AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center Network Contracting Office 16 intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Terarecon Inc. for the support of its government-owned Terarecon PACS system located in Houston, Texas. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1 because market research has determined that Terarecon Inc. is the only responsible source capable of providing an on-premises neuroimaging solution that fully complies with the VA’s strict cybersecurity and IT policies; competing platforms are cloud-hosted and thus unauthorized in the VA environment. The contract has a one-year performance period and covers software licensing and support for multiple AI-driven imaging algorithms including Cercare MR Neuro Advanced, Combinostics cNeuro cMRI, and Eureka Clinical AI, along with implementation, onboarding, integration, and platform services. All deliverables must adhere to VA Handbook 6500 and applicable federal standards such as HIPAA, NFPA-99, TJC, NEC, and OSHA, with performance monitored through Vendor Engineering Service Reports requiring dual signatures from end users and Biomedical Engineering. The contract places full responsibility on the contractor to supply all necessary technical documentation, ensure test equipment is calibrated to national standards, and maintain personnel qualified in both OEM systems and VA security protocols. Contractor staff must be fully vaccinated for TB and flu, hold current HIPAA training certifications, and are strictly prohibited from connecting any personal or contractor-owned devices to VA networks. All work products, data, and materials generated are considered the exclusive property of the U.S. Government and subject to stringent confidentiality restrictions. Although no pricing details are provided, the solicitation is structured as a non-competitive acquisition under FAR Part 12 for commercial items with NAICS code 513210 and FSC/PSC 7A20. The contracting officer is the sole point of contact for responses, which must demonstrate compelling evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government by including detailed information on business size, socio-economic status, SAM.gov and SBA VetCerts Registry registration, DUNS number, and ability to perform on schedule. No competitive solicitation will be issued, and any response must be received via email by June 30, 2026.
