Q301--Reference Laboratory and Esoteric Testing

The solicitation 36C24226R0062 for Reference Laboratory and Esoteric Testing Services under an Indefinite Delivery Requirements Contract (IDC) has been cancelled. It was intended to support the Veterans Health Administration’s VISN 2 region, covering VA medical centers in Downstate New York and New Jersey, with services to be performed primarily at the East Orange VAMC in New Jersey. The procurement was classified under NAICS code 621511 for Medical Laboratories and PSC Q301 for Medical-Laboratory Testing, and required all offerors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity ID. While the solicitation was unrestricted and open to all responsible sources, veteran-owned small businesses seeking to compete under socioeconomic set-asides were required to be certified in the SBA VetCert database. No evaluation factors, pricing data, or contract value estimates were available due to the cancellation and the presolicitation nature of the notice. The contracting office, located in Albany, New York, served as the administrative point of contact with Mariangie Rivera listed as the primary Contract Specialist, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative, Technical Representative, or Procurement Contracting Officer was formally designated. No packaging, marking, bar-coding, or MIL-STD requirements were specified, nor were any inspection criteria, acceptance procedures, or invoicing methods detailed in the documentation. The solicitation did not include any special contract requirements such as security clearances, key personnel clauses, or options, and no attachments, clauses beyond FAR 52.204-7, or Section M evaluation guidelines were provided. Despite the anticipated issue date of April 6, 2026, and response deadline of April 24, 2026, the cancellation rendered the procurement inactive, leaving all further details unresolved.
