V129--Deceased Patient Transportation - VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 4 is conducting market research to gauge interest from Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Businesses, Veteran‑Owned Small Businesses, other small or emerging firms, and large businesses for a single‑award contract to provide all‑inclusive deceased‑patient transportation services for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. The scope requires ambulance‑type transport, equipped with necessary medical equipment, of deceased veterans from the University Drive or Heinz campuses to either UPMC or the Allegheny County Coroner’s Office, as the VA no longer performs autopsies in‑house. The solicitation (NAICS 485991, $19 M size standard) seeks responses that include a capabilities statement, SAM UEI, address, socioeconomic status, confirmation of ability to pick up and drop off at all required locations, and any suggested alternative NAICS code. Responses are for sources‑sought purposes only and must be submitted in writing to Contract Specialist Cynthia Laemmerhirt (cynthia.laemmerhirt@va.gov) no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Friday May 8, 2026. Offerors must be registered in SAM and have completed the required FAR 4.11/4.12 electronic representations and certifications prior to award. The information gathered will inform the VA’s acquisition and set‑aside strategy for this deceased‑patient transportation contract.
