The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to conduct a sole source procurement for fingerstick glucometers and related services from Roche Diagnostics Corporation. This procurement, referenced as RFQ 36C25925Q0138, is motivated by a need for continuity in transitioning medical equipment crucial for testing glucose levels for veteran patients. The agency will purchase glucometer supplies on a cost-per-vial basis, along with annual licenses for a Remote Automated Laboratory System (RALS) that integrates with VA's existing databases. The contract will encompass four option years starting from May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2027, and will cover multiple VA Health Care System facilities in Eastern Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, and Rocky Mountain. This approach minimizes disruptions that a switch to another supplier would cause, which would necessitate extensive retraining and integration efforts. The VA's goal is to ensure the procurement's alignment with their needs, as competition is being restricted due to the lack of alternative suppliers that meet the established requirements. Interested vendors have until January 3, 2025, to express their capability to fulfill these requirements, although the intent to not compete remains at the government's discretion.
