Written by GovTribe AI · Aug 28, 2026

This is a Standard Form 1449 Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Products and Commercial Services for a firm-fixed-price maintenance and licensing agreement for Stratasys 3D printers and associated software. The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6, on behalf of Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia, is soliciting quotes for a base year contract commencing September 15, 2027, with four optional one-year extension periods through September 19, 2030. The contract covers preventative and corrective maintenance for four Stratasys 3D printer models (J750, J5, Fortus 450mc, and F370) at either Diamond or Emerald care levels, along with annual software licensing and support for SolidWorks (Premium and Professional Network editions with cloud services), Design X, and Geomagic Freeform. Diamond-level maintenance includes phone support during business hours, on-site support within 2 business days, annual preventative maintenance kits, priority scheduling, operator training, parts replacement including print heads at a 16% discount after the first five units, and software updates. Emerald-level maintenance provides similar services with on-site support within 3 business days and excludes service consumables from parts replacement coverage.

Quotes are due by September 8, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT and must be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer, Audrey Wooten (audrey.wooten@va.gov), with the RFQ number in the subject line. Quoters must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at submission and maintain registration through contract performance and final payment. The solicitation is unrestricted (not set aside for small business), and the estimated total contract value across the base year and all options is $34 million. Invoices will be submitted electronically through VA's Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment System and paid via electronic funds transfer. Award will be made to the responsible quoter offering the most advantageous price and technical conformance to the solicitation requirements. The contract incorporates standard FAR clauses and VA-specific clauses addressing security prohibitions, personnel vetting and credentialing, contractor employee whistleblower rights, and trafficking in persons prohibitions. Contractor personnel requiring physical or logical access to VA facilities and systems must undergo background investigations commensurate with risk and sensitivity levels and obtain Personal Identification Verification (PIV) cards.
