About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command, through its Medical Readiness Contracting Office at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in Fort Sam Houston, Texas, is seeking an automated microbial identification and susceptibility testing system to support the facility's Department of Pathology and Area Laboratory Services. This is Amendment 0002 to Solicitation W81K00-26-Q-A085, which addresses offerors' questions regarding VITEK microbial detection and identification requirements and provides government clarifications on equipment specifications and operational parameters. The government has confirmed it currently owns a Vitek 2XL and Virtuo instrument and seeks an additional Vitek 2XL for redundancy purposes, along with a new Vitek MS Prime mass spectrometry instrument, both operating under cost-per-test agreements. Additionally, blood culture reagents must be compatible with the government-owned BioMerieux BacT/Alert Virtuo Microbial Detection System with specific collection capabilities for aerobic, anaerobic, and pediatric samples. The proposal submission deadline is Monday, April 20, 2026, at 1:00 PM CST, with all other solicitation terms and conditions remaining unchanged from the original solicitation issued on March 30, 2026.
This procurement is unclassified with no set-aside designations applied. The current incumbent appears to be BioMerieux, as the government has existing equipment from this vendor and indicates an intention to eventually replace both existing Vitek 2 instruments and the Virtuo blood culture system with new ones from the same manufacturer in a phased approach if BioMerieux is awarded the contract. The specific award value or budget range has not been disclosed in the amendment materials. The services are to be performed at BAMC in San Antonio, Texas (78234), with supplies not distributed through BAMC Logistics, as evidenced by the exclusion of blood culture bottles from the pending award. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing) and PSC Code 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies).
