NON-COMPETITIVE
COMBINED SYNOPSIS / SOLICITATION

Title: NYOX 3T Upgrade Plus

Solicitation No.: 75N98026Q01218

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

The solicitation number is 75N98026Q01218. This solicitation is issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a non-competitive acquisition and is intended to result in the award of a purchase order without providing for full and open competition.

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of FAR 12.603, Streamlined Solicitation for Commercial Products or Commercial Services, and is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The additional statutory and regulatory authority for this non-competitive acquisition is 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(ii).

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director, Office of Acquisitions, intends to negotiate and award a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order on a non-competitive basis to:

Canon Medical Components
2355 Main Street, Suite 150
Irvine, CA 92614

for the NYOX 3T Upgrade Plus, including associated hardware, software updates, service, maintenance, and warranty support.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT

The NIH laboratory currently possesses an existing specialized MRI field camera used in conjunction with its clinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. The field camera is an integral component of the existing research system and is used to monitor and improve the quality and reproducibility of MRI data.

NIH requires an upgrade to the existing field camera system through the acquisition of the NYOX 3T Upgrade Plus, including a new hardware module and associated software, updates, service, maintenance, and warranty support for a period of three years.

The procurement is necessary to maintain the functionality, compatibility, accuracy, and reliability of the existing MRI field-camera system and to ensure that NIH clinical MRI data remain accurate, consistent, and reproducible. Reproducibility is a critical consideration in biomedical research because reliable and repeatable measurements are necessary to support valid scientific conclusions.

The existing field camera is a proprietary Canon product, and the required upgrade, associated hardware, software updates, and maintenance services must be fully compatible with the existing Canon system. The required upgrade components and related maintenance are available only from Canon Medical Components or an authorized source capable of providing Canon's proprietary equipment, software, updates, and service.

Use of an alternative manufacturer's equipment or third-party components could result in incompatibility with the existing field camera system, loss of functionality, inability to obtain required proprietary software updates and service, and potential degradation of MRI data quality and reproducibility. Accordingly, the Government has determined that the required upgrade and associated services can only be obtained from the specified source.

CONTRACT TYPE

The Government intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order.
