Description

Solicitation Number: 36C10G23Q0010 Notice Type: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Synopsis: COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for brand name or equal commercial items prepared in accordance (IAW) with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number 36C10G23Q0010 is issued for this combined synopsis/solicitation; this solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). This combined synopsis/solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2023-01, dated December 30, 2022. Requirement Description: Veterans Affairs (VA) has a requirement to purchase Microscopes Light Laboratory to deliver patient care at its VA Medical Centers around the country. Microscopes Light Laboratory uses visible light focused through a lens system to provide magnification (image amplification) and resolution of specimens under examination. It is one of the most basic components of a clinical laboratory and is used in virtually every department, including chemistry (for urinalysis), hematology, cytology, histology, and microbiology. In hematology, microscopic analysis of blood cells helps diagnose leukemias, anemias, and other blood disorders, as well as infections and allergies. In cytology and histology, microscopic examinations can detect abnormal changes in cells or tissues to differentiate benign, inflammatory, precancerous, or malignant conditions. Microscopic examination of urinary sediment is extremely valuable in laboratory evaluation of kidney function; the combination of a microscopic exam with a macroscopic exam (chemical evaluation) provides a complete urinalysis. Selective staining techniques can also be used in microscopy to help identify parasites, fungi, and bacteria. A single award Requirements contract will be awarded IAW FAR 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal in accordance with all terms, conditions, provisions, specifications, and schedule of this solicitation herein.
