What this contract is for

Agency: VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF / VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Set-aside: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside
NAICS: 334516
Scope: Federal

Background: Several sites in VISN 23 are in need of replacement and/or additional cassette and slide label printers.

Fargo and Iowa City’s current cassette and slide label printers have reached end of their life expectancy and we have begun to see an increase in issues that require a service call.

The increased downtime of these machines greatly impacts the speed and efficiency of the labs in preparing specimens.

Additionally, the labs are seeking newer models of equipment which have additional features that would increase the speed and efficiency of the staff in preparing specimens.

Central Iowa is currently hand labeling their cassettes and slides and is in need of this equipment to maximize productivity, decrease ergonomic strain, reduce errors, and create continuity.

Purpose of Project: Obtain 3 new cassette printers and accessories (1 each for Central Iowa, Iowa City, and Fargo) and 8 new slide label printers (4 for Iowa City and 2 each for Central Iowa and Fargo).

Offerors shall be registered and active at System for award Management (SAM) at https://beta.sam.gov at time of offer.

Refer to the attached Statement of Work.

Refer to Price/Cost Schedule for line items.

All questions must be in writing and emailed to [email protected].

All questions must be received no later than 13:00 CST 07/30/2026.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
