About this award

MaineHealth, a Portland, Maine-based nonprofit healthcare system, was awarded a $52.7K firm fixed-price purchase order by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 to provide specialized research laboratory analysis services. The contract, which commenced on September 25, 2025, and concludes by September 24, 2026, supports a research study on bone marrow fat and skeletal health in type 2 diabetes among veterans conducted by the San Francisco VA Healthcare System. The scope of work includes advanced laboratory analysis of specialized research analytes from serum and plasma specimens, specifically eight hormones and analytes (IGF-1, Testosterone, Estradiol, Sclerostin, Adiponectin, Leptin, pentosidine, and carboxymethyl lysine) plus three biochemical bone turnover markers (CTX, P1NP, and TRAcP5b). No small business set-aside was used in this procurement.

MaineHealth was selected as a sole source vendor based on its specialized capabilities, advanced instrumentation available only in dedicated research settings, and leadership by internationally recognized physician-scientists in endocrinology and skeletal biology. The organization's selection was announced via Special Notice on August 27, 2025, with a response deadline of September 3, 2025. This contract represents a targeted procurement supporting the VA's health research mission and aligns with MaineHealth's established federal contracting history, which includes prior work with the VA and NIH on specialized medical services and research initiatives across the New England region.
