This Statement of Work (SOW) details the Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System's requirement for ten new laboratory microscopes for the Tulsa VA Medical Center. The microscopes are specifically for clinical diagnostic use in Hematology, Blood Bank, Microbiology, and Histology departments, with a focus on high-precision optical analysis of patient tissue and fluid samples. The procurement calls for Olympus America Inc. BX43 microscopes (or equivalent) with various configurations, including different lens sets, observation tubes, and specialized features like polarizers.

Delivery is scheduled between September 1 and November 30, 2025, to the Jack C Montgomery VA Medical Center in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The contractor must provide digital user and repair manuals, coordinate delivery with the local Point of Contact (POC), and be responsible for replacing any malfunctioning equipment at no additional cost within the first 12 months. The SOW emphasizes ergonomic design to reduce repetitive use injuries for pathologists and includes detailed specifications for each microscope configuration, with quantities ranging from 1-5 units per specific setup.
