AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 6, is conducting market research in preparation for a solicitation anticipated in mid-2018 for a Coagulation Cost-per-Reportable Test Blanket Purchase Agreement. This procurement will cover all medical centers within VISN 6 as well as several VA Health Care Centers. The equipment sought must be capable of performing a range of coagulation tests including PT/INR, APTT, Fibrinogen, D-Dimer, Anti-Xa (for low molecular weight heparin), and UFH testing, the latter specifically required when setting up new analyzers. To facilitate vendor engagement and education, a Vendor Day is scheduled for December 6, 2017, at the Salem VA Medical Center in Salem, Virginia. Vendors will have the opportunity to demonstrate their equipment to laboratory personnel from each facility, with four-hour presentation slots available on a first-come-first-served basis. A second day may be added depending on vendor interest. Participation in this Vendor Day is at the vendor's own risk and expense, with no reimbursement for preparation or travel costs, and the Department of Veterans Affairs disclaims any liability from such involvement. This event and its associated special notice are strictly for market research and information gathering purposes only and do not constitute a solicitation or a binding contract. Vendors interested in presenting must respond by November 20, 2017, to secure a presentation slot. Any proprietary information submitted will be kept confidential in accordance with regulations, but responses cannot be accepted as offers. This process aims to assist the VA in better understanding available coagulation instruments and technologies for an efficient future procurement.
