Frederick County, Maryland is soliciting proposals for a qualified blood-services provider to supply low titer group O whole blood for the Division of Fire & Rescue Services.

The selected contractor is responsible for collection, testing, storage, shipment, replenishment, labeling, inventory and emergency delivery of LTOWB units. Available solicitation materials require an FDA-registered blood establishment, current AABB accreditation, at least five years of relevant LTOWB collection/distribution experience, required insurance and references, and compliance with blood-product testing, temperature-control, chain-of-custody and continuity requirements.

Deadline: September 14, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. Electronic submission is through Frederick County’s OpenGov procurement portal. The pre-proposal conference occurred August 17, 2026.

Atlas analysis: N9+ Fit Score 0/100. This procurement is for regulated blood-product collection and distribution, not remote physical examination or telehealth technology. Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare should not be treated as a direct bidder unless the required FDA blood-establishment, AABB accreditation and LTOWB experience requirements can legitimately be documented. Strong qualified-provider candidates include the incumbent/partner Inova Blood Donor Services and other established LTOWB suppliers such as the American Red Cross, subject to full solicitation compliance.
