About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 awarded a firm-fixed-price GSA Multiple Award Schedule order to Beckman Coulter, Inc. for $700,000 on October 1, 2026, for FDA-approved Drugs of Abuse Reagents and proprietary consumables.
The order covers a base period from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with four additional one-year ordering periods extending through September 30, 2031. The estimated annual requirement includes approximately 40,000 tests each for five drug assays—Amphetamines/Methamphetamine, Cocaine Metabolites, Opiates, Cannabinoid Metabolites, and Phencyclidine—plus associated calibrators, controls, and instrument-specific consumables, ordered on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum quantities. Performance is at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System's Forensic Toxicology Laboratory.
The award was made under GSAR 538.7104-3 as a limited sources procurement against FSS Contract Number V797D-70260. Market research found no small businesses or veteran-owned businesses capable of supplying Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services National Laboratory Certification Program-validated reagents and consumables for the Beckman Coulter AU480 chemistry analyzer currently installed at the facility. Switching manufacturers would require 2–3 months for method revalidation and recertification, causing nationwide disruption to VA drug testing operations.
