Q301--donor-derived cell free DNA testing

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2, operating through the Bronx VA Medical Center and James J. Peters VA Medical Center, is seeking full-service donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) testing services to support their renal transplant program. The contractor must provide comprehensive personnel, materials, equipment, transportation, and supervision necessary to deliver accurate, timely, and secure dd-cfDNA testing for monitoring kidney transplant recipients and detecting potential allograft injury or rejection. This procurement falls under the Medical Laboratories NAICS category (621511) and the Reference Laboratory Testing PSC category (Q301). The Pre-solicitation Notice was posted on November 7, 2025, with a due date for responses of November 14, 2025, providing potential bidders with one week to submit their interest and qualifications. Interested contractors should review the three government files provided, which include the procurement description, contract documentation, and a sources sought notice that will help clarify the evaluation criteria and specific requirements.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors. The government files do not specify an incumbent contractor, budget range, or award value in the Pre-solicitation Notice itself, indicating that this information will likely be provided in the formal solicitation documents to follow. The exact contract duration, quantity of tests anticipated, or specific service levels have not been detailed in this preliminary notice. Contractors interested in pursuing this opportunity should use the pre-solicitation period to gather additional information and prepare their capabilities statements and technical proposals in advance of the full solicitation release. Organizations with expertise in advanced molecular testing for transplant immunology and experience managing laboratory quality standards for VA medical facilities would be well-positioned for this procurement.
