The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a multiple-award Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract to Abbott Laboratories Inc., a subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories, for in-vitro diagnostics, reagents, and test kits. This $329.4 million contract, with a period of performance through February 2026, enables the VA to efficiently procure a range of medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and related consumables from Abbott to support veteran healthcare programs across the VA's regional networks.
Under this FSS contract, the VA has issued numerous firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Abbott Laboratories Inc. for the provision of glucose meters, test strips, sensors, and other diabetes management products. These orders, valued from $20,000 to over $200,000, are being fulfilled at Abbott's facility in North Chicago, Illinois and delivered to VA hospitals and clinics nationwide. The contracts do not include any set-aside designations, reflecting Abbott's status as a large, established manufacturer and government contractor. The flexible nature of the FSS vehicle allows the VA to leverage Abbott's expertise and product portfolio to meet the evolving medical supply needs of its veteran patient population.
