About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, awarded a contract to Abbott Laboratories Inc. for Abbott Alinity M Reagents totaling $748,477.20 on October 1, 2026.
The contract (36C26327P0004) was awarded under sole-source procedures to the Iowa City VA Health Care System for laboratory reagents and consumables. The requirement spans one base year (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and three one-year option periods through September 30, 2030. Competition was restricted under FAR 12.102(b) because Abbott is the sole manufacturer and distributor of reagents compatible with the existing Government-owned Abbott Alinity m analyzer; products from other manufacturers are not operationally compatible with this platform. Market research conducted through a Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent to Sole Source identified no alternate sources. Abbott's open-market pricing was determined more advantageous than pricing available through its VA Federal Supply Schedule contract. The procurement is classified under NAICS Code 325413. Network Contracting Office 23 executed the award, with contracting officer Dennis Salmonsen (dennis.salmonsen@va.gov) at the Black Hills Health Care System Fort Meade Campus, Fort Meade, South Dakota.
