About this opportunity
The Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP), under the Defense Health Agency, is seeking two automated immunohematology blood-grouping analyzers along with associated reagents, quality control materials, maintenance services, and consumables to support the Transfusion Services Division. The analyzers must perform critical testing functions including ABO/Rh typing, antibody screening, and crossmatching, with a minimum daily throughput of 140 tests and compliance with FDA, AABB, and CAP regulatory standards. This solicitation will be awarded as a firm fixed-price contract through GSA eBuy under RFQ1787669, with evaluation based on technical capability (most important factor), past performance, and price using a best value tradeoff methodology. Quotations are due Wednesday, December 10, 2025 at 10:00 A.M. ET, submitted exclusively through GSA eBuy, with a maximum three-page technical response required. All questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by December 2, 2025 at 10:00 A.M. ET, and offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be considered for award.
There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. The contract covers a one-year base performance period from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with no option periods, though the government anticipates a potential five-year follow-on effort in a separate requirement. The estimated annual testing volume includes 26,400 ABO/Rh typings, 2,400 antibody identifications, 3,600 crossmatches, and other specified test types, providing quantifiable performance metrics for the contract period. Specific technical requirements mandate gel technology analyzers, 60-day minimum reagent shelf-life, 30-minute maximum test cycle time, operation between 15-30 degrees Celsius, and 24/7 telephonic support with on-site maintenance within 24 hours of trouble calls. Performance of work will take place in Portsmouth, Virginia 23708, with the solicitation classified under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code 6515 (Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies).

The Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) requires two automated immunohematology analyzers, along with associated reagents, quality control materials, maintenance services, and consumables, to support the Transfusion Services Division of the Laboratory Department. This division is integral to both routine and emergent patient care across Hampton Roads and its supported commands. Transfusion Services is responsible for the testing, preparation, and distribution of blood products for surgical, trauma, and hematologic patients. It ensures safe and timely transfusion support through immunohematology testing, compatibility verification, and inventory management of blood components. The division also supports massive transfusions and contingency operations by maintaining validated procedures and reliable instrumentation.
The requested immunohematology analyzers perform critical testing functions, including ABO/Rh typing, antibody screening, and crossmatching. These systems are essential for ensuring transfusion safety, minimizing turnaround time, and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Association for The Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies (AABB), and College of American Pathologists (CAP). Their integrated software platforms enable automated workflows, data integrity, and traceability, which are key elements in both clinical care and operational readiness. The accompanying reagents, quality control materials, maintenance services, and consumables are necessary to sustain uninterrupted analyzer performance, ensure timely software updates, and provide rapid technical support. Without these provisions, Transfusion Services would face delays in blood product release, increased risk of transfusion-related errors, and diminished readiness for inpatient care and military medical contingencies.
The proposed action is for a Cost Per Test (CPT) contract for two (2) analyzers – laboratory – immunohematology - blood grouping - automated, reagents, quality control, maintenance, and consumables for NMCP. These analyzers shall be the same model and perform the same tests to provide redundancy to form a blood grouping analyzer system. If a vendor solution requires more than one model analyzer to provide all required tests, vendors shall propose two of each model analyzer to meet the required redundancy.
QUESTION AND ANSWERS: All questions shall be addressed in writing and submitted electronically to Matthew Teel at matthew.d.teel.civ@health.mil . Questions shall be submitted no later than 10:00 am Eastern Time (ET); on Tuesday, 02 December 2025.
