6640--NEW - Seahorse XF Pro Analyzer - Laboratory InstrumentationThe Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 17, intends to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price purchase order to Agilent Technologies, Inc. for the acquisition of one Agilent Seahorse XF Pro Analyzer, including associated software, consumables, and a five-year extended warranty, to support metabolic research at the VISN 17 Center of Excellence in Waco, Texas. The equipment is essential for real-time, simultaneous measurement of oxygen consumption rate and proton efflux rate in live cells, a capability uniquely provided by Agilent’s proprietary platform. The contract is being processed under FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the absence of commercially available alternatives, as no other vendor offers a functionally equivalent system with the required sensor technology, proprietary software integration, and exclusive service authorization. The acquisition is below the simplified acquisition threshold and is scheduled for immediate delivery as soon as possible. Agilent Technologies is the only source qualified to install, service, and train personnel on the system, with all components—including the Wave Pro Controller software, Seahorse Analytics platform, and compatibility with BioTek Cytation imaging systems—being proprietary and non-interchangeable. Market research confirmed no other manufacturer meets the technical specifications, and multiple federal agencies have previously recognized Agilent as the sole provider for similar instruments. While the notice invites potential offerors to submit capability statements by July 7, 2026, demonstrating full compliance with all technical requirements including 96-well microplate format, automated compound injection, and authorized service credentials, no competition is anticipated absent compelling evidence of equivalency. All responding sources must be active in SAM.gov, and failure to receive viable alternatives will result in award to Agilent Technologies, Inc.
