About this opportunity
The Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC), on behalf of Veterans Integrated Service Network 12, intends to award a sole-source contract to Quest Diagnostics Incorporated for reference laboratory testing services at Captain James A Lovell Federal Health Care Center, with written notification of alternative capability due by 4:00 PM Central Time, September 23, 2026.
The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed Price IDIQ with a nine-month ordering period from October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The procurement is conducted under 41 U.S.C. 1901 Simplified Acquisition Procedures with a determination that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The purpose is to sustain existing reference laboratory testing services while legacy VISN 12 transitions to the Cerner electronic health record management system, which requires establishing new test databases at significant cost to the Government. A consolidated five-year IDIQ will be issued after EHRM implementation to streamline future reference lab testing procurement.
NAICS 621511 applies with a $41.5 million business size standard. No formal solicitation documents are available. Any firm believing it can meet these requirements must submit written notification to Contracting Officer Erika Cannaday at erika.cannaday@va.gov by the September 23 deadline. The Government reserves the right to not compete based on responses received.

The Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Quest Diagnostics Incorporated for Reference Lab Testing Services for Captain James A Lovell Federal Health Care Center. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Reference Lab Testing services are already in use. This request is for sustainment of an existing service.
This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 Simplified Acquisition Procedures as implemented in RFO 12.102, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This contract will be a Firm-Fixed Price IDIQ, 9-month ordering period, with a performance period of October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 621511 with a business size standard of $41.5 Million. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with RFO Part 6.103-1. The purpose of this sole source contract is to provide continuous testing affecting patient care while the rest of legacy VISN 12 transitions to the Cerner electronic health record management (EHRM) system, which will necessitate establishing new test databases at a significant cost to the Government. Solicitation for a new consolidated five-year IDIQ will be undertaken to align with EHRM implementation across legacy VISN12, creating a streamlined reference lab testing acquisition, and mitigating redundant administrative contracting burden.
No solicitation documents are available and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, any firm that believes it can meet these requirements may give written notification to the Contracting Officer by 4:00 PM Local Time (Central) Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Information must be sent to the Contracting Officer, Erika Cannaday at erika.cannaday@va.gov. Responses received will be considered, however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
