The Vitek 2 XL is a microbiology instrument used to perform diagnostic test of bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibilities for patient care. The Bacter/Alert 3D is a microbiology instrument used to test for patients blood stream infection. The requirement is being procured as a sole source because current instrumentation and reagents are of a proprietary nature and specifically tailored to the Dorn VA Lab. The Department of Veterans Affairs believes that awarding the proposed contract to another source would result in unacceptable delays, negatively impact patient care, as well as substantial additional costs to the government, as the new source gradually developed the skills needed to meet the Department of Veterans Affairs requirements.
