About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is seeking information on vendors capable of providing high-input, automated Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA) testing services for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System and Philadelphia VA Medical Center. The required immunoassay tests include screening for CMV, Lyme disease, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and VZV, with all work to be performed at two specific locations: VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System University Drive Campus in Pittsburgh, PA and Corporal Michael J Crescenz VA Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA. This is a Sources Sought notice and market research effort rather than a formal solicitation, meaning the government is not currently accepting bids or proposals but is evaluating vendor capabilities and market availability. Interested vendors must submit responses by February 11, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time via email to Contracting Officer Keri Hester (keri.hester1@va.gov), including company information, DUNS number, CAGE code, Tax ID, capability statements, and relevant product literature. All respondents must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and indicate their socio-economic status, including whether they qualify as small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), HUBZone certified, woman-owned, or large businesses.
No set-asides have been designated for this procurement; however, the VA reserves the right to restrict competition to veteran-owned small businesses under 38 U.S.C. 8127(d) if two or more qualified VOSB vendors are available at fair and reasonable prices. The notice does not identify any current incumbent contractors or provide specific award values or budget ranges for this requirement. No information regarding contract timeline, quantity specifications, or service duration is disclosed in this market research notice. Vendors interested in potential future competition are encouraged to register with the VetBiz Registry if they are veteran-owned businesses seeking verification for future procurement preferences. This initial market research phase will inform the government's approach to subsequent formal solicitation efforts.
