About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, announced on September 15, 2026, the award of a sole-source contract to Lab Products, LLC for RAIR HD Super Mouse 750 Micro Isolator systems. The contract, numbered 36C24E26P0035, carries a total value of $397,352.87 and runs from August 26, 2026, through December 12, 2026.
The VA justified the sole-source award under FAR 13.106-1(b) and 8.405-6(a)(2) based on the proprietary and specialized nature of the system's airflow/manifold technology. Lab Products, LLC manufactures this specific system exclusively; no other vendor manufactures, distributes, or services it. The VA's market research confirmed no domestic or non-domestic alternatives exist. Transitioning to competing systems would create compatibility issues with the VA's existing RAIR infrastructure, disrupt validated research environments, jeopardize AAALAC accreditation and OLAW/IACUC compliance, and cause significant cost duplication and operational delays. The procurement includes the complete rack system, HEPA filtration modules, environmental control assemblies, manufacturer installation, calibration, environmental validation, on-site staff training, and standard warranty and support.
The contracting office is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For questions, contact Contract Specialist Latonya Hughes at latonya.hughes2@va.gov.
