Clement J. Zablocki VAMC Flow Cytometry Testing

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 is seeking to procure flow cytometry testing equipment and related sample preparation systems for the Clement J. Zablocki VAMC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is an amendment to solicitation 36C25226Q0102, which has extended the deadline for receipt of offers to December 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST. The government requires a stand-alone, automated or semi-automated sample preparation system capable of performing lymphocyte subset analysis, with vendors permitted to propose either a TQ Prep system configuration or a fully automated alternative such as CellMek that performs sample staining. The original specification for a Navios EX Flow Cytometry system has been clarified as a "Brand Name or Equal" requirement, enabling qualified vendors to submit equivalent products that meet the technical specifications. The solicitation also requests optional pricing for equipment mounting solutions such as a cart or wagon, and vendors should be prepared to address both sample preparation system configurations in their proposals.

This solicitation uses no set-aside designations and is open to all eligible vendors in the analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing sector. The government file does not identify any current contractors or incumbent vendors for this procurement. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the available documentation, nor are details provided regarding the quantity of units required or the anticipated contract timeline. The place of performance is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53295, and the procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6632 (Analysis Instruments, Medical Laboratory Use). With the expedited four-day submission window, interested contractors should immediately review the complete solicitation documents and prepare their technical and pricing proposals.
