About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 issued a sole-source intent to award notice for Parhelia OT-2 Handler System Services at VA White River Junction Healthcare System, Vermont, with a response deadline of August 28, 2026. This is not a competitive solicitation; the VA intends to negotiate directly and retains discretion to conduct competitive procurement based on responses received.
The requirement covers a multi-year service agreement (base year plus four option years) providing preventative maintenance, repair services, on-site technical support, application and assay support, and replacement parts for an OT-2 Liquid Handler System and Omni Stainer instrument used in VA Research Service operations. The VA Research Service uses this equipment to evaluate cellular responses in biofluids and assess immunological and biological proteins in pre-clinical and clinical research samples. The VA lacks contractor-trained and certified technicians required to service the equipment and maintain warranty agreements, justifying sole-source procurement. In the event of damage beyond repair to the Omni Stainer, the contractor must deliver a replacement unit.
Prospective vendors must register in SAM.gov and, if claiming Small Business or Veteran Small Business status, must be verified by the SBA and registered in VetCert. Vendors must complete VA Form 10091 for vendorization through the VA contracting system before award. The applicable NAICS code is 541380; PSC is J066. Contact Contracting Officer Tara Dossiema at Tara.Dossiema@va.gov or 603-624-4366 x5129. Vendors must monitor SAM.gov for amendments.
