--Purchase of a portable xray system.

The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity intends to award a contract to Minxray, Inc., a small business located in Northbrook, Illinois, for the procurement of an ACL4-COM CR Imaging System and a portable medical X-ray system, the MXRSLW-COM. Due to the specialized nature of the equipment and the limited number of suppliers authorized to provide this hardware and software combination, only two qualified military contractors exist: Minxray and SourceOne. Minxray has been identified as offering the lower price, which justifies the use of a non-competitive procurement process under FAR 6.302, as no other suppliers can meet the government's specific requirements. This acquisition will proceed without full and open competition, with an opportunity for interested parties to provide written evidence demonstrating their capability to meet the government's needs and the potential benefits of competition. If no such responses are received within 15 days of the notice publication, the award will be finalized with Minxray. The solicitation is identified under the NAICS code 423450 and specifically addresses the purchase of a portable X-ray system. The designated point of contact for this procurement is listed as [email hidden].
