The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Arup Laboratories Inc. for reference laboratory testing services. Under the agreement and associated calls, Arup will provide testing to support VHA programs in multiple locations across Colorado and Utah. The calls have a combined value of over $11.8 million and performance periods ranging from April 2021 through March 2023. Testing will be conducted under Arup's Medical Laboratory Testing and Analysis Services schedule held by its parent company, the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The reference laboratory testing procured through this agreement aims to efficiently meet the specialized diagnostic needs of veterans served by VHA facilities in the region. By leveraging established GSA schedule pricing, VHA can reliably access critical testing services through a streamlined acquisition process. The calls were awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis to Arup's facilities in Aurora and Grand Junction, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah. The largest single call was valued at $5 million for Grand Junction testing from April 2022 through March 2023. Colorado and Utah testing will support VHA Network 19, serving veterans in those states. By consolidating reference laboratory requirements and standardizing provider relationships, VHA can ensure veterans consistently receive high-quality diagnostic care regardless of location. The agreement structure also provides flexibility to adjust testing volumes across the multiple performance periods as clinical needs evolve.
