J066--Quanterix Simoa Preventive Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to procure preventive maintenance services for Simoa equipment owned by the PTSD Brain Bank located at the Boston VA Healthcare System. The services are sought to support equipment manufactured by Quanterix Corporation. Interested vendors must submit capability statements demonstrating their authorization to service Quanterix equipment, along with their Unique Entity Identifier and small business designation, to the contract specialist by October 18, 2023 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time. The contracting officer will use the responses to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement or sole source award.

The applicable NAICS code is 541714 for research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. The preventive maintenance services fall under product service code J066. There is no set-aside designation. While the Department of Veterans Affairs intends to sole source award to Quanterix Corporation as the equipment manufacturer, the contracting officer will consider competitive bids submitted in response to the presolicitation notice in their determination. The pre-solicitation notice does not provide budget ranges or timelines for the services.
