Delivery Order SPE2DE24D0013-SPE2D626F26WF

The Defense Logistics Agency Medical Supply Chain awarded a $9,520 firm fixed-price delivery order to Cepheid Inc. on January 27, 2026, for diagnostic supplies and reagents. This delivery order, designated XPRS4PLEX-10, is scheduled for completion by February 3, 2026, and represents a child contract under Cepheid's larger indefinite delivery vehicle with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The contract involves no set-aside designation and will be performed at Cepheid's headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. The XPRS4PLEX-10 cartridges referenced in the delivery order are part of Cepheid's GeneXpert diagnostic platform, which provides rapid molecular testing for respiratory pathogens and infectious diseases.

Cepheid has established itself as a primary federal supplier of molecular diagnostic solutions across multiple healthcare agencies, including the VA, Indian Health Service, Defense Health Agency, and the U.S. Coast Guard. The company holds two significant indefinite delivery contracts with VA Integrated Service Networks—a $6.7 million agreement with VISN 17 and a $32.8 million agreement with VISN 6—both extending through 2029-2030. These IDV vehicles enable continuous, demand-driven procurement of testing solutions across the VA's distributed network of medical centers. The current delivery order represents routine ordering activity under these established contracting frameworks, supporting the VA's clinical laboratory operations and infectious disease testing requirements.
