Description
The VA intends to award a sole‑source, indefinite‑delivery, indefinite‑quantity contract to Agilent Technologies for the maintenance, firmware/software updates, engineering upgrades, and proprietary remote‑support services of its CROSSLAB SILVER triple‑quadrupole LC/MS instruments used across VA facilities. The contract will run for a base year plus up to four one‑year options, totaling a potential five‑year performance period. This notice solicits interest statements but the award is predetermined to the OEM, Agilent, because the required tools and software are proprietary.
• Maintenance and support for JW 6465, VV 6465, and MW 6465 LC/MS instruments (CROSSLAB SILVER).
• Includes proprietary firmware, software, remote diagnostics, and compliance platforms exclusive to Agilent.
• Performance period: 11/01/2026 – 10/31/2031 (base year + four options).
• Sole‑source justification under GSAR 538.7104‑3(b)(1)(ii) – unique, highly specialized supplies.
• No competitive bidding; interested parties may submit capability statements by 22 Oct 2026.
