6640--Equipment - Iradimed Physio Monitors - IND

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 10 in Battle Creek, Michigan, has awarded a firm-fixed price contract valued at $209,940.90 for the procurement of three iRaimed MRI-compatible patient monitoring systems, along with remote tablet bases, recorder units, and non-magnetic roll stands, to be delivered to the Indianapolis VA Medical Center. The acquisition is structured as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, with awards determined under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, meaning the contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose proposal meets minimum technical requirements at the lowest evaluated price. Delivery is scheduled on an as-required basis, with an estimated lead time of two to three days per order, and FOB Destination terms apply, transferring risk and responsibility to the government upon receipt at the delivery site. The equipment must operate safely in 1.5T and 3T MRI environments, provide continuous wireless monitoring of ECG, SpO2, NIBP, and temperature, and be battery-powered with infection-control compliant materials. The contract incorporates a suite of critical compliance and security clauses, notably 52.240-91, which imposes strict prohibitions on the use of telecommunications equipment or services from covered foreign entities including Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dahua, and ByteDance, along with a ban on TikTok applications; deviations from standard FAR language apply here as well as in clause 52.204-13 regarding SAM maintenance. Contractors must perform reasonable inquiries into their supply chains and report any non-compliant products within 72 hours, with flow-down obligations required to subcontractors. Acceptance of the equipment is contingent upon successful installation, full operational functionality in MRI settings, and documented training of VA clinical and biomedical staff, with final approval resting solely with the Contracting Officer, Brooke Hansen. Invoicing occurs in arrears after receipt and inspection, payments will be processed electronically via the VA Financial Management System using EFT, and all parties must maintain unique entity identifiers for traceability. Although military packing standards are not referenced, product labeling must include brand, model, OEM, manufacturer part numbers, CAGE codes, and entity identification to ensure accountability throughout the federal supply chain.
