6515--Equipment - Canon Ultrasound Power Supply - Ann Arbor

This contract (36C25026Q0155) awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 10, pertains to the emergency sole-source procurement of a Canon Ultrasound Power Supply (Part # PM30-43282-2*H) for the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. The award was made to Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, due to an urgent need to restore functionality to the Canon Aplio I800 Ultrasound Machine, critical for maintaining uninterrupted diagnostic imaging services. Market research confirmed no alternative sources or third-party vendors are authorized or capable of supplying or installing this proprietary equipment, justifying the sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.403(b)(2). The contract value is approximately $30,196.40, covering the supply and installation by certified Canon personnel exclusively. The scope mandates original Canon-certified parts and installation by Canon-certified technicians to ensure compliance with OEM standards and preserve the integrity and operational reliability of the ultrasound system. Performance and acceptance will occur at the Ann Arbor facility, with the VA responsible for inspection and acceptance. Administrative contacts for the contract include Contracting Specialist Laura Poma and Contracting Officer Kellie Konopinski, both associated with the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. The contract does not include competitive evaluation factors, option periods, or packaging and marking instructions, reflecting its urgent, non-competitive nature. No socioeconomic set-asides or applicable FAR clauses such as 52.219-6 were identified in the documentation. Overall, this contract exemplifies a focused, urgent equipment replacement requiring strict OEM compliance to support critical healthcare operations within the VA system.
