About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 has awarded a sole-source Blanket Purchase Agreement to Beckman Coulter, Inc. for automated urinalysis instrumentation, digital imaging microscopy, reagents, calibrators, controls, training, service, and interfacing under contract 36C25627A0007 with an award value of $713,264.91, effective October 1, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B), asserting that only Beckman Coulter is capable of providing the supplies and services at the required quality level because the supplies and services are unique and highly specialized. Market research identified three potential vendors on GSA schedule under SIN 605-4a (Beckman Coulter, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, and Sysmex America), but determined that only Beckman has both the automated macroscopic urine chemical analysis instrumentation and automated digital urine microscopy instrumentation currently deployed and validated across all participating VISN 16 laboratories. Beckman's equipment is already interfaced with VA VistA, staff are trained and competent on existing systems, and procedures are established; transitioning to another contractor would cause unacceptable delays and service interruption to veteran patient care. The BPA covers a six-month base period (October 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027) and a three-month option period, with performance across eight medical centers and twenty outpatient clinic laboratories. Work is performed at VISN 16 facilities in the South Central region. The award uses simplified procedures under FAR 13.5 for one source and is applied against FSS Contract Number V797D-70260.
