About this file
This Sources Sought Notice, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8 (NCO 8), indicates the agency's intent to pursue a Sole Source, Fixed-Price Single Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Cepheid for GeneXpert Infinity Reagents. The procurement will cover an extensive range of infectious disease testing reagents, including tests for MRSA, C. diff, CRE, CT/NG, Streptococcus, SARS-CoV-2, Influenza, RSV, and Vaginal Infection Molecular Tests, to be used on the Cepheid GeneXpert Infinity system already owned by the facility.
The solicitation (Number 36C24826Q0193) is scheduled to close on January 9, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, with responses to be emailed to Contracting Officer Moneque Rodriguez. The government believes Cepheid is the only authorized provider capable of meeting their specific needs, citing unique or specialized supply requirements. Interested parties may submit responses to potentially influence the procurement process, though the government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with a competitive or sole source contract. If no alternative responses are received, the VA will move forward with the sole source acquisition from Cepheid.
