Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office 17, has issued a Special Notice regarding its intent to modify an existing Firm Fixed-Price IDIQ contract (36C25726D0033) with Propath Services, LLC. This modification aims to increase the contract ceiling by $6,000,000.00 and add the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System to the scope of combined reference lab testing services. This action addresses an immediate need for testing and aims to consolidate requirements. While not a solicitation, other responsible sources may submit capability statements or proposals for consideration. Responses are due by June 12, 2026.
Scope of Change
The modification will expand the existing IDIQ contract for Reference Laboratory Testing (PSC Q301). Currently serving the VA North Texas Healthcare System (Dallas, TX), the contract will now also cover the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System (Temple, TX). The ceiling increase of $6,000,000.00 is intended to accommodate this expanded requirement, driven by a lack of testing availability under a national contract and an immediate need.
