6640--copan wasp lab system (VA-25-00029956)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is soliciting quotes for a Copan WASP Lab System, which falls under the analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing category. This procurement represents an amendment that addresses offeror questions, publishes the brand name justification, and updates the solicitation schedule, though the quote submission deadline remains unchanged at September 11, 2025. The solicitation was posted on September 5, 2025, providing vendors with a compressed six-day window to prepare and submit their responses. The procurement involves specialized laboratory equipment and supplies, as indicated by the PSC code 6640, suggesting the VA requires sophisticated automated laboratory instrumentation. The amendment includes a brand name justification document, indicating this may be a sole-source or brand-specific procurement for Copan equipment.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it available to all qualified vendors in the marketplace. The contract will be performed in St. Louis, Missouri 63106, likely at a VA medical facility within the Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 region. No specific contract values, quantities, or incumbent contractor information is provided in the available solicitation details. The tight timeline between the posting date and submission deadline suggests this may be an urgent operational requirement or a time-sensitive replacement of existing laboratory equipment. The inclusion of a brand name justification document indicates the government has determined that only Copan WASP systems can meet their specific technical requirements, which may limit the competitive landscape for this procurement.
