Delivery Order SPE2DE24D0013-SPE2D625F3SLW

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency's Medical Supply Chain division awarded a delivery order valued at $2,040 to Cepheid Inc. (UEI: W6HQTMWB9Q28) on September 17, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2025. This firm fixed-price delivery order, designated XPCOV2/FLU/RSV-10, carries no set-aside provisions and will be performed at Cepheid's facility in Sunnyvale, California. The contract designation references diagnostic testing for COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus, consistent with Cepheid's core business of molecular diagnostic solutions for infectious disease detection.

Cepheid is a for-profit manufacturer specializing in advanced molecular diagnostic systems and test kits, with an established track record supplying diagnostic equipment, reagents, and testing services to multiple federal healthcare agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Indian Health Service. This delivery order likely draws from one of Cepheid's existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts, most notably the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 IDV valued at $2.5 million, which covers PCR testing services for conditions including COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and other laboratory microbiology diagnostics. The relatively modest order value suggests this is a routine procurement fulfilling ongoing federal diagnostic testing requirements.
