The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 22, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 36C26226Q1011 to gather market research on the procurement of a Leica M320 APO microscope system for use at the VA San Diego Healthcare System. This is not a solicitation for award but a sources-sought notice intended to inform future acquisition planning, with responses due by June 26, 2026. The system must include a manual APOchromatic magnification changer, dual LED illumination with a 60,000-hour lifespan, an integrated 4K video camera, IR remote control, and all necessary hardware, cables, and software, along with on-site installation, calibration, and user training. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 334510 for Medical Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing, and responses must address compliance with the Buy American Act, Trade Agreements Act, and FDA clearance requirements. Offerors are required to provide their SAM.gov Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, identify their small business status, and disclose whether they qualify under the Non-Manufacturer Rule or hold an active Federal Supply Schedule contract. All responses must be submitted via email to Carlo.Manuel@va.gov and must clearly address 18 specific questions related to product specifications, manufacturing origin, subcontracting plans, and compliance with federal regulations. Domestic content must meet at least 55% by cost, and final assembly must occur in the United States. The system must be delivered to the VA San Diego Healthcare System warehouse at 3350 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, CA 92161, with inspection and acceptance handled by the government. No pricing information is solicited for evaluation purposes; it will only be collected for market research. The procurement does not include option periods, security clearance requirements, or key personnel specifications. While the document references regulatory compliance and product salient characteristics, it contains no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or invoicing instructions, and no contract value or award is anticipated from this RFI.
