About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 is seeking a contractor to provide preventative maintenance services for a BD FACSJazz Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System located at 11301 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90073. The contractor must send a qualified field service representative to perform preventive maintenance inspections, including calibrations, alignments, lubrication, and part replacement as necessary to maintain the instrument in accordance with published technical specifications. The contractor is responsible for providing all required parts, with defective parts returned to BD Biosciences, and must provide a minimum of eight hours of combined labor and travel per service visit. A critical modification issued on April 27, 2026, removed the previous requirement that the contractor be an authorized BD Biosciences service provider, significantly broadening the potential contractor pool. The response deadline for this sources sought announcement is May 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time, and responses should be submitted in writing to the contracting office.
This pre-solicitation notice is being issued with no set-aside designation, opening competition to all qualified contractors registered in SAM (www.sam.gov). The established service rates are $620.00 per hour for standard labor and travel with a minimum four-hour billing requirement, $930.00 per hour for overtime labor and travel, and $3,000.00 for premium response service with a two-business-day response time. No incumbent contractor is identified in the available documentation, and no specific award value or contract duration is provided in the pre-solicitation materials. The NAICS code for this requirement is 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), and the Product Service Code is J065 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment- Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies). This announcement is for market research purposes only and does not obligate the government to issue a formal solicitation or award a contract.
