About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 is executing a sole-source procurement for BioFire Panel Kits in support of the Minneapolis VA Healthcare System, with a proposal due date of October 6. The procurement is justified under FAR 8.405-6(b) as items peculiar to one manufacturer, with no set-aside.
Place of performance is Minneapolis, Minnesota. The procurement targets Biomerieux, Inc., the sole source manufacturer of systems and software compatible with the Minneapolis VA's existing analyzers. The specific items comprise 30 units of GI Panel IVD 30 Tests, 10 units of Blood Culture Identification Panel 2, 4 units of BioFire ME Panel 30 pouch kits, 120 units of BioFire RP2.1 Panel 30 Pouch Kits, and 10 units of BioFire PN Panel 30 Pouch Kits. These are FDA-cleared assays for testing GI pathogens, blood culture, respiratory pathogens, meningitis/encephalitis, and pneumonia. The estimated acquisition value is $636,905.60 against GSA FSS Contract Number 36F79724D0020. Market research identified no authorized small-business resellers of Biomerieux products. The VA's standardized operating procedures and validation processes are specific to Biomerieux equipment; switching manufacturers would require a 90-to-120-day crossover period with duplication costs. The NAICS code is 325413, In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing; the PSC is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. The Contracting Officer certification was signed October 1, 2026.
