Opportunity Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 6, issued this special notice of intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price, cost-per-test Blanket Purchase Agreement to Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. The requirement, identified under solicitation 36C24623Q0003, is for commercial-off-the-shelf blood bank analyzers, reagents, and consumables to support the Durham VAMC. These fully automated transfusion service analyzers perform Type and Screen, Antibody Identification, Immediate Spin Crossmatch, Extended Crossmatch, and Unit Confirmation using GEL technology to optimize laboratory efficiencies. The procurement is classified under NAICS 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC 6640 LABORATORY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES.

The proposed agreement consists of a one-year base period and four one-year option years, with a total estimated value of $946,744.10. The government’s rationale for the sole-source award is based on the Durham VAMC’s current ownership of two MTS Gel systems that require compatible reagents and consumables produced only by Ortho Clinical Diagnostics. Market research indicated the vendor holds a strategically sourced Federal Supply Schedule contract for clinical laboratory analyzers valid through July 14, 2026.

Published on July 8, 2022, the notice included one attachment titled 36C24623Q0003.docx. Although this is not a request for quotes or proposals, the agency will consider responses that provide clear evidence that competition would be advantageous and would not hinder mission objectives. Isaac Hernandez is the designated contracting specialist for this action.
