About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 16 in Houston, Texas has issued a Sources Sought Notice (RFI) to conduct market research for the acquisition of one SpectraMax iD3 Multi-Mode Microplate Detection Platform for the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. This specialized analytical laboratory instrument must provide multiple detection modes including fluorescence, absorbance, and luminescence capabilities, along with monochromator-based system functionality, temperature control, automated features, and compatibility with various microplate formats. The RFI seeks detailed vendor information including manufacturing location, business size classification, authorized distributor status, and available contract vehicle options to help define the procurement strategy. Responses to this market research inquiry are due by 3:00 PM Central Time on July 31, 2025, under solicitation number 36C25625Q1249. The government has classified this procurement under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees, and vendors are encouraged to provide estimated pricing information as part of their market research responses.
This procurement opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified vendors. The acquisition involves procuring a single unit of the SpectraMax iD3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader, though no specific incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the documentation. No budget ranges or award values have been disclosed in this preliminary market research phase, as the government emphasizes this is strictly a sources sought notice and not a formal solicitation. The RFI falls under PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies, and the government has made clear that information submission is voluntary with no compensation provided to respondents. The relatively short response window of three days from posting to deadline indicates the government's urgency in gathering market intelligence for this specialized laboratory equipment acquisition.
