Dover Air Force Base: Armed Services Whole Blood Processing Laboratory – East

The effort will relocate the Armed Services Whole Blood Processing Laboratory from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to Dover Air Force Base, creating a modern blood processing laboratory that supports the Armed Services Blood Program and provides critical whole blood processing and distribution capabilities for military operations worldwide.

The design-build project includes demolition of existing facilities, construction of a new state-of-the-art laboratory and storage facility, initial outfitting, and application of Lean healthcare design principles to improve operational efficiency, workflow, and safety. The facility directly supports the Department of Defense's global medical logistics mission by providing blood products for CENTCOM, EUCOM, AFRICOM, military treatment facilities, and VA healthcare systems, while leveraging Dover AFB's strategic airlift capabilities for rapid worldwide distribution.
