The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 is conducting market research for the procurement of 21 benchtop centrifuges for Primary Care Community Clinics at the George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the Veterans Affairs Southern Louisiana Community Health Care System. The centrifuges must meet specific technical requirements including an 8-tube capacity for 1.5 to 10 ML tubes, maximum relative centrifugal force of 4,000 x G, maximum speed of 5,100 RPM, and no refrigeration requirement. This Sources Sought Notice is seeking qualified vendors to provide information about their capability to supply these horizontal centrifuges under what is anticipated to be a Firm-Fixed Price commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12.6. Vendors must demonstrate their ability to furnish products manufactured in the United States and comply with Buy American requirements. The response deadline is July 20, 2025, at 8:00 AM Mountain Time, with submissions to be sent via email to Contract Specialist Kenneth Finchum.

This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, though the VA is emphasizing small business participation, particularly from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. The contract opportunity does not specify award values or budget ranges for the 21 centrifuges being procured. Interested vendors must provide detailed business information including UEI, contact details, business size classification, manufacturing capabilities, and compliance with subcontracting limitations. The solicitation number is 36C25925Q0613, and this market research effort is not a formal solicitation but rather a preliminary step in the procurement process. Vendors are required to identify brand names, manufacturers, and countries of origin for each line item they propose to supply.
