6640--LONG TERM PROCUREMENT - BASE PLUS 4 INC. Cost Per Test Contract Immunoassay Tests for Portland VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is seeking contractors to provide cost per reportable test immunoassay services for the Portland VA Medical Center through a long-term procurement structured as a base plus four incremental cost contract. This procurement falls under NAICS code 325413 for In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing and PSC category 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. The solicitation number 36C26025Q0624 was originally posted on June 12, 2025, with the Network Contracting Office 20 in Vancouver, WA serving as the issuing office. An amendment was issued on June 27, 2025, extending the original solicitation closing date from June 30, 2025, to July 3, 2025, with offers now due by 17:00 PDT on the new deadline. The procurement documents do not specify detailed evaluation criteria in the summary provided, though the contract structure indicates a cost-per-test pricing model will be utilized.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and appears to be open to all qualified contractors in the marketplace. No incumbent contractors or potential vendors are identified in the available documentation. The contract structure as a "Base Plus 4 INC" indicates a base period with four additional incremental options, suggesting a multi-year service arrangement, though specific performance periods and dollar values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials. The cost-per-test structure implies that payment will be tied directly to the volume of immunoassay tests performed, allowing for variable costs based on actual utilization at the Portland VA Medical Center. Given the long-term nature of the procurement and the base-plus-options structure, this contract likely represents a significant ongoing commitment for laboratory testing services at the medical facility.
