1.1 The Department of Veterans Affairs, Southeastern (VISN7) intends to establish a 5-Year IDIQ for “Cost Per Reportable Test” medical laboratory testing, analysis, and diagnostic evaluation services with a 5-year term with 1-year pricing periods. Each pricing period will be issued on a Task Order by the Contracting or Administrating Contracting Officer. This IDIQ Contract aims to standardize and consolidate the referral laboratory services for all medical centers in the VISN7 catchment area and to increase the VA’s flexibility in providing Laboratory services to Veterans while decreasing the associated costs. Additionally, the purpose of this contract is to establish a Referral Laboratory source to coordinate, manage, and facilitate all non-VA performed required testing and analysis and, when necessary (due to an emergency as determined by the individual facility), to provide VA performed testing, analysis, and other services normally provided within a VA facility. 1.2 This IDIQ will increase the VISN’s ability to support veterans’ care by providing access to tests/services unavailable to the VA Medical Centers. There are various tests that are not accessible to VAMC due to the cost of reagents or equipment, the esoteric technology or method, specialized practices, or the development of emerging tests. The intent is to award this IDIQ to a Single Primary contractor to ensure continuous availability of required Laboratory services. 1.3 This IDIQ does not supersede higher-level contracts and/or National Contracts, active contracts, or contracts outside of VISN7.
