About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 awarded contract 36C24E26D0008 to Tempus AI, Inc. on February 11, 2026, for high-throughput molecular testing services supporting the Million Veteran Program. The awarded contract value is $35,239,692.50 under a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) structure with a five-year ordering period from September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2030. Services include managing Tasso+ capillary blood collection kits, performing targeted methylation panels and genomic profiling assays, processing large sample volumes, conducting quality control checks on coded human samples from the VA biorepository, and delivering fully annotated results with quality metrics and sample metadata. The procurement was justified as a sole source award based on Tempus AI's unique qualifications and the critical need for service continuity, with the justification citing that introducing a new contractor would require over 10,000 hours for assay validation, potential reruns costing $200,000-$500,000, and could significantly delay ongoing VA research efforts.
