About this award
The Defense Health Agency awarded a $25.8M definitive firm fixed-price contract to the College of American Pathologists (CAP) for proficiency testing and laboratory accreditation services. The award, effective July 4, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of January 3, 2028, supports CAP's role as a critical infrastructure provider delivering comprehensive laboratory quality assurance products and services to federal healthcare facilities. CAP, a non-profit organization and the world's largest association of board-certified pathologists, will deliver proficiency testing programs and accreditation services from its Northfield, Illinois location. The contract carries no set-aside designation, reflecting CAP's competitive selection through standard federal procurement processes. The work encompasses laboratory accreditation, proficiency testing, linearity testing, calibration verification, and specialized reporting across multiple medical disciplines including chemistry, immunology, microbiology, hematology, cytology, and pathology.
This contract aligns with the Defense Health Agency's requirements for Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) compliance and represents part of CAP's substantial federal contract portfolio, which has generated over $200M in recent years across multiple agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, National Institutes of Health, and others. CAP maintains several related indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements with federal healthcare agencies, including a $11M IDC with the Department of Veterans Affairs for laboratory accreditation services supporting approximately 257 VHA patient testing facilities. The firm fixed-price structure provides cost certainty for the government while leveraging CAP's specialized expertise as a sole-source provider for certain laboratory quality assurance capabilities.
