The Department of Veterans Affairs James J. Peters Bronx VAMC intends to award a sole source contract to ThermoFisher- Life Technologies Corporation for genome reagents required for pathology and laboratory medicine testing.

There is no set-aside designated for this action. The contract covers various supplies including Qubit RNA and dsDNA assay kits, Ion 540 and 550 chip kits, Oncomine comprehensive chef combo kits, and MagMax express-96 deep well plates and tip combs.

While this notice of intent is not a formal request for proposals, the government will consider expressions of interest to determine the feasibility of a competitive procurement. Interested parties must provide detailed technical and pricing data to demonstrate their capability to provide comparable supplies. All responses must be submitted via email to the contracting officer, Kendall N Jones, no later than 1:00 PM EST on November 16, 2020.
