Blanket Purchase Agreement 36F79718D0351-36C24625A0001

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 6, has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Diagnostica Stago Inc., a manufacturer and supplier of medical devices and consumables for hemostasis and thrombosis testing. The BPA, worth up to $3,516,246.83 over its 5-year period of performance, enables VISN 6 to rapidly procure Diagnostica Stago's STA line of compact and automated hemostasis analyzers, specialty coagulation reagents and controls, and preventative maintenance or cost-per-test services. These products and services support clinical laboratory operations at VA and Department of Defense (DOD) medical facilities across the country, aiding in the evaluation of bleeding disorders, clotting factor deficiencies, anticoagulation therapy management, and thrombosis risk in patients. The BPA is issued against Diagnostica Stago's existing General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule 66-III for Critical Analyzers, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, and does not have a set-aside designation.

Diagnostica Stago, a foreign-owned for-profit organization, has established several Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with federal healthcare agencies, including a $655,000 BPA with VISN 8 and a $650,000 IDV with VISN 17 for coagulation testing products and services. These pre-existing contract vehicles allow the VA, DOD, and other federal customers to rapidly procure Diagnostica Stago's specialized coagulation testing capabilities to support patient care and medical research programs. The VISN 6 BPA represents one of several task orders issued against these broader IDVs held by the company.
