The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 awarded a single award indefinite delivery contract to Hologic, Inc. to procure Panther systems, assay kits, and associated supplies for polymerase chain reaction testing. The potential value of the contract is $4.1 million to be delivered from September 2020 through September 2021. Two firm fixed price delivery orders have been issued against this contract vehicle totaling $3 million for Panther supplies and Panther and COVID-19/PCR testing services. The supplies and services are being provided to several VA medical centers in New England to support the agency's ongoing COVID-19 response efforts. The original solicitation sought Panther systems from Hologic, Inc. as the sole source provider to enable six VA medical centers to offer high-volume COVID-19 testing while continuing other clinical testing on a single platform. The specialized Panther system and associated supplies are only available from Hologic without delay to meet the exigent needs of the VA for pandemic testing and care of veteran patients. No set-aside provisions were applied to these contract awards given the urgent need to procure these specialized products and services directly from the branded manufacturer.
