6550--Abbott Architect i1000 Reagents

The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a Sources‑Sought/RFI to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying Abbott Architect i1000 reagents, controls, consumables, and related parts for the VA Tucson laboratory. The government seeks information on vendor size status, manufacturing/distribution capability, federal contract holdings, pricing, and UEI to inform a future solicitation. Responses are purely informational and must be emailed by the stated deadline. • FDA‑approved reagents and consumables that physically fit the existing Abbott Architect i1000 analyzer are required. • Vendors must provide size‑status (e.g., SDVOSB, HUBZone), confirm small‑business status under NAICS 325413, and disclose any modifications performed on the items. • Information on existing GSA/FSS, NAC, or NASA SEWP contracts, pricing, and capability statements for “equal‑to” items is requested.
