No set-aside applies. Place of performance includes Karius facilities in Harlingen, Texas and Redwood City, California. The originating solicitation, posted as a Special Notice on February 3, 2025, sought laboratory fee-basis testing services for the Karius TestA, a next-generation sequencing blood test capable of detecting over 1,000 pathogens from a single blood sample. The VA identified Karius as the exclusive provider of this test with no equivalent alternatives available, citing sole-source authority under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The base period runs from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026, with three one-year option periods extending through March 31, 2029.
Testing is priced at $2,000 per test. Karius must maintain Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments licensure and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliance and must deliver detailed test reports meeting federal healthcare standards, with performance focused on identifying and quantifying microbial cell-free DNA from plasma using metagenomic sequencing technology.
Two delivery orders have been issued under this contract: a $22,000 order placed April 1, 2025, with performance in Harlingen, Texas and ultimate completion by March 31, 2026, and a $22,000 order placed April 1, 2026, with performance in Redwood City, California and ultimate completion by March 31, 2027.
