The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Roche Diagnostics Corporation for preventative maintenance and service warranty of the Roche cobas Liat instrument at the Fayetteville VAMC in North Carolina.

The requirement falls under NAICS code 334516 and PSC J066. While this is intended as a sole source procurement, any business capable of providing these services may submit written notice and supporting evidence of their capabilities to Cherisse Hall by 12:00pm EDT on August 18, 2026.

6640--Brand Name Only Purchase of Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5
Solicitation # 36C24626Q0805
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through VISN 6 Network Contracting Office 6, is conducting market research under a Sources Sought notice to determine commercial availability and contractor capabilities for the acquisition of two Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR Systems, along with annual preventative maintenance and quality assurance services, to replace existing 7500 Fast Dx instruments. This is not a solicitation and no binding contract will result from responses; the purpose is solely to assess market capacity, identify qualified sources—including small businesses registered in the SBA’s Dynamic Small Business Search—and inform future procurement decisions. The requirement is strict: only the original Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 system will be accepted, with no substitutions or equivalents permitted, due to the need for compatibility with existing validated workflows, reagents, software, and laboratory procedures. The contract includes trade-in of the current instrument, full installation, training, warranty, and compliance with all manufacturer specifications. Responses must detail the company’s SAM registration, SBA small business status, relevant certifications, and a capabilities statement confirming the ability to meet all technical and service requirements, including proper calibration, performance verification using RNase P plates, system diagnostics, computer maintenance, and timely submission of service documentation within one hour of completion. The NAICS code is 334516 with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and responses will inform potential set-asides under 38 U.S.C. 8127 and 8128 for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses and Veteran Owned Small Businesses if the rule of two is satisfied. All submissions must be emailed to Krisanne Dernago by August 12, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EST, and failure to register in SAM or the SBA DSBS database will disqualify consideration. The Government reserves the right to modify the Performance Work Statement and will only issue a formal solicitation if market research indicates sufficient competition and suitability.
