View moreThe Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 20, issued this special notice for an emergency procurement of Nanosphere Verigene blood culture test kits and consumables for the Portland VA Medical Center. Classified under NAICS 325413 In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing and PSC 65, the acquisition is valued at an estimated $54,666.00. The justification for the single-source award to Luminex, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b), cites a compelling and urgent requirement to maintain continuity of laboratory services following the expiration of an existing contract on January 7, 2019.
The procurement ensures the Portland Laboratory remains operational and avoids risks to patient care and staff safety associated with delayed or erroneous test results. Market research indicated that soliciting and awarding to an alternative vendor would require a technical evaluation and the replacement of existing equipment that utilizes these proprietary consumables. The notice includes two attachments: a Word document and a PDF file containing the justification and approval documentation. Michael Gamby is the designated point of contact for this action, which was published on December 28, 2018.
