The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is seeking to procure specialized reference laboratory testing services through an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle. The contract will establish a long-term partnership with a qualified specialized reference laboratory testing contractor to support the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle, Washington. The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 621511 (Medical Laboratories) and PSC code Q301 (Reference Laboratory Testing), indicating a focus on laboratory diagnostic and testing capabilities. While the pre-solicitation notice provides the framework for the procurement, specific evaluation criteria and detailed technical requirements will likely be outlined in the formal solicitation document. Interested vendors should submit responses by November 13, 2025, with the formal solicitation details available through the VA Puget Sound Health Care System's website and additional information obtainable from contract specialist Eric Lingenfelter at eric.lingenfelter@va.gov.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside contract, meaning all eligible vendors may compete regardless of their business classification. The contract will be structured as a five-year IDIQ agreement with five ordering periods, running from December 1, 2025, through November 30, 2030, providing continuity and stability in the laboratory testing services provided to the VA facility. The pre-solicitation notice does not disclose specific award values, budget ranges, or identify any incumbent contractors, information that will likely be revealed when the formal solicitation is released. The contracting office is located in Vancouver, Washington, and will manage the award and administration of the contract. Vendors should prepare comprehensive proposals demonstrating their laboratory capabilities, quality assurance practices, and ability to meet the specialized testing needs of a major VA medical facility.
