About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs is procuring a BD Accuri C6 Plus System Flow Cytometer through a brand name purchase specification for Dr. Saurabh Chatterjee's research laboratory at the University of California, Irvine. The solicitation requires a comprehensive flow cytometry system with specific technical requirements including blue and red lasers, two light scatter detectors, four fluorescence detectors with optical filters optimized for FITC, PE, PerCP-Cy5.5, and APC detection, along with 488 nm and 640 nm laser excitation optics. The procurement includes 15 line items encompassing the complete system, BD CSampler Plus software, three-year service contracts, cleaning solutions, computer bundles, and various accessories and consumables necessary for operation. The solicitation was issued on July 2, 2025, with offers due by 4:00 PM CDT on July 17, 2025, and a planned delivery date of July 25, 2025. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a size standard of 1,000 employees.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is unrestricted to all eligible contractors. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the solicitation documentation. While the total award value is not specified in the available documents, the procurement encompasses a substantial equipment package including the primary flow cytometer system, associated software, comprehensive service agreements, and supporting laboratory equipment. The contract will be administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs Financial Services Center, with electronic invoice submission required upon delivery and receipt of items. Performance will occur in Irvine, California, specifically at the University of California, Irvine research facility, with the Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Procurement Office West managing the acquisition process.

The BD Accuri™ C6 Plus flow cytometer is a compact, versatile, and highly portable system designed for ease of use. It features both blue and red lasers, along with two scatter detectors and four fluorescence detectors with interference filters optimized for FITC, PE, PerCP-Cy5.5, and APC detection. Its compact optical design, fixed alignment, and pre-optimized detector settings simplify operation. The low-pressure pumping system controls the fluidics, and the sheath-focused core enables event rates of up to 10,000 events per second, with sample concentrations exceeding 5 x 10^6 cells per mL. The BD CSampler™ Plus accessory further streamlines sample processing, making this instrument ideal for our experiments.
