AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 intends to sole source procure two FerrAlert Halo II Plus Ferromagnetic Portable Detectors, Model H22+, from Veteran Healthcare Supply Solutions for installation at the Richmond VAMC Radiology Department to replace aging, end-of-life systems. This is a firm-fixed-price, one-time purchase for new Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) units only, with no gray market, remanufactured, or unauthorized third-party components permitted. The equipment must meet stringent safety standards outlined in National VA MRI Directive 1105.05 and the American College of Radiology manual on MR Safety, functioning as a non-intrusive detection system at the MRI suite entry to prevent ferromagnetic objects from entering Zone IV. The detectors must provide distinct audio and visual warnings only upon entry into the magnet room, not on exit or door operation, to mitigate alarm fatigue as recommended by The Joint Commission, and must not trigger on non-ferromagnetic materials. Physically, each unit must be a minimum of 83 inches in height and adjustable in width between 25 and 54 inches to accommodate the existing ADA-compliant, stretcher-accessible doorway, and operate within a 100 to 240 volt AC power range. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339112 with a size standard of 1,000 employees and is conducted under FAR 12.102(a) as a sole source action. Only vendors with verifiable OEM authorization, including warranty and service assurance directly from the manufacturer, are eligible to respond. Responses must be submitted electronically by July 8, 2026, and will be evaluated solely to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted—no solicitation will be issued, and the Government retains full discretion to proceed or not. All software, licensing, and maintenance terms must strictly adhere to OEM conditions.

Full Description
*Please see Salient Characteristics below
Salient Characteristics:
Functions to be performed; Ferromagnetic detectors that are attached to the entry way outside of the MRI scanner room that detect ferromagnetic threats that may enter Zone IV. The primary purpose of ferromagnetic detectors is to prevent ferromagnetic objects from entering Zone III (controlled access area) and Zone IV (MRI scanner room), where they can become projectiles due to the powerful magnetic field. These detectors enhance patient and staff safety by identifying potentially hazardous ferromagnetic materials, such as certain medical implants, tools, and personal items. Performance required; System must satisfy National VA MRI Directive 1105.05 pg. 13. System must satisfy American College of Radiology manual on MR Safety. Must provide a pre warning on approach to the magnet room. System must reduce alarm fatigue which is recommended by The Joint Commission. System must not have alarms on the door which include the opening and closing of the door, to prevent constant alarm sounding which lead to alarm fatigue. System must only alarm on entry into the magnet and not alarm on exit. Non-ferromagnetic material must not activate the alarms. System must have both audio and visual signals that will activate on detection of ferromagnetic materials.
Essential physical characteristics; Dimensions (if applicable) The system must have a minimum height of 83 . The width of the system should be specific to the width of the current entryway door into the magnet room, which must be wide enough for stretcher, ADA compliant. The power supply must be a minimum of 100 volts ac power and a maximum of 240 volts ac power.
