About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, specifically the VA Sierra Pacific Network (VISN 21), is seeking a qualified medical laboratory to provide Pharmacy Gloved Fingertip Testing (GFT) and Media Fill Testing (MFT) services. The contract requires an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory capable of processing microbiological surface and air samples from four VA medical facilities in Nevada and California. Contractors must follow 2023 USP standards for detailed microbiological testing, including gloved fingertip sampling, media-fill testing, surface sampling, and air sampling. The evaluation will focus on contractors' ability to demonstrate specific experience through detailed reference contracts, with a strict requirement for comprehensive documentation and verifiable performance history. Interested contractors must submit their responses via email to ladonna.collins@va.gov by March 17, 2025, at 3:30 PM Pacific Time, with a comprehensive capability statement and all required supporting documentation.

The procurement is not currently set aside for any specific small business category, but the VA is particularly interested in responses from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). The contract uses NAICS code 621511 with a size standard of $41.5 million and Product Service Code Q301 for Medical Reference Laboratory Testing. The initial performance period is one year with potential option years, though specific award value is not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and provide a Unique Entity ID. Reporting requirements are rigorous, mandating notification within one business day for samples exceeding action levels and complete reports within three business days of testing completion. The laboratory must not outsource work and must be prepared to conduct testing across multiple VA healthcare facilities in the region.
