The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a firm fixed price purchase order contract to Illumina, Inc., a manufacturer of sequencing and genomic analysis instruments and reagents. The contract, valued at $274,063.35, is for the provision of proprietary DNA testing kits, including the Multi-Ethnic Global, EPIC, and PsychArray Kits, to support the VA's genetic analysis and research requirements. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Illumina has previously provided sequencing systems, reagents, and bioinformatics services to federal agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control, and Department of Agriculture through prime contracts and subcontracts. The award was made without competition, as the VA determined Illumina to be the sole provider of the required proprietary products.
