This federal contract IDV is a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 16 to Diagnostica Stago Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of medical devices and consumables for hemostasis and thrombosis testing. The BPA provides a mechanism for the VA and Department of Defense (DOD) to rapidly procure Diagnostica Stago's coagulation testing instrumentation, reagents, and supplies to support clinical laboratory operations at VA and DOD medical facilities nationwide. This includes the company's STA line of compact and automated hemostasis analyzers, specialty coagulation reagents and controls, and preventative maintenance or cost-per-test services. The contracted products and services will enable prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, and D-dimer testing capabilities to aid in evaluating bleeding disorders, clotting factor deficiencies, anticoagulation therapy management, and thrombosis risk in patients. The BPA awards, valued up to $4.1 million collectively, were issued against Diagnostica Stago's existing GSA Schedule 66-III for Critical Analyzers, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, and do not have any set-aside designations. Diagnostica Stago also holds several other Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with the VA and Department of Defense for specialized coagulation testing products and services.
