About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (Southern Arizona VA Health Care System, Tucson) seeks proposals for supply, delivery, installation, and support of an integrated laboratory imaging system (e.g., Bio Rad ChemiDoc or equivalent) to support protein and nucleic acid analysis, with proposals due July 8, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. The procurement carries no set-aside.
Place of performance is Tucson, Arizona 85723. The system must consolidate chemiluminescent, colorimetric, and multiplex fluorescence modalities in a single factory-new instrument with cooled sensors, multi-channel fluorescence imaging across visible and near-infrared wavelengths, automated focus and exposure optimization, integrated analysis software for band/lane analysis and molecular weight estimation, and compatibility with standard electrophoresis gels and blot membranes without external equipment. The system must support total protein normalization or stain-free workflows. Equipment that does not clearly meet all salient characteristics will not be considered technically acceptable. On-site installation, system validation, user training, and at least one year of manufacturer warranty are required. Contractor work hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Pacific Time unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer Representative.
The Non-Manufacturer Rule applies under 13 CFR 121.406. Buy American Supplies requirements (FAR 52.225-1 and FAR 52.225-2) apply. NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; PSC is 6515, Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies. Evaluation uses a Best Value Trade-Off process on five criteria in descending order: Technical Capability, Past Performance (particularly with Federal or VA clients), Delivery & Installation, Support and Warranty, and Price. Proposals must be submitted electronically to sabrina.schofield@va.gov.
Notice text
The Department of Veterans Affairs (Southern Arizona VA Health Care System - Tucson) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for the supply, delivery, installation, and support of an integrated Imaging System (e.g., Bio Rad ChemiDoc OR EQUAL) to support protein and nucleic acid analysis in a laboratory environment. This acquisition will enable standardization of imaging workflows, improved data quality, and streamlined laboratory operations. The laboratory requires a standardized, high-performance imaging platform to support multiple analytical workflows, including the characterization of proteins and nucleic acids. Current reliance on multiple instruments and external imaging services results in inconsistent data, increased turnaround times, and limited quantitative capabilities. The contractor shall provide an integrated imaging system for laboratory use in accordance with the attached Statement of Work (SOW) and salient charectiristics.
Note* Equipment offered that does not clearly meet all of the salient characteristics will not be considered technically acceptable.
Note* The Non-Manufacturer Rule (NMR) in accordance with 13 CFR § 121.406, September 4, 2019 applies to this acquisition. Additionally, as prescribed on 25.1101(a)(1). FAR 52.225-1 Buy American Supplies and FAR 52.225-2 Buy American Certificate applies to this acquisition.
