ATR-FTIR Spectrophotometer Supply and Delivery

The contract entails the supply and delivery of a new ATR-FTIR spectrophotometer system to the VA Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, with a delivery deadline aligned to the response deadline of June 25, 2026. The equipment includes all necessary accessories, specialized software, and consumables required for full operational capability, ensuring the facility can immediately utilize the instrument for analytical testing and research purposes. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 334516, which categorizes it under analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, indicating the technical precision and regulatory compliance required for the system. The contracting office is the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 under the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the place of performance is clearly designated as Jackson, MS with a zip code of 39216. Although the solicitation number and point of contact details are not provided, the posting date of June 22, 2026, and the firm response deadline of June 25, 2026, indicate a very short bid window, suggesting urgency or a pre-vetted vendor pool. The absence of set-aside designation implies the contract is open to all eligible contractors without specific socioeconomic preferences, and the lack of office address details suggests procurement is handled centrally by the VA’s network office rather than locally.
