The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 17, plans to award a firm fixed price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to POLYMEDCO CANCER DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCTS LLC for a period of 12 months with three additional 12-month options. This contract involves the rental of two OC Auto Sensor io Analyzers along with all associated reagents, consumables, services, and scheduled maintenance on a cost-per-test basis to support the Amarillo and Lubbock Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service over a 48-month period. The contractor is also required to provide one-day on-site training as part of this agreement. Pricing details are to be determined but will be based on existing Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract prices. The decision for a sole source procurement is justified by the specific capabilities of POLYMEDCO’s product, which aligns with the needs of the VA laboratories in Amarillo, TX and Lubbock, TX, particularly as current testing performance metrics do not meet national standards. The contract is justified under statutory authority that allows limiting competition when only one source is available, following market research that found no other vendor capable of meeting the requirements. The iFOBT technology provided by the contractor is recognized as more sensitive and specific for colorectal cancer screening compared to alternative methods. The notice does not request quotations or proposals but allows interested responsible sources to submit capability statements or offers within five days for consideration. If no competitive responses are received, the BPA will be awarded directly to POLYMEDCO without further notice. The Point of Contact for this acquisition is the Contract Specialist Janice Malbon at the Network Contracting Office 17 in San Antonio, TX.

The contractor shall provide rental of two (2) OC Auto Sensor io Analyzers and all reagents/consumables/service and scheduled maintenance on a cost-per-test (CPT) basis for Amarillo and Lubbock Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service for 48 months. The contractor shall provide one-day training on-site. Items included in this notice are in *Attachment 1 (all pricing TBD). The proposed sole source procurement will be made by a pricing agreement with POLYMEDCO CANCER DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCTS LLC, based upon pricing from their VA NAC FSS contract. The requesting activity states that currently, the laboratories of both Amarillo VAHCS and Lubbock CBOC have SAIL numbers that are not up to par as they should be according to National data. Therefore, PolyMedco OC Auto Sensor io Analyzer and all testing supplies/service and maintenance will require a new contract for the Amarillo P&LMS laboratories in Amarillo, TX, and in Lubbock, TX. This methodology has been utilized throughout VISN17 with little to no complaints, using VA FSS contract 36F79720D0016. According to the National Cancer Institute, iFOBT is more sensitive and specific for colorectal cancer screening than the alternative method of guaiac occult blood testing. The sole source justification request submitted by the requesting activity states that a sole source is required for this base plus three (3) options. Market research was conducted, and no other vendor was found to be capable of providing this requirement. This notice is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. A contract will not be awarded based on an offer received in response to this Notice; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement (with their SAM UID), proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Proposals or offers received will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received within five (5) days from the publication of this Notice, a BPA will be issued to POLYMEDCO CANCER DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCTS LLC without any further notice. The anticipated statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition requirement is 41 USC 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 8.405-6, Limiting Sources. Notice: Interested firms must respond directly to the POC email address listed in this Notice for consideration. *See Attachment 1
