Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Vitalant Blood Products and Services

The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) intends to award a sole source service contract to Vitalant for blood products and services in support of David Grant Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base. The contract will be for a firm-fixed price, and the objective is to procure blood testing products and services for use at the medical center. The period of performance will be from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with four option periods. • The contract is for blood products and services, including blood testing. • The contract will be awarded to Vitalant, as they are the only responsible source that can satisfy the government's requirements due to the remote location of Travis AFB and the strict delivery time of one hour. • The contract is essential to the ongoing healthcare operations at the 60th Medical Group and the Military Treatment Facility. • The government is seeking capability statements from interested sources, which should include management and technical data, cost information, and convincing evidence of the capability to provide the required services.
