About this file
This is a Sources Sought Notice issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center (OBVAMC) in Shreveport, Louisiana, seeking to identify potential vendors capable of providing a Pipette Calibration Instrument. The notice is not a formal solicitation but rather a market survey to determine the availability and capabilities of qualified sources in the analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing sector (NAICS 334516, with a 1000-employee size standard). The contracting officer is Veronica Maskell, and responses must be submitted via email to veronica.maskell@va.gov by April 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time. All interested vendors should include "Pipette Calibration Instrument" in the email subject line.
Interested vendors must provide a statement of capability (five pages or less) demonstrating their experience providing pipette calibration instruments to the VA, other federal or state agencies, or private medical facilities, along with an authorized letter to perform the services. Vendors must also disclose their business size and socioeconomic status, including certifications such as Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), 8(a) small disadvantaged business, HubZone, or woman-owned small business status. Vendors should provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number and confirm registration with the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and, if applicable, the SBA's Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) system. The Government emphasizes that responses to this sources sought notice are not offers and cannot form binding contracts; if a formal solicitation is issued, vendors must respond separately to that announcement.
