Contract 36C26326C0020 is a one-year firm-fixed-price agreement awarded to Cepheid for the maintenance and service of GeneXpert Lab Analyzers supporting VA Medical Centers and outpatient clinics within VISN 23. The contract, valued at $530,967.00, has a performance period from February 28, 2026, to February 27, 2027. The scope of work includes hardware maintenance, firmware updates, software support, system upgrades, calibration, and both on-site and remote troubleshooting. The award was made on a sole-source basis under FAR 13.5, as Cepheid is the only responsible source capable of providing these services due to the proprietary nature of the GeneXpert platform's closed-system design and intellectual property. Consequently, all services must be performed exclusively by Cepheid or its authorized personnel, and no competitive evaluation was conducted. The contract is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 23, with the government retaining responsibility for inspection and acceptance of services at the destination facilities.
