About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (VISN 19), Network Contracting Office located in Greenwood Village, Colorado, issued a Special Notice of Intent on April 28, 2026, announcing its intention to award a sole source procurement to Roche Diagnostics Corporation for blood gas testing services.

The procurement encompasses arterial and venous blood gas testing, electrolytes, glucose, and lactate testing under a reagent rental agreement model. The solicitation number is 36C25926Q0444, and the requirement falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a business size standard of 1,000 employees.

The current FSS Task Order with Roche expires on April 30, 2026, and the new long-term contract will require an estimated four months for transition and implementation of new analyzers.
