About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 has awarded a sole-source FSS-BPA to BioMerieux for BioFire TORCH system reagents and maintenance services, with an estimated total value of $6,023,246.25.
The justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii), only one responsible source. BioMerieux is the sole manufacturer of the BioFire TORCH instruments owned by the Government, and only BioMerieux-manufactured reagents are compatible with these laboratory analyzers. Only BioMerieux-authorized technicians are permitted to service the instruments, and the company has no authorized resellers or distributors. The Government confirmed through written correspondence with BioMerieux on July 13 that no third-party alternatives exist. The contract is placed against existing FSS Contract Number 36F79724D0020. The period of performance runs from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2031 (base plus four option years). The acquisition supports six VA Medical Centers located in Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Utah. The contracting officer intends to negotiate with BioMerieux to secure additional discounts beyond FSS pricing already negotiated. When the systems reach end-of-life status in approximately five years, the Government will reassess operational needs and determine whether purchasing new systems or pursuing a lease arrangement would be more cost-effective.
