The Air Force awarded a single-award blanket purchase agreement to Beckman Coulter, Inc. to procure hematology analyzers and reagents. With a potential value of $0.00, the BPA was awarded on September 14, 2020 by the Air Education and Training Command for use through September 13, 2025.
Under the BPA, Beckman Coulter will provide hematology analyzers, reagents, and related supplies to support the Air Force's medical laboratories. The analyzers will automate complete blood count testing, an essential diagnostic tool, while the reagents will enable the continued operation of the equipment. No set-aside was used in the award, indicating the analyzers and reagents were deemed commercially available. Place of performance will be Air Force medical treatment facilities nationwide.
The single-award BPA structure allows the Air Force to streamline future purchases of hematology analyzers, reagents, and associated supplies from the pre-competed vendor. Rather than issuing individual solicitations, they can place orders directly with Beckman Coulter as needs arise. This will save administrative time and effort for both government and industry while ensuring a reliable source for the medical equipment and consumables vital to Air Force health services.
