6640--Copy of LAB FREEZZERe

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 is seeking to procure a laboratory freezer through a Request for Quote (RFQ) with solicitation number 36C24625Q0768. The procurement will target laboratory equipment specifically under Product Service Code 6640 and NAICS Code 333415 for commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment. The contract will be evaluated based on the lowest-priced vendor that meets or exceeds the government's technical requirements, with responses due on May 30, 2025 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Contract Specialist Kim Pauley will manage the solicitation and can be contacted at kim.Pauley@va.gov or 757-728-7189 for any inquiries. The contracting office is located at 100 Emancipation Drive in Hampton, Virginia 23667, and the full RFQ will be posted on the same day as the pre-solicitation notice.

The contract is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) participants, which limits competition to qualifying vendors. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement appears to be for a single laboratory freezer unit. The solicitation will remain open for 30 days after the response date, providing potential vendors sufficient time to prepare competitive proposals. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the pre-solicitation notice. Interested SDVOSB vendors should carefully review the technical specifications and prepare pricing that demonstrates both compliance with government requirements and competitive positioning. The procurement represents a targeted acquisition for specialized laboratory refrigeration equipment within the Veterans Health Administration's procurement framework.
