About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Network Contracting Office 17 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Hologic Sales and Service, LLC. The procurement involves cytology reagents and supplies specifically designed for use with Hologic ThinPrep 2000 and ThinPrep 5000 equipment currently operating at the VA North Texas Healthcare System's Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service in Dallas, Texas. The contract covers six line items including ThinPrep Pap Test kits, Cytolyt Solution bottles, specimen containers, non-gynecological filters, and Preservcyt vials across five ordering periods. The VA intends to use the statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) to justify this sole source procurement, which permits negotiation with a single source when no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the VA's intention to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other qualified vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested contractors must submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by email to the contracting officer by May 28, 2025, referencing notice ID 36C25725Q0587. The VA will evaluate any responses received within the seven business day window to determine if comparable sources exist that could be more advantageous to the government. All responsible sources are eligible to participate, but they must demonstrate compatibility with the specific Hologic equipment currently in use at the Dallas facility. If no affirmative responses are received by the deadline, the VA will proceed with awarding the contract to Hologic Sales and Service, LLC without further notice.
