The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 22 Network Contracting Office, is issuing a Sources‑Sought/RFI (Solicitation No. 36C26226Q0691) to identify potential suppliers of oncology reagents for the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. Respondents must indicate whether they hold a GSA/FSS, NAC, NASA SEWP, or other federal contract (including contract type and number) and whether the required items are available on that schedule. The RFI requests general pricing, DUNS number, business size status (e.g., SDVOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, Large Business), NAICS 325413 small‑business eligibility, and detailed capability statements showing that “equal‑to” products meet all salient characteristics. Key technical requirements for the reagents include: detection of wild‑type versus mutated genes; compatibility with DNA extracted from whole blood or bone marrow using RT‑PCR or High‑Resolution Melt analysis; DNA quantification by OD 260 nm; ability to dilute DNA to 5 ng/µL in 1× TE (pH 8.0); storage at 4‑8 °C for one week (or 20 °C for longer term) and at –15 °C to –30 °C with a minimum one‑year shelf life; optimized real‑time qPCR performance with 25 ng purified genomic DNA and a limit of detection of 0.061. The brand‑name reference is the Ipsogen JAK2 MutaQuant Kit (673513, 77 kits, each containing 24 reagents). Responses must be submitted by email to Kahlfanie.Carabon@va.gov no later than 15:00 PT on May 1 2026. This RFI is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation.
