Request for Information (RFI) - MRI Technologist at Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay Cuba

Request for Information (RFI)/ MRI Technologist to be located at Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay Cuba Objective: Navy Medicine is seeking to locate a magnetic resonance imaging technologist at Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay Cuba. The logistics of placing an individual at the base hospital present several challenges due to the remote location and associated housing and transportation issues. Notional Concept: It is the goal of Navy Medicine to place an MRI technologist at NH Guantanamo. Due to the nature of the hospital's mission and the uncertainty of injuries/illnesses, the technologist(s) would need to be available after hours for emergent care as well as normal clinic working hours. The technologist would also provide general radiologic technologist services when not performing MRI duties. Some options include but are not limited to: A rotational schedule, such as three to four week with replacement by another individual; one year terms, etc. It is anticipated that any solicitation resulting from the RFI would allow for the offeror to propose alternative staffing methodologies. Quantifiable factors for consideration include the following. 1. This would be an unaccompanied tour. 2. Quarters are available, either hotel-like or assigned housing for longer stays.
