Delivery Order 36C25225D0048-36C25226N0197

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (VISN 12), awarded a six-month extension task order valued at $735,000 to Loyola University Health System for renal transplant histocompatibility testing services. This delivery order, issued on January 1, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2026, was awarded without set-aside designation under a firm fixed-price contract structure. The award supports critical laboratory testing services at VA medical centers, particularly serving the organ transplant program across the VISN 12 network. Loyola University Health System, a nonprofit Catholic healthcare provider based in Maywood, Illinois, is uniquely positioned as the only University HealthSystem Consortium-approved laboratory in Illinois capable of performing specialized histocompatibility and reference laboratory testing required for federal transplant operations.

This task order extends Loyola's existing indefinite delivery contract relationship with VISN 12, which has consistently relied on the organization's specialized capabilities for renal transplant support services. As the sole awardee on these contracts with no subcontractor involvement, Loyola continues to serve as a critical partner to the VA's healthcare mission. The organization's specialization in histocompatibility testing, combined with its UNOS laboratory accreditation status, positions it as an essential provider for the federal healthcare system's transplant program operations across the Chicago region.
