About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 19, Rocky Mountain Acquisition Center is requesting information and sources for Reference Laboratory Testing Services to support the Glasgow Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Glasgow, Montana. The services required include specimen collection and laboratory testing for Glasgow veterans, encompassing both emergent and routine testing capabilities performed within Glasgow.

This is a Sources Sought Notice (RFI) only and does not constitute a formal solicitation; therefore, evaluation criteria have not been specified at this time. Interested contractors must submit capability statements including contact information and business size status to Contract Specialist Ernest Appiah by November 12, 2025, at 9:00 AM Mountain Time.
No set-aside designations have been applied to this procurement opportunity. The solicitation number is 36C25926Q0066, with the NAICS code 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and a business size standard threshold of up to $10 million. No current incumbent or contract award value has been disclosed in this sources sought notice. This RFI is exploratory in nature and may or may not result in a future formal solicitation, and the VA has explicitly stated it will not pay for information submitted, answer questions regarding the opportunity, or honor requests for solicitation copies. Interested vendors should note that this notice serves as a preliminary market research effort to identify potential qualified sources for future contracting action.
