About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 has awarded a sole-source contract to Abbott Rapid Diagnostics Informatics, Inc. for a Data Management System on August 31, 2026, for a total value of $439,411.50.
The justification cites 41 USC 3304(a)(1), only one responsible source, on the basis that Abbott's RALS (Remote Automated Laboratory System) is a proprietary, web-based platform developed, owned, and supported exclusively by Abbott, and no third-party vendor is authorized to provide, maintain, or replicate RALS software, hardware, interfaces, licensing, or technical support. This is a follow-on procurement supporting the Salt Lake City Health Care System Pathology and Laboratory Department, as the current contract 36C25921C005 expires August 31, 2026. The contract requires ongoing software usage, maintenance, and upgrades to ensure continued compatibility with government-owned equipment including six Cepheid GeneXpert 2 Express units, nine Abbott ID Now Point of Care Analyzers, 15 Clinitek analyzers, 14 i-STAT devices, and 60 Abbott Glucose POC analyzers, among other devices. Market research confirmed that competitors (Roche Diagnostics, Siemens Healthineers, Danaher Corporation, BD, Clinisys, TELCOR, Nova Biomedical, and Orchard Software) offer alternative solutions but cannot ensure compatibility with the VA's existing infrastructure and validated connectivity requirements. Transitioning to a different system would require duplicative validation efforts and disrupt laboratory operations. The period of performance is the base contract plus four option years with an estimated total cost of $488,235.00. Place of performance is the Salt Lake City Health Care System. The contractor is located at 915 E High Street, Suite 500, Charlottesville, Virginia 22902.
