About this award

This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call for real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) molecular microbiology testing for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was awarded to Cepheid Inc. on September 8, 2023, with a ceiling value of $2.44M and completion date of March 27, 2025. The contract utilizes a firm fixed-price structure with no set-aside designation and will be performed in Sunnyvale, California. Cepheid, a leading manufacturer of advanced molecular diagnostic systems and reagents, will provide cost-per-test MRSA detection services through its GeneXpert diagnostic platform to support clinical laboratory operations within the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VISN 22).

This award is part of Cepheid's extensive federal contract portfolio with the VA, which includes two significant indefinite delivery contracts: a $6.74M single-award IDC with VISN 17 (extending through December 28, 2029) for diagnostic reagents and test kits, and a substantially larger $32.8M single-award IDC with VISN 6 (extending through September 30, 2030) for molecular diagnostic testing system reagents and assays. Cepheid's established position as a primary federal supplier of diagnostic solutions reflects the VA's reliance on the company's GeneXpert platform for infectious disease testing across its network of medical centers, supporting critical clinical laboratory capabilities for patient care.
