About this IDV
Biomerieux Inc. was awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (VISN 17) on May 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $14.4 million and an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2027. This single-award, non-set-aside contract authorizes the procurement of BioFire consumables—including reagent kits and test panels compatible with Biomerieux's proprietary BioFire FilmArray diagnostic instrumentation. The contract was established in response to a Special Notice solicitation posted January 25, 2024, which identified the microbiology laboratory at the San Antonio Veterans Health Care System as the primary end-use location. The agreement is structured under the General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract for In Vitro Diagnostics, Reagents, and Test Kits (FSS-65-VII), with performance location listed as Emigration Canyon, Utah. Two delivery orders issued under this BPA—valued at approximately $1.29 million (awarded May 1, 2024) and $1.20 million (awarded April 30, 2025)—demonstrate active utilization of the contract vehicle for fulfilling ongoing consumables requirements.
The BioFire FilmArray system provides rapid multiplex pathogen detection and identification capabilities, enabling microbiology laboratories to simultaneously identify multiple bacterial, viral, and parasitic organisms from clinical specimens. Under this contract, Biomerieux is obligated to maintain responsive order fulfillment procedures, including acknowledgment of purchase orders within 24 hours and expedited delivery capabilities for emergency clinical needs. The procurement supports the VA's clinical laboratory operations and infectious disease diagnostics across VISN 17 facilities, ensuring reliable access to specialized reagent kits necessary for the operation of government-owned BioFire instrumentation. The non-competitive award reflects Biomerieux's sole-source status as the manufacturer of BioFire consumables, which are not interchangeable with competing platforms and represent essential components of the VA's established diagnostic infrastructure.
