About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Jun 24, 2025

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 17, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to BD Biosciences. The contract is for a BD FACSLyric flow cytometry system and BD FACS Sample Prep Assistant, along with extensive testing supplies and reagents for use at the VA North Texas Health Care System in Dallas, Texas. The procurement falls under NAICS code 325413 for In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing and PSC category 6550 for In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits and Sets. The system will be located in the Flow Cytometry section of Client Services & Immunopathology within the facility's Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Service. The notice was posted on April 8, 2025, with a response deadline of July 10, 2025.

The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire a comprehensive flow cytometry solution that must be compatible with existing laboratory equipment and software, specifically designed to handle an estimated 2,000 lymphocyte subset tests and 800 leukemia/lymphoma immunophenotyping tests. The contractor must provide complete system delivery and installation, test validation guidance, technical support, reagents and consumables, interface setup for result reporting, instrument maintenance, and both basic and advanced operator training. Key system requirements include automated reagent cocktailing capabilities, specimen and reagent traceability, and primary specimen tube loading functionality with specified throughput capacity. As this is designated as a sole source procurement to BD Biosciences, traditional competitive bidding processes do not apply, and the award is intended specifically for BD's proprietary flow cytometry technology and associated supplies. The contract structure includes three ordering periods under the IDIQ framework, allowing for flexible procurement of supplies and services over the contract term.
