AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 22 in Long Beach, California, issued a sources-sought announcement for preventive maintenance services on a BD FACSJazz Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter located at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System in Los Angeles, California. This procurement, identified by solicitation number 36C26226Q0712 and service code J065, is not a formal solicitation but a market research tool designed to gather information from potential contractors, with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM PDT. The requirement for the contractor to be an authorized BD Biosciences service provider has been removed by amendment, broadening the pool of eligible responders. Offerors are required to demonstrate their capability to perform preventive maintenance including calibration, alignment, lubrication, and part replacement in accordance with BD Biosciences’ technical specifications, and must provide a minimum of eight hours of combined labor and travel per service visit. Labor rates are specified at $620 per hour for standard service, $930 per hour for overtime, and a flat fee of $3,000 for a two-business-day premium response. Contractors must supply all necessary parts for repairs and return all defective components to BD Biosciences, with full access guaranteed to the instrument during service events. Proposals must be submitted via email to the designated Contract Specialist Intern, Ositadima Ndubizu, and must reference the solicitation number and acknowledge receipt of the amendment. While no formal contract type, evaluation factors, or award criteria are specified due to the nature of the announcement as a sources-sought notice, the government will use the responses to inform future procurement decisions. No pricing, contract value, or period of performance has been established as this document does not constitute a binding solicitation or award. The solicitation requires respondents to provide their Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and socioeconomic status, including whether they qualify as small business, SDVOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, or WOSB, though no certifications are yet completed. The contracting office address is listed as 4811 Airport Plaza Drive, Suite 600, Long Beach, CA 90815, with no designated payment office, invoicing method, or contracting officer information provided in the materials.
