VISN 22 Mail-In Semen Analysis Kits and Laboratory Testing

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ VISN 22 is seeking mail-in semen and post-vasectomy testing kits with end-to-end laboratory services. - Government buyer: Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 22, Network Contracting Office 22. - Products and quantities: 1,104 Full Semen Analysis (FSA) kits and 636 Post-Vasectomy Semen Analysis (PVSA) kits; no part numbers or manufacturers are identified. Quantities are estimated annual tests resulted and exclude repeat attempts. - Services: Provide patient instructions and logistics, prepaid specimen shipping, specimen handling and testing at CLIA-certified laboratories, secure results, clinical and technical consultation, and replacement kits as needed. Final results and consultations are due within 24 hours after testing is completed. PVSA repeat testing, kits, shipping, processing, and reporting must be provided at no additional cost until successful vasectomy confirmation. - Notable requirements: Small-business set-aside. Attachment C describes laboratory quality oversight, including licensing and accreditation, specimen safety and timely delivery, turnaround times, and quality acceptance levels of 90%–100%; however, it identifies VISN 1 rather than VISN 22, so its applicability is unclear. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, manufacturers, or vendors are named in the procurement materials.
