The total award amount is $6,009,158.20. The contract will provide the following consumable panels: BioFire RP2.1 Panel, BioFire BCID2 Panel, FilmArray GI Panel, FilmArray ME Panel, FilmArray Pneumo Panel, and BioFire Joint Infection Panel. The VA indicated these proprietary consumables are required because the government-owned BioFire instrumentation cannot utilize third-party reagents without voiding warranties.

To avoid any wastage in resources, the reagents needed to be brand name. The instrumentation currently in place cannot utilize third party reagents, as they do not currently exist, furthermore, their usage would void any current warranties tied to the instrumentation which requires usage of only the proprietary Biomerieux BioFire Kits. The BioFire instrumentation is government owned and, to procure a new instrumentation to accommodate different reagents would not provide best value to the taxpayer, and more importantly could potentially delay patient care. These reagent kits will be used in the Microbiology Laboratory located in the Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service’s San Antonio Laboratories of the STVHCS.
The executed contract actions are for supplies, which the Government negotiated with only one source. The statutory authorities permitting other than full and open competition for the requirement are 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
