About this file
This is a Special Notice announcing the Department of Veterans Affairs' intent to negotiate a sole source contract with ARUP Laboratories, Inc. for Reference Laboratory Testing Services at VA Illiana Healthcare System in Danville, Illinois. The Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC) is conducting this procurement under simplified acquisition procedures (41 U.S.C. 1901) and Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 8 as Required Sources of Supplies and Services. The contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed Price Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with a 12-month ordering period covering the performance period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The NAICS code is 621511 (Medical Laboratories) with a business size standard of $41.5 Million.
The primary purpose of this sole source contract is to maintain continuous reference laboratory testing services critical to patient care while VA VISN 12 transitions to a new electronic health record management (EHRM) system. The Government anticipates that EHRM implementation will require establishing new test databases at significant cost, making immediate replacement procurement impractical. A new competitive five-year IDIQ solicitation is planned for approximately 12–18 months following this 12-month sustainment contract to align with full EHRM implementation. Interested firms that believe they can meet these requirements must submit written notification to Contracting Officer Erika Cannaday (erika.cannaday@va.gov) by 9:00 AM Central Time on Monday, June 22, 2026. The Government reserves the sole discretion to determine whether to compete this procurement based on responses received. No solicitation documents are available, and telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
