BPA - VIDAS Kube Systems

The Food and Drug Administration is forecasting a Blanket Purchase Agreement for VIDAS Kube Systems to replacement outdated VIDAS instruments across all seven microbiology laboratories. The existing systems are being phased out due to vendor discontinuation of service and manufacturing, making immediate replacement critical to maintaining pathogen screening operations. The agreement includes an initial base order plus four optional years, ensuring long-term support and supply continuity. These instruments are essential for daily diagnostic testing, and their uninterrupted functionality is vital to the laboratories’ mission. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516, indicating it is for laboratory equipment manufacturing. The point of contact for program inquiries is the Hfp Acquisition Liaison via hfpacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov, while the contracting officer position is currently undetermined. The opportunity is posted on the HHS OSDBU portal and no specific place of performance or set-aside designation has been identified yet. The forecast serves as advance notice to potential vendors preparing to respond once the formal solicitation is issued.
