About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 17, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source procurement to Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics for an Automated Blood Bank Analyzer. The contract will be executed as a cost-per-test agreement for the South Texas Veterans Health Care System's Audie L. Murphy Division in San Antonio, Texas. The procurement encompasses the Ortho Vision Analyzer, associated equipment, full service coverage, and necessary operational supplies. Market research conducted by the VA confirmed that Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is the sole vendor capable of providing a direct replacement for existing analyzer instrumentation and required linearity supplies. The contract is being pursued under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which allows for procurement from only one responsible source.
The Special Notice provides contractors an opportunity to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within five days of publication to demonstrate potential alternative sources. The contract includes comprehensive provisions such as training, service, maintenance, and recurring 28-day shipments of specific testing supplies from June 2025 through May 2026. Key equipment to be procured includes the Ortho Vision Analyzer, external drain kit, keyboard, table, printer, racks, and Ortho Connect Lab Management Software. While no set-aside has been designated, interested parties are encouraged to review the detailed requirements and submit responsive documentation. The VA will use any received proposals to assess whether a comparable source might be available and potentially more advantageous to the government. If no affirmative written responses are received by the February 7, 2025 deadline, the contract will be issued to Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics without further notice. The procurement falls under the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing NAICS category and Laboratory Equipment and Supplies PSC category.
