Luminex Corp, a foreign-owned manufacturer of advanced biological testing technologies headquartered in Austin, Texas, was awarded a $55,884 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Office of Administrative Services Procurement Management Branch for polystyrene bead kits. The contract, issued on February 12, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of February 25, 2016, was performed in Athens, Georgia. No set-aside designation was utilized in this competitive award.

The company maintains multiple significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with federal agencies, including a $5.76 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Air Force's 711th Human Performance Wing for Luminex reagents and a $519,140 agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs for polymerase chain reaction testing services. These procurement vehicles, primarily issued under the GSA Schedule for In Vitro Diagnostics, Reagents, and Test Kits, underscore the federal government's reliance on Luminex's specialized diagnostic technologies and laboratory equipment for critical public health and defense applications.
