Notice of Intent to Sole Source SunSCAN 3D System

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, under the Department of Defense, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Sun Nuclear for the acquisition of a Sun Nuclear SunSCAN 3D System, including all associated software and installation services. The procurement is justified based on Sun Nuclear’s unique qualifications, particularly its automated setup process for the 3D scanning water phantom and its ability to perform precise ion chamber measurements to verify center alignment, level scanning arms, and negligible measurement hysteresis, which are critical for accurate radiation therapy quality assurance. The contract will be performed at the university’s location in Bethesda, Maryland, with no set-aside provisions applied under NAICS code 334519. Although the total contract value is not specified, the solicitation number is USU_NoticeOfIntent_SunSCAN_3D, posted on June 4, 2026, with responses due by June 19, 2026. All responsible sources may submit proposals, but must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government and not cost or time prohibitive, and that they can meet the stated requirements. The government will not assume responsibility for any costs incurred by respondents. Primary point of contact for submissions is Shea Foster via email, and all communication must be directed through this channel. No additional contract clauses, special requirements, inspection criteria, packaging specifications, or evaluation factors are detailed in the notice, as it serves solely as a pre-solicitation announcement to allow for potential competition prior to final award.
