AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 07 at the Ralph H Johnson VA Medical Center intends to award a sole source procurement to Lab Products, LLC for specialized rodent housing equipment essential to ongoing biomedical research. The requirement includes seven RAIR HD Super Mouse 750 Micro-Isolator Units, one RAIR HD Super Mouse 750 cage rack, one HEPA filtered air unit, and a comprehensive set of compatible peripherals including 126 Zyfone Super Mouse Micro-Isolator Systems with air grommets, along with matching water bottles, twist caps, and stainless steel cardholders. An additional 1003 Zyfone systems and corresponding consumables in full change-out quantities are required to maintain operational continuity across the facility. The procurement is justified on the basis that the RAIR HD systems and their proprietary airflow and manifold components are manufactured exclusively by Lab Products, LLC, and no alternative vendor can provide compatible cages, lids, filters, or blower modules that meet the facility’s validated environmental standards. Switching to a competing IVC system would necessitate extensive revalidation of conditions, staff retraining, and complete replacement of cage inventories, which would disrupt critical research and compromise data integrity. The NAICS code is 334516 with a small business size standard of 1000 employees. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, but an opportunity for other potential suppliers to demonstrate capability to meet the government’s specific needs. Responses must be submitted by August 12, 2026, to the designated point of contact, and failure to respond does not preclude the government from proceeding with the sole source award at its sole discretion.
