About this file

This is a Statement of Work for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) under the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) VISN 22 Point of Care (POC) Cost Per Test (CPT) contract. The procurement covers reagents, consumables, equipment maintenance, and related services for blood gas and co-oximetry testing across eight VA healthcare facilities in California and Arizona: Greater Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Diego, Loma Linda, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Prescott, and Tucson. The contractor must provide continuously stocked inventory of reagents, standards, controls, supplies, and disposables compatible with Siemens RapidPoint and EPOC analyzers, with expiration dates clearly marked. Emergency supply delivery is required within 24 hours at no additional cost if supplies are defective or routine deliveries fail. All deliveries must occur under normal test load volumes for one week of operations.

The contract is structured as a Base-Plus 4-Option Year Firm-Fixed-Price agreement running from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031. The Cost Per Test pricing model—defined under Federal Supply Schedule FSC Group 66, Part III—requires contractors to provide a single price per test that includes all reagents, standards, quality controls, supplies, consumable/disposable items, parts, accessories, all necessary maintenance (preventive and emergency repairs), equipment delivery and installation, staff training, and equipment removal. The contractor must maintain full service contracts for Siemens RapidPoint and EPOC equipment including unlimited Monday-Friday service visits (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time), 24/7 phone support, all warranted repair parts and labor, preventive maintenance, 24-hour emergency response capability, remote access connectivity, and Siemens-trained and certified technicians. The SOW specifies detailed reagent and material numbers for compatibility requirements and lists 20 specific analyzers across the participating sites requiring service coverage.
