About this file

This is a Notice of Intent to Solicit Sole Source (NOITSS) and subsequent amendment regarding a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Borrelia MTTT Lyme Testing Reagents and Supplies. The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 1, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service requires FDA-approved, US-manufactured testing reagents and supplies compatible with the Dynex Agility Automated ELISA System at the VA Connecticut Medical Center. All items will be ordered on an as-needed basis. The original response due date was July 22nd at 3:00 PM (EST). The Period of Performance spans five years, with Year 1 commencing September 28, 2026 and concluding September 27, 2027, and subsequent years following the same annual cycle through September 27, 2031.

Amendment 0001 corrects the intended sole-source vendor from Zeus Scientific to its parent company, Sebia Inc., though Zeus Scientific remains identified as the only vendor capable of providing all required products while manufacturing in the United States. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 325413. Interested parties were instructed to submit detailed documentation to Sarah.Otis@va.gov to allow the government to conduct market research and determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement. This notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation will be posted to Contract Opportunities.

This Amendment to RFI 36C24126Q0634 serves to make the following correction:

The vendor to whom this procurement requirement is intended to be awarded on a sole-source basis is revised from Zeus Scientific to Sebia Inc. While no other aspects of this Notice of Intent to Sole Source have changed, the actual vendor is the parent company Sebia Inc. rather than its subsidiary Zeus Scientific. The items listed in the original NOITSS remain unchanged and Zeus Scientific remains the only vendor capable of providing all the required products and also manufactures in the United States.

This Amendment is NOT a request for competitive proposals. There is no Solicitation available at this time. Requests for a Solicitation will not receive a response. This Amendment serves only to make the above correction of information.
