About this file

This document outlines salient characteristics for molecular diagnostic tests for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 seeks FDA-approved assays that can detect SARS-CoV-2 as well as SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus from nasopharyngeal, anterior nasal, or nasal samples. Assays must be compatible with Cepheid GenXpert systems without requiring alterations and must not negatively impact system performance, results, safety, or equipment lifespan. Pricing provided by offerors must incorporate all applicable handling, hazardous materials, dry ice, and shipping fees.
