Q301--IV Room Environmental Testing

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VISN 21 – VA Northern California Health Care System) is conducting market research through a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation No. 36C26126Q0652) to identify qualified vendors capable of providing IV‑Room Environmental and Staff Testing at the Palo Alto, CA facility. The effort will require a contractor to pick up, incubate, process, and analyze Gloved Fingertip/Thumb (GFT) samples, Media‑Fill Test (MFT) samples, and monthly viable surface samples in accordance with the 2023 USP 797 standards, reporting results (pass/fail for MFT; CFU counts and organism identification for surface samples). The vendor must supply all personnel, equipment, transportation, and related services, while the VA will furnish testing plates, paddles, and media‑fill kits. The contract is envisioned as a base period from 07/01/2026 to 06/30/2027 with up to four one‑year options through 06/30/2031. Respondents must submit, via the designated VA contact (Shaneldylana.Pagaragan@va.gov), the following: company name, point of contact and email, an informal quote, capabilities statement, business size, UEI number, and any existing IDIQ contracts (e.g., GSA, NASA SEWP, DLA eCAT, VA SAC/NAC) that could be used for this work. Failure to provide all seven items will render the response non‑responsive. This notice is for information gathering only; a formal RFQ may be issued later.
