About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency's Healthcare Contracting Division has issued a sole-source justification for awarding a task order to Cepheid Inc. under Federal Supply Schedule contract GS07F0597T for GeneXpert closed-system Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) molecular analyzers and associated reagents. The 96th Medical Group at Eglin Air Force Base determined that Cepheid is the sole manufacturer capable of meeting its requirement for rapid molecular diagnostic testing to process approximately 12,000 annual tests for a beneficiary population of 123,000. The procurement includes leasing two GeneXpert analyzer systems (one XVI R2 with 16 modules and one IV R2 with 4 modules), supporting equipment, and specified reagent kits including 200 COVID-19/flu/RSV kits, 24 MRSA detection kits, 120 respiratory syncytial virus/metapneumovirus kits, and 180 streptococcal detection kits annually, along with technical support and maintenance services. The contract period extends from March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2031 on a Firm Fixed Price basis, with the specific award amount redacted in the justification document. Market research conducted between December 2025 and January 2026 confirmed Cepheid's monopoly position, and a presolicitation notice posted on January 30, 2026 yielded no competing sources, supporting the sole-source award determination.
