6640--Electrophoresis and Immunofixation CPT

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (VISN 12) is soliciting quotes for Electrophoresis and Immunofixation Cost Per Test (CPT) laboratory testing services through the Great Lakes Acquisition Center. The procurement seeks a single vendor to provide FDA-approved clinical laboratory analyzers and associated testing services for two VA medical facilities: Clement Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital in Hines, Illinois. Key contract requirements include bi-directional computer interfacing capabilities, random access functionality, minimal daily maintenance demands, and comprehensive quality control provisions, with the vendor responsible for equipment installation, validation studies, training, maintenance, and interface connectivity within 120 days of contract award. The solicitation will be evaluated based on cost per test pricing under a Firm-Fixed-Price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract structure. Quote submission deadline is November 25, 2025, with an anticipated contract start date of November 7, 2025, and the government recently issued an amendment on November 18, 2025 clarifying that the requirement is for reagent rental rather than capital equipment purchase.

This procurement carries no set-aside designations, though small business participation is encouraged. The estimated annual testing volume includes 7,556 serum protein electrophoresis tests, 2,133 urine protein electrophoresis tests, 710 immunofixation electrophoresis tests, 607 alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes tests, 42 high resolution electrophoresis tests, and 1,473 immunotyping tests. The contract will be structured as a five one-year ordering period IDIQ arrangement with Cost Per Test pricing methodology, though specific budget ranges or contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation. Performance will take place at the two specified VA medical facilities located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Hines, Illinois. No current incumbent contractor or previous contract value information is provided in the solicitation materials.
