This procurement is for an automated blood bank analyzer under a cost-per-test agreement for the South Texas Veterans Health Care System (STVHCS) at the Audie L. Murphy Division in San Antonio, Texas. The requirement is categorized under NAICS 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC 6640 LABORATORY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES.
The scope of the agreement covers the Ortho Vision Analyzer and its associated software, including Ortho Connect Lab Management Software and Windows 10 operating systems.

Additionally, the vendor will provide a recurring supply of laboratory kits, including Resolve A and B, Surgiscreen, Affirmagen, and Alba Q Check Controls, with a shipping schedule extending through May 2026.
