Blanket Purchase Agreement 36F79721D0224-75H71225A00024

The Indian Health Service (IHS), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Sonora Quest Laboratories LLC on September 17, 2025, for non-emergency laboratory testing procedures with a ceiling value of $28.0 million and a performance period extending through September 29, 2030. Sonora Quest Laboratories LLC, a Phoenix, Arizona-based for-profit clinical laboratory testing services provider and subsidiary of the non-profit Banner Health system, serves as the prime contractor. The BPA is not set aside for small businesses and is structured under the General Services Administration's Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Medical Laboratory Testing and Analysis Services (FSS-621-II) contract vehicle, enabling the IHS to procure on-demand diagnostic testing services across multiple Native American healthcare facilities and service units.

The contract encompasses a comprehensive range of laboratory testing capabilities, including clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, microbiology, and molecular diagnostics, with capabilities for both routine and short turnaround time (STAT) services. Seven task orders issued between September 18-23, 2025, total approximately $4.08 million and support specific IHS healthcare facilities located in Arizona, Utah, California, and Nevada, including locations in Whiteriver, Parker, Phoenix, Polacca, Fort Duchesne, Winterhaven, and Halleck. These task orders, ranging in value from $12,000 to $1.5 million, represent initial call orders against the master BPA and facilitate critical medical decision-making processes for Native American populations served by IHS through the provision of routine diagnostic testing and expedited STAT services with next-day delivery capabilities for standard orders.
