Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Network Contracting Office 22 solicited tissue processors for VISN 22 to support histology departments across multiple sites. The procurement also included uninterruptible power supplies for the processors, with delivery, installation, and training required under the effort. It was structured as an unrestricted, open-market, firm-fixed-price contract with a 90-day period of performance, and the equipment had to be new, current model units meeting salient characteristics such as processing 300 to 600 tissue cassettes, managing reagents, and providing at least 20 minutes of backup power through the UPS. The response deadline was May 4, 2026 at 7:00 AM Pacific Time, the point of contact was Contract Specialist Marcos Diaz, and Amendment 0002 later canceled the solicitation because of changes in the Government’s needs.
