About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VISN 5, supporting the VA Maryland Health Care System.

The total quantity includes 80 MRSA test kits, 4 Carba-R kits, 264 COVID-2/Flu/RSV Plus kits, 10 C. Difficile kits, 4 MTB kits, and 60 collection devices. The justification emphasizes that only Cepheid-manufactured reagents can be used with the Genexpert Instrument, as alternative reagents could damage the equipment and produce false test results.
