About this file

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) amendment for a Department of Veterans Affairs solicitation (36C26125Q0461) for a histopathology staining system. The solicitation covers Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), In-Situ Hybridization (ISH), and Special Staining System, with a Cost per Test (CPT) pricing model. The Q&A clarifies two key points: the total volume of H&E slides is estimated between 27,000 to 32,000, and the requirement for an in-line coverslipping instrument has been modified, with the agency now accepting instruments without this specific feature. The Q&A period has closed, and no further questions will be accepted. The solicitation is issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 21, located at the Southern Nevada Healthcare System in North Las Vegas, with a response date of 06-04-2025 and an effective date of 06-16-2025.
