AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Puget Sound Health Care System, intends to award a sole-source contract to Curve Beam for the procurement of the pedCAT weight-bearing foot CT scanner along with supporting warranties and components. This sole-source acquisition, conducted under FAR 6.302-1 due to there being only one responsible source, involves a specialized imaging device designed specifically to meet the needs of the veteran population. The pedCAT scanner features a cone-beam CT capable of capturing a 35 cm diameter and 20 cm height imaging volume, accommodating over 90% of veterans' feet, with a high resolution of 0.37 mm isotropic voxel size. The system is compact, weighing 400 lbs, with dimensions of 48 x 58 x 48 inches, and includes software for 3D visualization, multi-planar imaging slices, automatic generation of standard X-ray views, and measurement tools. The scanner operates with a low radiation dose—only 5 microSieverts, which is less than 20% of a standard clinical CT scan—and offers rapid scan times ranging from 20 seconds for partial foot scans to under a minute for bilateral feet. Installation requirements are minimal; it requires a standard 115 VAC power supply with no additional shielding or environmental controls. The device holds several regulatory approvals, including US FDA 510(k), Health Canada, CE Mark, and approvals from authorities in China, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan. Although this notice is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, any responsible source believing they can meet the requirements may submit a capability statement by the specified deadline for government consideration, after which the decision to proceed without competition remains at the government’s discretion.
