AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Maryland Health Care System, plans to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to GE Healthcare for the preventive maintenance and service coverage of GE radiology equipment at the Baltimore and Perry Point VA Medical Centers. This decision is based on the equipment’s proprietary nature and the unique qualifications of GE Healthcare as the original equipment manufacturer, which provides exclusive access to necessary parts, software updates, clinical application support, and remote service capabilities required to maintain these specialized diagnostic imaging systems. The contract includes maintenance, repairs, software updates, clinical support, travel, labor, and parts, with service reports to be submitted within two weeks of each service visit. Any new GE equipment added during the contract term will be incorporated through modifications. The supported equipment includes a variety of GE diagnostic devices such as Definium 656 HD, FlashPad Digital Wireless Detectors, OEC Series 9900 Elite, Xeleris Workstations, Discovery NM/CT 870 DR, Optima NM/CT 640 DR, and LOGIQ E10 R2, each covered under specific uptime commitments, response times, and field service availability during regular business hours. Key performance guarantees include a 97% uptime commitment for most devices—95% for certain ultrasound models—30-minute phone response, 4 to 6-hour on-site response, and next day parts delivery by 10:30 AM local time. The contract duration is set for 12 months from the award date, and while this is a sole source intent under FAR guidelines, the VA is open to receiving capability statements or proposals by June 19, 2026, to assess the potential for competitive procurement. The contract falls under NAICS code 334517 and will be managed by the Network Contracting Office 05 located in Linthicum, Maryland.
