65--MagnaPure 96 VA261-16-AP-6783

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Veterans Health Administration and Network Contracting Office 21 within the Veterans Integrated Service Network 21, plans to award a firm-fixed price contract to Roche Diagnostics Corporation for the procurement of the MagNA Pure 96 system along with a one-year service agreement. This acquisition is expected to be executed as a sole source procurement under the authority that allows for contracting with only one responsible source when no other supplies or services can satisfy the agency’s requirement. The procurement is conducted via Open Market but does not constitute a solicitation for quotes or proposals. Any responses received will only be considered to verify whether alternate sources could potentially meet the need more advantageously. The contract is designated with solicitation number VA26116Q1226 and is associated with NAICS code 325413, indicating it relates to in vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing. The contracting office is located in Mather, California. Interested firms are informed that the point of contact for this notice lacks access to the "Interested Vendors List" on the public portal, so vendors must communicate directly via the provided email address to be considered. This streamlined approach ensures the agency fulfills its requirements efficiently while complying with federal procurement regulations for sole source acquisitions.
