Mortuary Services

The Texas A&M School of Medicine requires a licensed vendor to provide comprehensive mortuary, transportation, embalming, documentation, and cremation services in College Station, Texas. The agency is trying to facilitate the respectful handling, preparation, and transport of donor remains to and from its medical research facility. The contract period will run for one year, and all work must be performed offsite within the United States. The scope of work covers the initial removal of donor remains from the place of death, including local transportation within a thirty-five-mile radius of the vendor's mortuary facility. The vendor must perform first-injection and full embalming services, then deliver the embalmed remains to the Texas A&M School of Medicine MREB Cadaver Lab in Bryan, Texas. Finally, the vendor must pick up the cadavers from the lab, return them to the mortuary facility, and perform cremation services with the ashes either returned to the family or scattered as directed. The agency is seeking proposals to establish the budget and pricing for these services. Bidders must operate as a licensed mortuary and perform all contract activities onshore within the United States. The agency has not specified formal evaluation criteria or key dates in the solicitation materials.
