This is a $79,983.90 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (VISN 20), a regional network of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), to Franklin Young International, Incorporated, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). The contract is for the delivery of a compound inverted microscope, a critical piece of laboratory equipment used in clinical diagnostics, bioresearch, and other scientific applications. Franklin Young International has an extensive history of providing a wide range of laboratory equipment, supplies, and services to various federal agencies, including the VA, through prime contracts and subcontracts. The award is a sole-source set-aside for SDVOSBs, indicating the VA's commitment to supporting veteran-owned small businesses. This contract award is part of Franklin Young International's larger federal contract vehicles, such as a $6.7 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the VA-VHA and a $392,899 Blanket Purchase Agreement under the Multiple Award Schedule contract, which enable the agency and its regional networks to efficiently procure recurring laboratory materials and supplies.
