6550--Roche Ventana IHC/SS Mt Home VAMC Blanket Purchase Agreement Sole Source Notice IAW FAR 12.102(b) Estimated Value
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source, 24-month Blanket Purchase Agreement to Roche Diagnostics Corporation for the rental of two IHC Stainers and one Special Stainer, along with all necessary reagents and services. The estimated value of this firm-fixed-price agreement is $880,000, with a performance period from June 1, 2026, to May 30, 2028. Services will be performed at the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center in Mountain Home, Tennessee. The requirement is justified as a sole source because the Roche system is the only one that meets the facility's specific workflow and space constraints. This opportunity is for a pre-determined vendor, not a competitive bid.
