Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to modify an existing blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with Sysmex America Inc. to include urinalysis testing on a cost per reportable results basis. The estimated value of the proposed action is $426,373.38, and the ordering period is from March 1, 2026, to September 30, 2026, with options to extend for three additional years. The requirement includes the purchase of chemical reagents, delivery, installation, and implementation of a leased UN-9000N-122 instrument with wagon and ST (sample feeder and collector), as well as other equipment. The goal is to integrate urinalysis testing into the existing hematology BPA, creating a more comprehensive and efficient laboratory operation.
• The equipment to be purchased includes five analytical modules, two Novus chemistry strip readers, two UF 5000 microscopic particle analyzers, and one UD-10 urine particle digital imaging analyzer.
• The ordering period will commence on March 1, 2026, and conclude on September 30, 2026, with options to extend for three additional years.
• The estimated value of the proposed action is $426,373.38.
• The contractor, Sysmex America Inc., has provided a 22.6% discount off its FSS pricing, resulting in a total savings of $124,664.74.
• The addition of urinalysis testing to the existing BPA is expected to create additional efficiency, reduce redundancies, and promote faster turnaround times.
