LINEAR ACCELERATOR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed-price contract to Varian Medical Systems, Inc. under solicitation SPE2D120F0280, with a total value of $1,470,133.00, effective July 15, 2026. This contract is a modification under the existing master contract SPE2D119D0029 and involves the provision of a linear accelerator identified by NSN 6525GM5021318 and PR 0083799954. The award follows commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Part 12, incorporating FAR 52.212-4 and 52.212-5 by reference, which govern contract terms and conditions for commercial products. The contract was awarded as a small business set-aside, with the awardee holding a CAGE code of 0MAZ9 and deemed to satisfy small business size status, though no specific socioeconomic certifications beyond small business are confirmed. The delivery is subject to FOB destination terms, with inspection and formal acceptance conducted by the government upon receipt at the designated delivery site. The contract includes a fully executed SF-30 modification document and schedule pages, reflecting a price reduction from the original estimate and revised delivery scheduling, with an expected delivery date of July 14, 2027. Contract administration is managed by the DLA Troop Support, Medical Supply Chain FSD, with Christina Heller serving as the contracting officer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Invoicing must be submitted to the designated payment office in Columbus, Ohio, though the specific invoicing methodology—paper or electronic—is not explicitly stated. While the contract establishes payment terms and accountability structures, no detailed packaging, preservation, or labeling requirements are specified, nor are any MIL-STDs referenced for these areas. Similarly, no technical specifications, performance metrics, or quality standards beyond contractual conformity are outlined in the provided documentation. The basis of award is not definitively stated as either lowest price technically acceptable or trade-off, though the significant reduction in price suggests cost was a predominant factor. The contract contains no identified contracting officer’s representative or technical representative, and no special requirements such as security clearances, OCI provisions, or option periods are mentioned. Reporting obligations are triggered by the inclusion of a DPAS rated order and the commercial item nature of the contract, potentially subjecting the contractor to small business subcontracting plan requirements, though
