Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C24625D0066

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $167,300 to Roche Diagnostics Corporation, a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of in vitro diagnostics and medical laboratory equipment. The contract, which has a period of performance through June 30, 2030, provides for the delivery of Roche LIAT consumables, including test kits and controls for COVID-19, Influenza A/B, RSV, and Group A Streptococcus testing, to the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 6.

This IDC was awarded as a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 authority, with the government determining that Roche Diagnostics is the only source capable of providing the required specialized LIAT consumables. A related task order valued at $33,460 has been issued to supply these consumables to the Charles George VA Medical Center. The VA published a Special Notice to the market announcing its intent to make this sole source award, providing a brief window for interested parties to demonstrate their capability as comparable alternatives, though the government retained sole discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract.
