The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 23 awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Beckman Coulter, Inc. to provide an all-inclusive urinalysis system, including macroscopic and microscopic testing, on a cost-per-reportable basis. The contract has a ceiling value of $2,832,730 and a period of performance through September 30, 2029. As part of this IDC, the VA issued several firm fixed-price delivery orders to Beckman Coulter, a manufacturer of clinical laboratory equipment, reagents, and services, for the supply of urinalysis systems and related lab tests to VA facilities within VISN 23, which covers the Midwest region. The delivery orders range in value from approximately $17,000 to $94,000 and have completion dates through September 2025. This procurement is an unrestricted contract with no set-aside designation, utilizing NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing.
The original solicitation sought proposals for an IDIQ contract to provide an all-inclusive urinalysis solution capable of random access, reflex to microscopic testing, and integration with the VA's VistA computer system. The estimated annual volume across VISN 23 is 160,900 macroscopic and 80,050 microscopic tests. Beckman Coulter's existing federal contract vehicles with the VA, Defense Health Agency, and Department of the Air Force for the provision of automated diagnostic technologies, consumables, and services enabled the company to successfully compete for and be awarded this IDIQ contract and associated delivery orders.
