The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking sources for a five-year firm-fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement to supply research-grade animal food, bedding, and enrichment items for the VA Portland Healthcare System’s Veterinary Medical Unit in Portland, Oregon. This is a brand-name requirement with no substitutions allowed, and items must be irradiated and directly delivered to the Portland campus loading docks. Deliveries must occur within one week of routine orders and within one day for emergencies, with a disaster response component for helicopter delivery and waste removal if roadways are impassable. The base period begins January 1, 2027, and runs through December 31, 2027, with four optional one-year ordering periods extending to December 31, 2031. No budget amount is specified.
