About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 17 awarded a firm-fixed-price contract with a base period and four option years to Biomerieux Inc. for the procurement of various Biomerieux/BioFire consumable test panels. The contract, valued at $6,009,158.20, will provide 87 BioFire RP2.1 Panels, 30 BioFire BCID2 Panels, 75 FilmArray GI Panels, 20 FilmArray ME Panels, 30 FilmArray Pneumo Panels, and 30 BioFire Joint Infection Panels.

Notice text
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 17, intends to award a Firm-Fixed priced, Base plus four (4) Option Year contract to Biomerieux/BioFire Consumables for procurement of the following services:
Item # Description/Part Number* Qty
423742 BioFire RP2.1 Panel, 30 Tests 87

RFIT-ASY-0116 Filmarray GI Panel, 30 Tests 75

RFIT-ASY-0144 Filmarray Pneumo Panel, 30 Tests 30
RFIT-ASY-0138 BioFire Joint Infection Panel, 30 Tests 30
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. Awarded contract 36C25724A0023 to BIOMERIEUX INC for 6009158.20 on 2024-05-01.
