GENEXPERT IV-4 SITE SYSTEM, XPRESS

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is pursuing a sole source procurement through RFO 12.102(a) to award Cepheid a contract for the supply of GeneXpert IV-4 Xpress Site Systems and compatible Black and White Printers to support operations at the Dayton VA Medical Center in Ohio. This acquisition is designated as non-competitive, meaning the government will negotiate directly with Cepheid without soliciting bids from other vendors, based on the determination that only one source can meet the specific requirements. The contract is under NAICS code 334510 and carries the solicitation number 36C25026Q0728, with a response deadline of July 22, 2026. The supplies are intended for clinical use at the Dayton location, and no set-aside provisions apply. Interested parties may submit information demonstrating that competitive sourcing could benefit future procurements, though responses are not mandatory and do not obligate the government to reconsider the sole source decision. All inquiries must be directed to Contract Specialist Benjamin Reza at the provided email or phone number, with Grover Easterling listed as a secondary point of contact. The contract office is part of the 250-NETWORK Contract Office 10, and the place of performance is confirmed as Dayton, Ohio, with the procurement managed under federal acquisition regulations governing sole source justifications.
