The VA is conducting market research via a Sources Sought/RFI for an instrument rental reagent agreement for a new, current-production automated blood bank solid phase analyzer plus associated reagents/consumables for the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. The period of performance is 04/01/2027 through 03/31/2032. The analyzer must support ABO/Rh, weak D reflex, antibody screen/identification, antigen phenotyping, DAT, and crossmatching, with specified QC, maintenance, turnaround, uptime, and upgrade requirements. Reagents must be compatible with manual tube testing as backup; otherwise a second analyzer would be needed, and the contractor must provide monthly standing orders for routine cell suspension reagents. Interested contractors should submit capability/qualification information and the market research questionnaire; this is not a solicitation and no award will result from responses.
