The services will be performed at multiple VA facilities within VISN 23, including the Midwest VA network in Minnesota and other VA sites in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

• Performance location: Multiple VA facilities across VISN 23 (VA, NC, SC) and the VA Midwest Healthcare Network in Eagan, MN.
• Procurement method: Sole‑source intent under 41 U.S.C § 253(c)(1) / FAR 6.302‑1; no formal solicitation unless the VA decides to compete after reviewing capability statements.
• Submission: Capability statements due by 10 Oct 2026 10:00 a.m. CT via email (subject “Response to Lab Analyzers Services”); no phone calls or oral communications accepted.
