This is a notice of intent to sole source a contract under the authority of RFO FAR 12.102, only one source being available to meet the Government-s need. The contract is estimated for final completion by 05/31/2027.
The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 621991, Blood and Organ Banks, with a small business size standard of $40.0 million. The PSC is 6505 for Blood and Blood Products.
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to solicit a one year firm fixed price estimated quantity order for Blood and Blood Products to Central California Blood Center. There are no other sources that will satisfy agency requirements for the necessary equipment. Only the Central California Blood Center is FDA registered to store and distribute blood and blood products to the Fresno VA within short delivery timeframes as is needed for this procurement. A requirement that STAT orders be delivered within two (2) hours of order placement further restricts available sources.
Any responsible source that feels it is capable in performing this requirement may submit a quote for the listed items from the solicitation and describe and/or submit documentation to support your capabilities. The response will be considered by the agency. Responses should be submitted to Leah Smith at leah.smith@va.gov no later than Wednesday, May 6th, 2026, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time, to be considered. The Government will not pay for information submitted. Any responses received will only be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in lieu of sole source contract described in this notice, and such determination shall be made at the sole discretion of the Government. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirement. If no responses are received, the government will proceed with the Sole Source acquisition.
