About this IDV
Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 established a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Leica Microsystems Inc. (Leica Biosystems division) on June 11, 2026, with a ceiling of $691,419.27 for immunohistochemical staining instrumentation and reagents.
The BPA supports three VA Medical Centers in the St. Louis, Kansas City, and Topeka areas. Performance runs through June 10, 2027. Work is performed in Deerfield, Illinois.
The underlying acquisition, posted as a sources-sought notice on March 3, 2026, sought fully automated IHC and In-Situ Hybridization stainer instrumentation with capability to process at least 60 slides per run, support 50+ reagent dispensers, and deliver turnaround times of 90 minutes or less. The VA initially anticipated a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-aside under Public Law 109-461, Section 8127, though proceeded with full and open competition.
The BPA operates on a firm-fixed-price, cost-per-test model and includes two years of equipment use, reagents, supplies, consumables, maintenance, emergency repairs, training, and delivery and installation. The contract requires 90 percent monthly uptime maintenance and 24-hour emergency repair response.
A BPA call was issued on June 23, 2026, with a ceiling of $693,399.68, completion by June 22, 2027, under firm fixed pricing.
