NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 22, located at 4811 Airport Plaza Drive, Long Beach, CA 90815 is issuing this Notice of Intent (NOI) to inform industry contractors of the Government s intent to execute a Sole Source Award under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for a base plus four year, firm-fixed-price contract, to Roche Diagnostics, Inc. (ROCHE) located at 9115 Hague Road, Indianapolis, IN 46250.
The Histology Department located at Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System (SAVAHCS) requires upgrades to the existing Vantage Workflow System with a service and maintenance agreement for a period of one-year base and four optional years. This workflow system is used in the Histology Laboratory to track patient tissue specimens from receipt by generating barcode labels for specimen containers at accessioning through barcoded cassette printing, grossing, tissue processing, embedding, generation of barcoded microscope slide label printing at microtomy, staining, and case assembly. The bar-coding maintained by the system ensures that the patient identification on the microscope slides is accurate, and diagnosis made by the pathologist viewing the slides belongs to the correct patient.
The current system requires software and equipment updates along with continued support to produce microscope slide labeling that needs to be compatible with the existing special stainer and digital pathology scanning recognition.
The Contractor shall provide upgrades including: new replacement label printers and barcode scanners, update the system to Windows 11 (required by 9/30/2026), and service maintenance coverage for the tracking system instrumentation in the Histology Laboratory.
A determination not to compete this proposed contract was made pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 and FAR Part 13, specifically 13.106-1(b)(1) Soliciting from a single source. (1) For...
