**AMENDED **6640 - WSNC BioRad Laboratory Quality Control Products IDIQ

This contract is an amended indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) agreement for the procurement of Bio-Rad laboratory quality control products across multiple Department of Veterans Affairs facilities within the Western States Network Contract (WSNC) region. The solicitation, issued under number 36C26026R0030_0001 and effective June 4, 2026, with a response deadline of June 17, 2026, seeks vendors to supply commercial medical quality control items under a five-year base period extending to August 2031. The estimated contract value ranges from $100,000 to $9.5 million, with individual delivery orders subject to limits of $250,000 per single item, $500,000 per combination of items, and $500,000 per 30-day period from the same ordering office, while the contractor is not obligated to fulfill orders below $15,000. The pricing structure is defined in Attachment A, which has been amended to correct duplication errors and requires vendors to populate Unit Prices in Column O; however, actual pricing values are not provided in the solicitation. Delivery is to be made f.o.b. origin or destination as specified in each order, to any VA facility within the WSNC catchment area, with mandatory compliance with federal shipping standards, packaging, and labeling requirements under DOT/DOE regulations, and replacement of nonconforming items within two business days. Evaluation will prioritize relevant experience in supporting medical centers, geographic coverage, and inventory management capabilities, followed by past performance, with price considered significantly less important; award is expected without negotiation based on a trade-off approach, not lowest price technically acceptable. Contractors must submit proposals that include detailed descriptions of experience, up to five relevant past performance contracts, and the completed pricing schedule in Excel format, along with required SAM registrations, including a Unique Entity Identifier and socioeconomic certifications such as small business, SDVOSB, or HUBZone status. Key obligations include quarterly inventory reporting, immediate notification of recalls or backorders exceeding 60 days, no substitutions without written approval, and electronic invoicing under VAAR 852.232-72, though the exact payment platform (WAWF, IPP) is not specified. The Government retains inspection and acceptance authority, with final title transferring upon formal acceptance regardless of location. The contracting office
