The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its 242-Network Contract Office 02, has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source procurement for ABBOTT ALINITY-M PCR Molecular Reagents and Supplies. This procurement, identified under solicitation number 36C24226Q0498, is classified under NAICS code 325413, which pertains to In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing. The associated Product Service Code is 6550, further specifying the focus on medical and laboratory supplies.
The primary objective of this procurement is to secure a reliable supply of ABBOTT ALINITY-M PCR molecular reagents and related consumables. These specialized reagents are essential for the operation of the Abbott Alinity-M platform, a molecular diagnostic system widely used for high-throughput PCR testing. The intended outcome is to ensure uninterrupted diagnostic testing capabilities, supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs’ mission to provide timely and accurate laboratory services to veterans.
This notice serves as a formal declaration of the agency’s intent to pursue a sole source acquisition, meaning that the procurement will not be competed among multiple vendors. Instead, it is anticipated that the contract will be awarded directly to the manufacturer or authorized distributor of the ABBOTT ALINITY-M PCR reagents and supplies. This approach is typically justified by the proprietary nature of the products, compatibility requirements with existing laboratory equipment, or the need for continuity in testing protocols.
Key requirements for this procurement include the provision of genuine ABBOTT ALINITY-M PCR molecular reagents and associated supplies, delivered in accordance with the operational needs of the VA laboratory facilities. The selected contractor will be expected to ensure product authenticity, timely delivery, and compliance with all relevant regulatory standards for in-vitro diagnostic substances.
The contracting activity is managed by the 242-Network Contract Office 02, a federal office within the Department of Veterans Affairs. Interested parties seeking further information or wishing to express interest in this opportunity should contact Aleta Jennette, the designated primary point of contact, via email at [email protected] or by phone at (914) 737-4400 ext 2068.
This notice remains active, with a response deadline set for April 30, 2026, at 14:04. Additional details, including any attachments, can be accessed through the official SAM.gov opportunity listing at https://sam.gov/opp/1ce72eabb087494f8866f2cca86244a2/view.
Contractors considering this opportunity should note that it is a sole source procurement with no set-aside requirements indicated. The focus is on securing proprietary molecular diagnostic reagents and supplies that are integral to the continued operation of the Abbott Alinity-M system within VA laboratory settings. As such, only vendors with the capability to provide these specific products—either as the original manufacturer or as an authorized distributor—are likely to be considered for award.
