The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Network Contracting Office 17 in San Antonio, Texas, is pursuing a sole-source service contract for the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 7 Pro Real-Time PCR Instrument located at the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System in Temple, Texas. This procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii) as a brand-name requirement, necessitating an OEM-authorized dealer or distributor, specifically Thermo Fisher Scientific, to provide full warranty, software licensing, preventive maintenance, calibration, repairs, and technical support. The contract includes one base year and three option years, with performance required exclusively at the Temple, Texas facility. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management and submit a capability statement demonstrating their technical proficiency and OEM authorization via email to Ivan T. Torres by the deadline of August 14, 2026. The response must include clear and convincing documentation of experience and compliance with OEM terms but must not exceed written format—no hard copies, videos, or physical media will be accepted. No pricing details are provided as this is a pre-award notice; cost information is expected to be submitted by offerors. The acquisition does not include competitive evaluation factors, adjectival ratings, or weights since it is a non-competitive action, and no formal contract clauses, inspection criteria, packaging standards, or accounting data are included in the notice. All detailed specifications, including inspection and acceptance procedures, packaging requirements, and full statement of work, are referenced as being in an attachment not available in this documentation.
