VISN-4 Lab CPRR Urinalysis Testing

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is seeking to establish a single-award, firm-fixed price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Laboratory Cost Per Reportable Result (CPRR) Urinalysis Instrumentation. The procurement aims to acquire automated urinalysis analyzers for VA medical centers and clinics, with specific technical requirements including random access capability, bi-directional barcoded computer interface, and compatibility with VA laboratory information systems. Interested vendors must submit responses by 12:00 PM EST on April 24, 2025, providing company details, SAM UEI number, capabilities, and socioeconomic status. The contract will be awarded under the Federal Supply Schedule, with vendors expected to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities for performing urine macroscopic and microscopic testing. Evaluation will likely focus on technical specifications, performance standards, and the ability to provide continuous reagent supply, training, and maintenance.

The procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation and will be open to all qualified vendors. The BPA will have a base year with four one-year option periods, running from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026. While specific award value is not disclosed, pricing will be based on average daily test volumes, suggesting a potentially significant contract for the selected vendor. The NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) indicates the specific industry category for this procurement. The contract requires providers to offer both primary and backup analyzers, emphasizing the critical nature of continuous laboratory testing capabilities for VA medical facilities. Vendors will need to demonstrate robust performance, minimal maintenance requirements, and seamless integration with existing VA laboratory information systems.
