RS 3400 Blood Irradiator Equipment and Maintenance Services at Naval Hospital Guam

The Defense Health Agency Healthcare Contracting Division West is awarding a firm-fixed price, sole-source contract to Rad Source Technologies, Inc. for the procurement and installation of one RS 3400 QuaStar X-ray blood irradiator. The equipment will support the new three-bed Neonatal Stabilization Unit at Naval Hospital Guam in Agana to prevent transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease in neonates. This procurement is justified under FAR 13.501 as a sole-source action because the RS 3400 is the only FDA-cleared X-ray model that meets critical technical requirements, including a self-contained cooling system, a footprint of 4 by 5 by 10 feet, and the ability to process up to 6 liters per cycle in under 5 minutes without requiring external water or Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing. The contract includes delivery, installation, and a five-year warranty and maintenance plan structured as a base year from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026, followed by four one-year option periods extending through July 31, 2030. By standardizing this equipment with six other Military Treatment Facilities, the government eliminates the need for additional staff training and avoids cost-prohibitive facility modifications. The award is based on the contractor's status as the sole manufacturer and a self-identified small business under NAICS code 334517. Final acceptance will occur at Naval Hospital Guam upon successful installation and verification of functionality.
