Delivery Order 36C25225D0048-36C25226N0111

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (VISN 12) awarded a $315,000 firm fixed-price delivery order to Loyola University Health System for FY26 renal transplant histocompatibility testing services. The contract, issued on October 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for December 31, 2025, represents continued delivery of specialized clinical laboratory testing to support the VA's organ transplant program. This delivery order was issued under an existing Indefinite Delivery Contract framework, with no set-aside designation applied. Loyola University Health System, a nonprofit Catholic healthcare provider based in Maywood, Illinois, is uniquely positioned as the only University HealthSystem Consortium (UNOS)-approved laboratory in Illinois, qualifying it to perform the critical histocompatibility testing required for renal transplant evaluation and matching at VA medical centers, particularly the Hines VA Medical Center.

This contract continues Loyola's established role as a primary service provider for VISN 12's transplant program. The organization has demonstrated its capability and reliability through multiple prior contract awards focused on renal transplant histocompatibility testing, with contract values historically ranging from $100,000 to $815,313. As a large, established healthcare provider with no subcontractors involved in this work, Loyola delivers these specialized laboratory services directly to the VA. The award reflects the ongoing federal healthcare mission to provide veterans with access to advanced transplant services, leveraging the specialized expertise and regulatory approval that Loyola uniquely maintains within the Illinois healthcare market.
