AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its VISN 15 Network Contracting Office 15, is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying an Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer for the Marion VA Medical Center in Marion, Illinois. This notice is purely informational and not a solicitation, meaning no binding obligation is created by responses, nor is a contract guaranteed. Interested companies must submit detailed information including their point of contact, SAM.gov UEI number, small business or socioeconomic status, the country of origin of the equipment, and proof of authorization as a distributor of the manufacturer’s product, along with marketing literature demonstrating compliance with the salient technical requirements outlined in the Statement of Work. All submissions must be sent by the deadline to the designated email address, and the government will not reimburse any costs associated with responding. The response feedback will inform future acquisition decisions, including potential set-aside requirements such as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-aside, though a FULL and OPEN competition remains an option if responses are insufficient. The NAICS code for this requirement is 333415, and the office handling the procurement is located in Leavenworth, Kansas.
