Delivery Order SPE2DE24D0013-SPE2D626F26LV

This delivery order, valued at $2,182.80, was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency Medical Supply Chain to Cepheid Inc. on January 26, 2026, for the provision of XPRS4PLEX-10 diagnostic cartridges under a firm fixed-price contract structure with no set-aside designation. The order is a child contract under Cepheid's broader Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, valued at $6.7 million through December 28, 2029, which establishes the framework for ongoing procurement of molecular diagnostic reagents and test kits for the GeneXpert diagnostic platform. Performance is scheduled to conclude by February 2, 2026, with work to be executed at Cepheid's headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.

Cepheid is a specialized manufacturer of advanced molecular diagnostic systems and reagents headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with established relationships across multiple federal healthcare agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, Defense Health Agency, and the U.S. Coast Guard. The company's core expertise in rapid molecular diagnostic testing for infectious diseases including COVID-19, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and other pathogens positions it as a primary federal supplier of diagnostic solutions. The modest value of this particular delivery order reflects routine replenishment procurement under the larger VA contracting vehicle that supports clinical laboratory operations and infectious disease testing requirements across the federal healthcare system's distributed network of medical centers.
