AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 22 in Long Beach, California, has issued a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 36C26226Q0853 to gather market research for the procurement of two ultra-low (-80°C) electric freezers for the VA Cooperative Studies Program Clinical Research Pharmacy Coordinating Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The RFI seeks information from potential vendors regarding their ability to supply, install, validate, and provide five years of ongoing maintenance for brand-name or equal ultra-low freezers, specifically equivalent to the ThermoScientific TSX70086FA model, each with a 33.5 cubic foot capacity, 700-cryobox storage, 208-230V/60Hz electrical requirements, NEMA 6-15 plug, and featuring five shelves, touch-screen controls with event logging and USB data download capability, padlock-compatible doors, and an LN2 backup system. The freezers must be delivered within 180 days of contract award to the specified Albuquerque location, followed by on-site installation coordinated with the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The RFI also requires vendors to provide comprehensive Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualifications for both the new units and two existing refrigeration units, along with hard-copy certifications and temperature mapping documentation, and a five-year preventative maintenance and warranty package to be submitted within 30 days post-installation. All responding entities must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with an active Unique Entity ID and must submit complete Representations and Certifications, including their small business status under NAICS code 339112, whether they are the manufacturer of the freezer product, and if not, the identity of the manufacturer, the product’s country of origin, and whether the manufacturer qualifies as a small business. The freezers are to be supplied as two units with corresponding delivery, installation, and qualification services bundled into four separate line items, though no pricing details are provided as this is strictly a market research tool and not a formal solicitation for bids. The response deadline is May 29, 2026, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time. Interested parties are directed to submit information via the SAM.gov portal and must adhere to submission instructions that require a transmittal letter to be emailed to the Contracting Officer without attached deliverables.
