Q301--Notice of Modification - Combined Reference Lab Testing

The contract modification pertains to IDIQ 36C25726D0033, titled "Notice of Modification - Combined Reference Lab Testing," issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 17, to increase the ceiling of the existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract by $6,000,000.00 under a firm-fixed-price arrangement with ProPath Services, LLC. This adjustment specifically enables the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System, located at 1901 Veterans Memorial Dr., Temple, TX 76504, to utilize combined reference laboratory testing services under the IDIQ, alongside the previously authorized VA North Texas Healthcare System in Dallas, TX. The modification is administratively focused and does not constitute a new solicitation or require competitive quotations, as explicitly noted in the documentation. The NAICS code 621511 applies to the services, and the Product Service Code is listed as Q301. The contracting officer, Delphia Schoenfeld, can be contacted at the Office in San Antonio, TX, and while the amendment clarifies the scope of line item usage for the Central Texas facility, no new delivery schedules, inspection protocols, packaging standards, or evaluation criteria are introduced. The Federal Acquisition Regulation clause FAR 52.212-4(d), Changes, governs the authority for this adjustment, and the modification action is formalized without requiring additional representations, certifications, or contract administration details beyond the ceiling increase and performance location clarification.
