AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Service Area Office East R&D Contracting Office plans to negotiate a sole-source contract with Siemens Medical Solutions, Inc. for an upgrade to the existing Siemens Magnetom 7T system located at the San Francisco VA Medical Center.

This action is not a request for competitive proposals but allows interested parties to express interest with supporting literature by a specified deadline to assist the contracting officer in deciding whether to proceed competitively or sole-source. The NAICS code is 334510, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. Responses must include socioeconomic status, DUNS numbers, and Federal Supply Schedule information if applicable, and are to be submitted via email only.
