The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VISN 21) awarded a $2 million Total Small Business set-aside indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Diagnostic Pathology Medical Group, Inc. (DPMG) in October 2021 to provide recurring histopathology services through September 2024. Under this IDC, the VA VISN 21 has issued firm fixed price delivery orders to DPMG valued at $139,851.14 in 2021, $170,160 in 2022, and $173,640 in 2023 to date. The services include tissue processing, slide preparation, and transportation between DPMG's Sacramento, California laboratory and the local VA medical center to facilitate healthcare delivery to veterans. The original pre-solicitation indicates the VA VISN 21 sought to efficiently procure these histopathology support services, which encompass processing, cutting, and staining of tissue samples to enable pathology diagnosis and interpretation at VA facilities in the region. The VA VISN 21 has also awarded separate firm fixed price delivery order contracts directly to DPMG, including a $43,410 award in 2023 and a $31,990.08 award in 2022, to provide continued histopathology services. These delivery orders were likely issued against the larger $2 million IDC held by DPMG. DPMG, an independently owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business, has provided these specialized laboratory services to support VA healthcare programs for over 90 years.
