Supply of i-Stat Cartridges (Consumables)

The contract governs the supply of FDA-approved, proprietary test cartridges designed specifically for use with Abbott i-Stat point-of-care analyzers, including models CG4+, Creatinine, CG8+, CHEM8+, ACTk, ACTc, and hs-Tnl. These consumables are essential for clinical diagnostics and must meet strict regulatory standards to ensure accurate and reliable results in healthcare settings. The agreement is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Veterans Affairs, managed by the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21, with performance expected to originate from San Francisco. The NAICS code 325413 indicates the scope falls under medical and surgical equipment and supplies manufacturing, underscoring the specialized nature of the products. The contract does not specify a solicitation number and lacks details on set-aside status or point of contact, but its posting date of May 20, 2026, suggests it is anticipated for future procurement activity. As a subcontract, it likely supports a larger procurement initiative within the VA system to maintain consistent access to high-quality diagnostic tools for veterans’ healthcare facilities. Compliance with FDA regulations and compatibility with Abbott i-Stat devices are mandatory, and the cartridges must be delivered in accordance with quality and supply chain requirements to ensure uninterrupted clinical operations. The absence of an office address or zip code implies the contractual obligations may be fulfilled through distribution channels rather than direct delivery to a physical location.
