The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VISN1) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to enter into a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Hologic Sales and Service, LLC. The notice pertains to the procurement of in-vitro diagnostic substances and reagents for histology and cytology testing. Hologic is identified as the sole proprietary manufacturer and domestic distributor of the ThinPrep system, including various processors, imaging systems, and associated disposables. The procurement covers multiple VA healthcare facilities across New England, including locations in Boston, Connecticut, Providence, Bedford, Maine, Manchester, White River Junction, and Central Western Massachusetts. The special notice is specifically categorized under NAICS code 325413 for In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to establish a comprehensive BPA for critical laboratory supplies and reagents essential for medical diagnostics. Hologic will be required to provide a continuously stocked inventory of high-quality reagents with clearly marked expiration dates, with a mandatory minimum 6-month shelf life for all products. The contractor must deliver supplies directly to individual laboratories within 2 days and comply with VA privacy and security requirements. Quarterly reporting will be mandatory, and the company must follow specific protocols for product substitutions, recalls, and potential corporate mergers. As a sole source procurement, no competitive bidding process is anticipated, and Hologic is the only eligible contractor due to its unique position as the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the ThinPrep system. The contract opportunity is open from June 5, 2025, with a response deadline of June 18, 2025, targeting the procurement of essential medical diagnostic supplies for VA healthcare facilities.
