4710--DUCT CONTAINMENT

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a Sources‑Sought/RFI (Solicitation 36C26226Q1168) to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying thermoplastic exhaust‑system components—including ducts, adapters, elbows, couplings, and a spectrum‑coated steel blower—to support a Level 2 biosafety cabinet used for biohazard sample processing at the Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare System (Los Angeles, CA). Respondents must address the draft/salient characteristics and provide a capabilities statement, company address, size‑status (e.g., SDVOSB, HUBZone, small business under NAICS 326122), and indicate whether they are the manufacturer, an authorized distributor, or can otherwise provide the solution. Additional required information includes SAM.gov UEI/CAGE code, federal supply schedule (GSS/GSA) contract numbers, pricing, lead‑time, product lifespan, leasing options, and compliance with the Buy American Act and 13 CFR 121.406(b)(5) non‑manufacturer rules. Responses are due by 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on 23 July 2026. The point of contact is Sam Choo (Sam.choo@va.gov). The VA will use the information gathered to assess market capability and may issue further RFIs or a formal solicitation based on the results. Unique aspects of this effort include the need for spectrum‑coated steel blower components, potential leasing arrangements, and verification of federal contract coverage for all items.
