H146--36C249-26-AP-1314 'Base + 2' Water Analysis Service Contract (Eng.) (VA-26-00033550)

The Department of Veterans Affairs canceled the solicitation 36C24926Q0183 for a base plus two option Water Analysis Service Contract intended for sole-source award to Phigenics, LLC to perform Legionella potable water testing at the Louisville, KY and Lexington, KY VA Medical Centers. Originally posted on SAM.gov on April 28, 2026, with a response deadline of April 30, 2026, the procurement was structured as a firm-fixed-price contract under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique capabilities of the contractor and the need for service continuity. The proposed period of performance was to begin May 4, 2026, with a base year and two one-year options, all focused on compliance with internal VA water safety policies without reference to external standards such as EPA or ASTM. Despite indications of intended award, no contract was executed as the action was formally cancelled prior to award, with no financial terms, pricing, or contract value disclosed due to the premature termination. The contracting office, located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, under the Network Contracting Office 9, designated Daphne Stewart as the sole point of contact with no COR, COTR, or other administrative personnel identified. The requirement did not involve physical deliverables, rendering packaging, marking, or FOB terms inapplicable, and submission of proposals was to be made electronically via email to the contracting officer. While the offeror was known to be Phigenics, LLC, no UEI, CAGE, size status, or socioeconomic certifications were provided in the documentation, and no evaluation factors were established because the solicitation was withdrawn before any offers were assessed. All future opportunities for this requirement will be posted via SAM.gov.
