4110--Patient Nourishment Refrigerators/Freezers 100% SDVOSB SET-ASIDE RFQ 36C24126Q0485 is Cancelled

The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a combined synopsis and solicitation for refrigerators and freezers under solicitation number 36C24126Q0485, set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The acquisition, identified by NAICS code 333415 and PSC 4110, seeks to procure four True Undercounter Refrigerators (TUC-27-HC), nine Everest ESRFH2 dual-temperature cabinets, five Everest ESWRF2 dual-temperature cabinets, and one freight shipping line item for delivery to the VA Boston Healthcare System in Brockton, Massachusetts. The requirement is structured as a Brand Name or Equal procurement, with the specified models serving as the baseline for compliance, and all products must meet strict technical and dimensional specifications outlined in the Statement of Work, including ADA-compatible height, stainless steel construction, forced-air cooling, microchip temperature monitoring, and warranty terms of at least three years for parts and labor and ten years for compressors. The Buy American Act applies, and all offerings must include product brochures to verify compliance with salient characteristics. All offers must be submitted by July 10, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST via email to the designated Contract Specialist, and must include full technical descriptions, pricing, warranty information, and completed representations and certifications via SAM.gov. Quoters must be verified SDVOSBs in SAM.gov and the SBA’s database, with a valid Unique Entity Identifier and EFT indicator, and must affirm full compliance with all solicitation terms, including the mandatory clauses from FAR and VAAR, such as 52.211-6 (Brand Name or Equal), 52.225-2 (Buy American Certificate), and 852.219-73 (SDVOSB Set-Aside Notice). Offers will be evaluated solely on technical capability and price, with technical compliance serving as a mandatory pass/fail gate—failure to meet any salient requirement disqualifies the quotation. Awards will be made to the lowest-priced, technically qualified SDVOSB capable of fulfilling all line item quantities. The award process follows simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 12, with no discussions anticipated, and the government retains the right to reject all offers. Any late submissions will not be considered unless the Contracting Officer determines acceptance would not unduly delay the acquisition. The procurement is currently
