About this file
This is a Special Notice for a sole source contract issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for medical diagnostic equipment. The VA East Orange Medical Center intends to purchase two Biofire Filmarray Torch Module Boxes from Biomerieux, Inc. located in Salt Lake City, UT, with a response deadline of 04-18-2025 at 16:00 Eastern Time. The specific modules will enable the medical center's molecular laboratory to run Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, and Blood Culture Identification panels, providing more accurate and faster pathogen testing compared to traditional methods.
The contract is being awarded as a sole source procurement because the modules are compatible only with the existing Biofire Torch system currently in use at the facility. The product service code is 6640, and the NAICS code is 334516. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Contract Specialist Barry Sawyer, who can be reached at Barry.Sawyer@va.gov. No competitive bidding will occur, as this is a direct purchase to expand the existing diagnostic capabilities of the VA medical center's molecular laboratory.

DESCRIPTION
This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract and is not a request for quotes.
The Department of Veterans Affairs East Orange VAMC intends to award a Sole Source open market action contract for the purchase of two (2) Biofire Filmarray Torch Module Boxes.
| Name of Contractor: |
| Biomerieux, Inc. |
| Street Address: |
| 515 Colorow Drive |
| City, State, Zip: |
| Salt Lake City, UT 84108 |
The East Orange VAMC Molecular laboratory located at the East Orange VA Medical Center needs Biofire Torch Modules that have capability for running the BioFire Diagnostics Respiratory panel, Gastrointestinal Panel and Blood Culture Identification panel. The analyzer delivers accurate results testing for the most common pathogens associated with an infectious disease state. Both the RP, GI, and BCID panels will provide improved, comprehensive, result turn-around time as compared to traditional methods and reduce downstream testing.
The reason that this is the recommended sole-source is because the lab already has two Biofire modules but has requested two more to go with current system; the Biofire Torch, which is the only system that the Module boxes have compatibility with. These are add-ons to an existing unit that work seamlessly.
