6640--VISN Blanket Purchase Agreement NEW Coagulation CPRR

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA VHA) is seeking a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for coagulation testing equipment and services across VISN 19 medical facilities. The solicitation requires a contractor to provide all equipment, reagents, standards, controls, supplies, consumables, and accessories necessary for generating patient Coagulation Cost Per Reportable Result (CPRR) testing. Contractors must deliver fully functional coagulation analyzers capable of performing various clinical tests including Prothrombin Time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), D-Dimer, Fibrinogen, and specialized coagulation assays. The solicitation requires new equipment with Windows 10 or higher operating systems, bi-directional system interfacing, and comprehensive maintenance services. Quotes are due by January 6, 2025 at 10:00 AM MST, with a contract period spanning February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030.

The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and will cover 11 VA medical facilities across multiple states including Colorado, Oklahoma, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. The BPA structure includes a one-year base period with four additional one-year option periods, supporting a total potential contract duration of five years. Testing volume estimates range significantly across facilities, with larger medical centers like Salt Lake City and Oklahoma City requiring between 13,600 to 16,950 annual tests. The contract will be awarded under Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) procurement rules, and contractors must reference an FSS contract number to be considered. Estimated annual testing volumes suggest a potentially substantial contract value, with comprehensive requirements for equipment placement, maintenance, staff training, and ongoing consumables management across the VISN 19 network.
