## Description

The Department of Veterans Affairs (Southern Arizona VA Health Care System - Tucson) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for the supply, delivery, installation, and support of an integrated Imaging System (e.g., Bio Rad ChemiDoc OR EQUAL) to support protein and nucleic acid analysis in a laboratory environment. This acquisition will enable standardization of imaging workflows, improved data quality, and streamlined laboratory operations.

The laboratory requires a standardized, high-performance imaging platform to support multiple analytical workflows, including the characterization of proteins and nucleic acids. Current reliance on multiple instruments and external imaging services results in inconsistent data, increased turnaround times, and limited quantitative capabilities. The contractor shall provide an integrated imaging system for laboratory use in accordance with the attached Statement of Work (SOW) and salient charectiristics.

Note* Equipment offered that does not clearly meet all of the salient characteristics will not be considered technically acceptable. Note* The Non-Manufacturer Rule (NMR) in accordance with 13 CFR § 121.406, September 4, 2019 applies to this acquisition. Additionally, as prescribed on 25.1101(a)(1). FAR 52.225-1 Buy American Supplies and FAR 52.225-2 Buy American Certificate applies to this acquisition.
