Delivery Order SPE2DE24D0013-SPE2D625F1PLV

The Defense Department's Medical Supply Chain division awarded a delivery order valued at $2,040 to Cepheid Inc. on August 21, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2025. This firm fixed-price delivery order, designated 4569178565 and titled "XPCOV2/FLU/RSV-10," requires no set-aside designation and represents a procurement of molecular diagnostic solutions for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The work will be performed at Cepheid's headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. This delivery order is associated with one of Cepheid's two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the IDV with VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 21, which is valued at $2.5 million and covers PCR testing for laboratory microbiology across multiple infectious disease categories through the established contract vehicle.

Cepheid is a well-established manufacturer of molecular diagnostic systems and has maintained consistent federal contracting relationships across multiple agencies, including the VA, Indian Health Service, and Defense Logistics Agency. The company's expertise in providing GeneXpert diagnostic systems, reagents, test kits, and associated maintenance services positions it as a competitive vendor in the federal molecular diagnostics marketplace. This modest delivery order reflects routine procurement activity under an existing IDV agreement, enabling the Veterans Integrated Service Network to obtain critical diagnostic testing capabilities for infectious disease screening and laboratory microbiology applications.
