On December 22, 2025, the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (VISN 17) awarded a $1.56M delivery order to Cepheid Inc., a Sunnyvale, California-based manufacturer of molecular diagnostic systems and reagents. This delivery order, representing the first ordering period under a larger single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $6.74M through December 28, 2029, procures diagnostic reagents and test kits designed for Cepheid's GeneXpert diagnostic platform, including XPRS4PLEX-10 and XPRS-COV2-10 cartridges for detecting multiple respiratory pathogens. The contract employs a firm fixed-price structure with no set-aside designation and has an ultimate completion date of December 21, 2026. Performance will occur at Cepheid's headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.
This procurement supports VISN 17's clinical laboratory operations and infectious disease testing requirements across its distributed network of VA medical centers. Cepheid serves as a primary federal supplier of molecular diagnostic solutions across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks, the Indian Health Service, the Defense Health Agency, and other federal healthcare agencies. Beyond this VISN 17 contract, Cepheid holds an additional single-award IDC with VISN 6 valued at $32.8M through September 30, 2030, demonstrating the VA's substantial reliance on the company as a core supplier of molecular diagnostic capabilities, with ordering periods enabling continuous, demand-driven procurement of testing solutions across the VA healthcare system.
