About this IDV
Alba Bioscience, Inc., a Chicago-based subsidiary of Quotient Biodiagnostics, Inc., was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $125,000 by Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (VISN 17) under the General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule 65-VII for In Vitro Diagnostics, Reagents, and Tests. The BPA, awarded April 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027, supports the procurement of blood typing reagents and related immunohematology products essential for transfusion services and diagnostic testing across VA medical facilities. The award was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, though Alba Bioscience typically competes competitively in the federal marketplace based on its specialized product offerings. The pre-solicitation opportunity was posted February 1, 2022, with a due date of February 8, 2022, indicating a streamlined acquisition process through the existing GSA Schedule contract vehicle.
The contract deliverables encompass a comprehensive portfolio of blood banking materials, including Alba Bioscience's proprietary ALBACLONE monoclonal antibodies targeting multiple blood group antigens, ALBACYTE antibody identification panels in various cell configurations, antibody screening products, ALBASURE quality control kits, and specialized additives such as ALBAHANCE bovine serum albumin and LISS solutions. Four documented task orders issued between April 2022 and April 2025, each valued at $16,514.42 with twelve-month performance periods, demonstrate consistent utilization of the BPA across VISN 17 locations in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Illinois. These recurring annual orders reflect the mission-critical nature of blood banking supplies to VA healthcare operations and Alba Bioscience's established position as a trusted supplier of specialized immunohematology reagents within the federal healthcare system, with task order activity extending through March 31, 2026.
