About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina, has issued a Special Notice for a firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract to provide preventative maintenance on Leica Stain instruments used at the medical center. The contract will have a base year from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, with four one-year option periods.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to obtain review and approval to make a new award for the required preventative maintenance services. The VA has determined that Leica Biosystems is the only responsible vendor capable of providing these services without causing unacceptable delays, as Leica is the original equipment manufacturer and is necessary to maintain the existing warranty coverage. The VA cannot accept quotes from other vendors that provide aftermarket parts, as this would void the warranty and jeopardize the reliability and safety of the equipment. The deadline for responses to this Special Notice is June 27, 2024.
Notice text

Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Processed: To obtain review and approval to make a new Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) award for preventative maintenance on Leica Stain instruments used at the Charleston VA Medical Center. Contract to include a base plus four option years.
Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency s Needs:
Stain XL Equipment no: 11531752 S/N: 3617 AXL 100-120/50-60 TS5015 Bond-Max Equipment No: 11323398 S/N: M212181 Bond-maX Processing Module CV5030 w/TS Equipment No: 11723522 S/N:4376 Leica CV5030-TS5015 Peloris- Equipment No 11645503 S/N:0265387B Peloris II# Dual Retort Tissue Processor Peloris- Equipment No 11977726 S/N:0265659B Peloris II# Dual Retort Tissue Processor Bond-III- PM for PCI** Equipment No 12389265 S/N: 3491049 Bond-III (US)
Leica has Exclusive Regional Dealers (ERDs) in the US and Canada to support requirements; however, these ERDs only handle the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Iowa. Therefore, there is no coverage for the state of South Carolina; the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center must be serviced directly by Leica to maintain existing warranty coverage.
Leica Biosystems is the exclusive representative that will sustain and enhance the increasing complexity and sophistication of the Ralph H Johnson Laboratory Program. The CO cannot receive quotes from other vendors that provide after-markets parts, since quality will be at risk as Leica s existing warranty coverage would become void, thus jeopardizing reliability of equipment and safety of our patients. Accordingly, at this present time Leica Biosystems is the only responsible firm capable of providing the services described in Section III above without the Veteran s Health Administration experiencing unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements.
