About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Regional Procurement Office East awarded a $22 million contract to Metabolon, Inc. for metabolomics analysis services supporting the Million Veterans Program, with award date September 17, 2026.
The contract is a five-year, firm fixed price IDIQ running from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031, with an estimated volume of 10,000 to 20,000 samples annually. Award was made as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 (commercial IDIQ). The VA justified sole source on platform continuity: the department has invested $15 million processing over 100,000 samples across two prior datasets using Metabolon's platform; switching vendors would introduce systematic biases incompatible with historical data and compromise longitudinal analysis of the research investment. Metabolon's qualifications include capacity for at least 20,000 samples annually, a validated chemical reference library of over 5,400 metabolites, reproducibility of 2–3% coefficient of variation, and over 1,000 peer-reviewed publications citing the platform. Market research identified eight vendors; seven were eliminated due to insufficient annual processing capacity, incompatible instrument platforms, foreign locations raising BIOSECURE Act compliance concerns, or inadequate metabolite coverage. A notice of intent to sole source posted to SAM from February 25 to March 11, 2026, received two responses. Place of performance is Morrisville, North Carolina. PSC code is AN12 (Laboratory and Scientific Services); NAICS code is 541380.
