AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to procure two BACT/ALERT VIRTUO automated blood culture detection systems for use in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory at the Veterans Affairs Caribbean Healthcare System in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The acquisition includes not only the core analyzers but also one MAESTRIA middleware system, associated computer hardware, printer, uninterruptible power supply with built-in line conditioner, cabinetry, universal interface equipment, initial reagents for validation, and full-service support for the first year post-installation. Installation, training, and validation services are required at the facility, with full-service support available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and preventive maintenance scheduled Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time. The equipment must be delivered by September 15, 2026, with performance occurring at the VACHS facility located at 10 Casia Street, San Juan, PR, 00921-3201. The procurement is being conducted on a sole-source basis because Isla Lab is the only authorized distributor for Biomerieux, the manufacturer of the systems, in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Market research confirmed Biomerieux’s exclusive distribution agreement, leading to a determination that the VA Rule of Two was not met, and no other vendors can satisfy the requirement. The acquisition is justified under FAR 6.103-1, with a certification confirming the accuracy and completeness of the sole-source rationale. This is a pre-solicitation notice posted on July 9, 2026, with a response deadline of July 10, 2026, and no formal quotes are being requested at this time. The contracting activity is the Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 08, NCO-8, with Wilson Perez as the Contract Specialist, and the NAICS code is 334516 under Product Service Code 6640.

Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 08, NCO-8, San Juan Services & Commodities Team, 2237 no. 672-26-1-103-0033.
Brief Description of Supplies required, intended use, and estimated amount: The Government is in need to acquire two (2) BACT/ALERT VIRTUO automated blood culture detection system, for use in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory at the Veterans Affairs Caribbean Healthcare System main facility in San Juan, PR. The system will be used for continuous monitoring and detection of microbial growth in blood and sterile body fluid cultures, and shall include all associated software, hardware, middleware connectivity, uninterrupted power supply (UPS), and printer.
Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Isla Lab is the authorized distributor for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, for Biomerieux, the manufacturer of the systems being procured. Therefore, it is in the Government's best interest to procure these items through such vendor.
Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: The results of the SBS query were 10 Small Businesses, two (2) of them being SDVOSBs. The GSA Advantage query did not yield any results. The results of the Add Up contract database query were numerous contracts awarded to Biomerieux, the manufacturer of the systems being procured. Biomerieux confirmed that Isla Lab is the sole distributor for their systems in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. As a result, the VA Rule of Two was not found to be met, and the recommendation is to procure these items through the Biomerieux authorized distributor in the Commonwealth of PR, which is Isla Lab.. This letter was uploaded into the AP briefcase, in eCMS. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1. I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
