About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 awarded a three-month, firm-fixed-price bridge contract valued at $290,980.41 to Beckman Coulter, Inc. on October 1, 2026, for hematology and chemistry laboratory testing services at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center.
The contract runs from October 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027. Services include testing equipment, equipment service, reagents, calibrators, controls, consumables, and parts necessary to maintain operational systems for test result reporting. The award was made as a sole-source Federal Supply Schedule order under GSAM/R 538.7104-3(b) without set-aside. Beckman Coulter holds active FSS Contract V797D-70260 and was the exclusive source available on the FSS schedule. The justification cites urgent and compelling need: the facility's long-term contract cannot be fully implemented until facility construction completes (anticipated December 2026), and failure to execute the bridge contract before October 1, 2026, would shut down clinical laboratory operations. The contracting office is the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 4 at Coatesville VAMC.
