About this IDV
Fisher Scientific Company L.L.C., operating through its Fisher Healthcare division, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (VISN 19) effective October 1, 2021, with a ceiling value of $4,000,000 and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. The contract, established without set-aside designation on a full and open competition basis, procures microbiology culture media—essential laboratory consumables used for cultivating and testing microorganisms in clinical and diagnostic settings across Veterans Affairs medical facilities. The contract is structured under the General Services Administration's Federal Supply Schedule 65-VII for In Vitro Diagnostics, Reagents, and Test Kits, with places of performance identified in Aurora, Colorado and Houston, Texas. As a large for-profit subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation, Fisher Scientific brings substantial expertise in supplying scientific instruments, reagents, and laboratory consumables to federal health agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, and Defense Health Agency.
Five task orders (BPA calls) have been issued against this indefinite delivery vehicle between October 1, 2021 and October 1, 2025, with individual ceiling values ranging from $521,598.36 to $3,850,902.66, demonstrating consistent and significant utilization of the agreement. Each task order maintains firm fixed-price pricing and annual performance periods aligned with federal fiscal calendars through September 30 of each year. The cumulative value of all task orders issued through October 2025 totals approximately $8,997,617.96, exceeding the master agreement's $4,000,000 ceiling, which indicates either the ceiling was increased during the contract period or task orders represent exercised options under the original agreement structure. This procurement pattern reflects VISN 19's ongoing demand for reliable supplies of microbiology culture media to support diagnostic and clinical laboratory operations across its veteran patient population.
