About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 awarded contract 36C25726D0032 to Cepheid on December 19, 2025, for the provision of FDA-approved molecular COVID testing reagents and test kits. The total contract award value is $6,256,500.00 for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement spanning three ordering periods from March 2025 through March 2028. The procurement encompasses 576 ten-test kits of XPRESS COV-2/FLU/RSV PLUS and 216 ten-test kits of XPRESS COVID PLUS, which are compatible with existing Cepheid GeneXpert equipment currently deployed across five Cepheid instruments at various VA healthcare facilities in the North Texas region. The sole source award was justified based on Cepheid's exclusive manufacturing status of these specific test cartridges and the lack of alternative vendors capable of supporting the VA's existing diagnostic infrastructure.
