compliance with UK laws. The services must be available around the clock on a 24/7 on-call basis and cover collection and transportation of remains from anywhere within the UK mainland. This also involves minimum preparation tasks and completion of all required legal paperwork to ensure lawful procedures. An essential aspect of the contract is the transportation service, which requires a tiered pricing structure based on distance from the pick-up location: within a 30-mile radius, between 30 and 150 miles, and beyond 150 miles. Additionally, the contractor must be capable of securely storing remains at a licensed facility, providing refrigerated (but non-frozen) storage for up to 30 days if necessary. After interim storage, the remains are to be transported onward as directed to either RAF Mildenhall or RAF Lakenheath. The solicitation is a combined type with no set-aside provisions and falls under NAICS code 812210. The deadline for responses is April 15, 2026, and the Department of Defense is the contracting agency overseeing the effort.
