About this award
Cepheid Inc. received a $253,504.32 firm fixed-price delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 4, a civilian component of the Department of Veterans Affairs, for test kits to support diagnostic operations in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The award was issued on September 21, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of September 20, 2025. This delivery order carries no set-aside designation and represents procurement under Cepheid's existing indefinite delivery contract framework with the VA. As a leading supplier of molecular diagnostic systems and reagents, Cepheid supplies testing solutions across multiple federal agencies, with particular focus on infectious disease detection including COVID-19, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, tuberculosis, and other clinical conditions.
This award reflects the VA's continued reliance on Cepheid's GeneXpert diagnostic platform and associated test kits to support clinical laboratory operations and infectious disease testing requirements across its healthcare network. Cepheid has established itself as a primary federal contractor through multiple indefinite delivery contracts across numerous VISN regions, with the largest agreement—a $32.8 million IDC with VISN 6 extending through September 2030—generating numerous delivery orders for diagnostic reagents and assays. The current VISN 4 delivery order is consistent with the vendor's extensive federal contracting history, utilizing firm fixed-price structures to ensure cost certainty while enabling the VA to maintain diagnostic testing capabilities across its distributed medical centers.
