6515--541-26-3-250-0303 - Olympus BX43 Pathology Microscope Brand Name Only Small Business Set-Aside
The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center in Cleveland, OH, seeks two new Evident (formerly Olympus) BX43-1-3 cytology microscopes with True Color LED light sources and all required OEM components/accessories for the Cytology Section. The contractor must provide on-site installation, configuration, calibration, and operational verification so the systems are fully ready for clinical diagnostic use and interoperable with the existing Evident BX-series fleet. The equipment must include at least a one-year manufacturer warranty covering optical, mechanical, and illumination systems. Delivery, installation, configuration, and commissioning must be completed within 90 calendar days from contract award unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Contracting Officer. This is a small business set-aside procurement requiring brand-name OEM equipment; non-OEM or alternate-brand products would not meet the laboratory’s interoperability and standardization requirements.
