This is a firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to Abbott Rapid Diagnostics Informatics, Inc. to provide software, middleware, and support services for the VA's Remote Automated Laboratory System (RALS) under the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 10. The $49,934 contract runs from April 5, 2024 to March 14, 2029 and does not have a set-aside designation.
The award was made sole-source to Abbott Rapid Diagnostics Informatics as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the RALS software and middleware, as they are the only firm capable of providing the necessary supplies and services to maintain the system without substantial duplication of cost or delays. The contract requires Abbott to provide user licenses, implementation, training, and ongoing support for the RALS software and middleware to integrate point-of-care medical devices and diagnostic testing systems into the VA's electronic health record system. Similar RALS software and middleware contracts have been awarded to Abbott across multiple VA and Department of Defense facilities to support clinical decision-making and data accessibility.
