A critical technical requirement is that the system must be MRI compatible and provide automated end-tidal gas targeting, reproducibility, and operational efficiency. The procurement includes the delivery of the equipment and all associated components, as well as professional installation and training services. The contract is being pursued as a sole source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 and VHAPM Part 813.106-1(b), as Thornhill Research Inc. is the exclusive producer and distributor of the system. The equipment will be utilized by the Research and Development Service at the VA Boston Healthcare System-Jamaica Plain. While the government has issued a pre-solicitation notice and a sources sought request for capability statements to assist in acquisition planning, the current intent remains to negotiate directly with the sole provider. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Matenoa Taufa.
