About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Oklahoma City VA Health Care System published a Special Notice regarding their intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Allentown, Inc. for additional NexGen IVC Caging Systems and Biosafety Cabinets. These items are needed to support ongoing research projects due to expansion of the animal facility and continued modernization efforts.
The Special Notice provides details on the requirement, including that the Allentown NexGen system is compatible with the proprietary caging and watering equipment currently installed. While the VA intends to negotiate sole source with Allentown as the manufacturer and distributor, the notice invites any responsible OEM, authorized dealer, distributor, or reseller to submit a capability statement by September 15th demonstrating their equivalent product meets the criteria. Interested parties should send statements to the point of contact listed to be considered for a potential competitive procurement, though the VA retains discretion on determining whether to compete the requirement based on responses received.
