Although the VA recognizes Roche Diagnostics as the only capable vendor, the agency is inviting interested vendors to submit capability statements by the response deadline to demonstrate whether they can provide the required capabilities and meet the Government's full requirement. The Government will use these submissions solely to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement, with final discretion resting with the agency. All inquiries and capability statements should be directed to Jonathan Kilgore, Contracting Officer, at jonathan.kilgore@va.gov.

These reagents and supplies are proprietary products manufactured exclusively by Roche Diagnostics. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing.
