About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 issued a Limited Sources Justification for a Bridge Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide urinalysis testing instrumentation and services across 8 medical centers and 20 outpatient clinic laboratories within their network. The contract was awarded to Beckman Coulter, Inc. on October 1, 2025, for a six-month period extending through March 31, 2026, using FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for One Source procurement. The services encompass fully automated urinalysis IQ Workcells, macroscopic urine chemical analysis analyzers, reagents, calibrators, controls, training, preventative maintenance, equipment repair, and interfacing of test results into the VA VistA lab package. The sole source justification was based on Beckman Coulter being the only contractor capable of meeting the requirements, with their instrumentation already deployed and validated at participating laboratories, ensuring continuous patient testing without disruption while a long-term solicitation is developed. Although market research identified potential alternatives including Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics and Sysmex America, the total estimated contract value remains redacted in the documentation. This bridge contract represents a critical continuity measure to maintain uninterrupted laboratory operations across the extensive VISN 16 healthcare network.
