About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (VA Puget Sound Health Care System) anticipates issuing a solicitation for a histology staining workflow system and immunohistochemistry reagents on a cost-per-reportable-result basis, with an RFI response deadline of November 13, 2026.
The system comprises two IHC stainers, two ISH immunostainers, two special stainers, and an integrated specimen tracking system. All components must communicate cohesively to track workflow, enable automated slide tracking and labeling, and provide audit capabilities to identify process improvements and reduce errors. The tracking system must support chain of custody documentation and monitor productivity.
The workflow solution must demonstrate compatibility with VA VISTA and/or Cerner electronic health record systems, accommodate future EHR systems the VA acquires, and integrate with Data Innovations middleware. Stainers must be fully automated.
Work is performed at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in the Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service. The solicitation includes a comprehensive reagent price list organized by category: discovery ancillaries, detection reagents, antibodies, companion diagnostics, preparation and detection kits, bulk solutions, ISH probes, special stains, and consumable supplies such as barcode labels and thermal transfer printer materials. The reagent portfolio encompasses chromogenic and fluorescent detection systems, primary and secondary antibodies for pathology applications, and ISH probes for HPV and other targets.
NAICS 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing); PSC 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies). No set-aside is anticipated.
