The BPA has a total potential value of approximately $305,000 and includes firm-fixed-price call orders for items such as serology supplies, laboratory supplies, swabs, vacutainer products, chlorine test kits, isopropyl alcohol, sterile gloves, graduated laboratory cylinders, sterile cotton swabs, pipette tips, cell culture media, and various chemicals and reagents. The BPA is intended to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) public health mission related to disease detection, prevention, and control. Multiple task orders have been issued against the BPA, with values ranging from $10,000 to over $114,000 each.

The scope of these task orders encompasses items such as coveralls, laboratory equipment, forensic imaging systems, borescopes, safety cabinets, and even specialized protein purification systems.
