The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Agilent Technologies for one Seahorse XF Pro Analyzer, including proprietary software, installation, training, and a 5-year extended warranty, valued at $295,169.60. This live-cell metabolic analysis platform is required by the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System / VISN 17 Center of Excellence to support biomedical research. Performance of services will occur at the CTVHCS location in Texas. The government determined that only Agilent can meet its minimum needs due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and software. No responses were received to the public notice of intent posted on SAM.gov from June 24 to July 7, 2026.
