About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VA VISN 15) is conducting market research to procure an Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer for the Wichita VA facility's laboratory. The freezer must be a laboratory-grade unit with specific technical requirements, including a 15-20 cubic feet capacity, capable of maintaining temperatures between -86°C to -50°C, featuring a hinged door, 115-volt power, multiple shelving, and EPA-approved R290 refrigerant. The RFI targets businesses within NAICS code 333415, specifically encouraging participation from small business categories such as Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), and Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB). Interested vendors are required to submit detailed company information, including size status, manufacturer/distributor details, existing federal contract numbers, and capabilities demonstrating compliance with equipment specifications. The response deadline is set for May 29, 2025, with submissions to be sent via email to Cory Rosene.

This pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single ultra-low temperature freezer with precise technical specifications. The equipment is intended for laboratory reagents and specimen storage, suggesting a critical need for precise temperature-controlled storage in the VA's medical research or diagnostic operations. Vendors are expected to provide their System for Award Management (SAM) Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number as part of their response. The RFI emphasizes that this is a market research exercise and does not constitute a formal solicitation, allowing the VA to gather comprehensive information about potential suppliers and their capabilities for meeting the specified freezer requirements.
