The contract requires qualified board-certified medical physicists to conduct routine and follow-up inspections of a broad range of medical imaging equipment, including X-ray, fluoroscopy, CT, MRI, PET/CT, nuclear medicine, and ultrasound systems, across Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. The primary objective is to ensure all equipment meets stringent compliance standards set by the American College of Radiology, the Mammography Quality Standards Act, and internal VA regulations, maintaining the highest levels of safety, accuracy, and operational integrity for patient care. Inspections will involve technical evaluations, performance testing, documentation reviews, and remediation recommendations as needed. The work is to be performed primarily in Nashville, Tennessee, under a subcontract structure with a submission deadline of May 7, 2026, and the opportunity was posted on April 28, 2026. The contractor must have personnel certified by an approved board in medical physics with proven experience in diagnostic imaging systems and a strong understanding of federal and industry-specific quality control requirements. This engagement is part of the VA’s broader initiative to uphold equipment reliability and regulatory adherence across its healthcare delivery network, and the selected entity will be responsible for delivering consistent, detailed, and timely inspection reports that support continuous compliance and optimal clinical outcomes.
