Solicitation for subscription to software for pathology laboratory medicine services.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 20, is soliciting a five-year firm-fixed price purchase order for a subscription to the EP Evaluator software platform. This service supports the Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service at the Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla, Washington. The software is essential for analytical verification, method validation, and various statistical analyses, including precision, linearity, and interference studies. The subscription must ensure compliance with regulatory and accrediting standards such as CLIA, CAP, CLSI, VHA, and The Joint Commission, providing inspection-ready reports for laboratory director approval. The contract structure consists of a twelve-month base period starting January 22, 2027, with four optional twelve-month extensions, potentially extending the performance period to January 21, 2032. Services, including licensing, maintenance, and technical support, are to be performed remotely. Award will be granted to the responsible offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the government, based on a combination of technical compliance with the statement of work and total price for the base and all option years. This is an unrestricted open market solicitation under NAICS code 513210, with a response deadline of November 13, 2026.
