This is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency's Medical Supply Chain unit to Abbott Laboratories Inc., a large pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturer. The single-award contract, valued at up to $40,042,708.72, aims to procure a variety of medical equipment, diagnostic testing supplies, and related products to support healthcare programs for the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs.
The contract does not have any set-aside designations and allows for the issuance of firm-fixed price delivery orders over the contract's 10-year period of performance through September 2029. Task orders issued to date include purchases of I-STAT point-of-care testing cartridges, controls, and other consumables used in blood gas and chemistry analyzers. These products are being delivered to military and VA medical facilities located in North Chicago, Illinois. The availability of this IDC vehicle, as well as Abbott's existing Blanket Purchase Agreement against its GSA Schedule contract and prime vendor IDIQ with the DLA, enable the government to streamline procurement of critical medical materials from a pre-qualified supplier to meet the evolving needs of their healthcare programs.
