Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on multiple prior VA awards under contract 36C25220A0026, with Vitalant serving as the awardee for therapeutic/apheresis services at the same general contract vehicle and timeframes (e.g., $980,978 for 08/01/20–07/31/25, plus smaller follow-on awards such as $42,436 and $38,934). The prior work descriptions explicitly reference “APHERESIS SERVICES” and “THERAPEUTIC APHERESIS SERVICES,” which aligns closely with the current requirement to perform therapeutic apheresis procedures and related patient monitoring and equipment support.
