About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 16 has issued a sole-source contract intent notice for emergent special laboratory testing services at the G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery System in Jackson, Mississippi. The VA intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to Mississippi Baptist Medical Center under the authority of 41 U.S.C 253(c)(1), which allows sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The contract will cover specialized therapeutic drug monitoring and miscellaneous laboratory testing services compatible with current testing methodologies. The base period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with four additional twelve-month option periods available. This procurement falls under NAICS code 621511 for Medical Laboratories and PSC code Q301 for Reference Laboratory Testing.
The primary purpose of this notice is to announce the VA's intent to proceed with sole-source procurement while providing an opportunity for other qualified vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties must submit a capabilities statement by July 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST to contract specialist Michelle Atwell at michelle.atwell@va.gov, referencing number 36C25625Q1125 in the subject line. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide clear, unambiguous evidence of their ability to deliver the required laboratory services. The capabilities statement must demonstrate compatibility with current testing methodologies and the capacity to provide emergent special laboratory testing services. If no viable responses are received by the deadline, the VA will proceed with negotiations exclusively with Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, and the government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on received responses.
