AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 23, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of leasing a mobile CT scanner system with 128 IVR slices per rotation and a UFC Detector System for a base period from August 3 to December 2, 2026, at the Iowa City VA Health Care System. This sources-sought notice seeks non-binding statements of interest from vendors to determine market availability, capabilities, and socioeconomic status of potential suppliers under the NAICS code 532490, which has a small business size standard of $40 million. Responses must include company details, SAM Unique Entity ID, business size classification (including SDVOSB, VOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, small, or large business), and confirmation of an active GSA Schedule or Federal Supply Schedule with sufficient remaining term beyond the performance period. The requirement encompasses weekly rental of the mobile CT unit, delivery and return fees, daily training sessions, cleaning services, and hard drive replacement—all provided under a firm-fixed-price structure with a mandatory 95% system uptime. The equipment must meet specific technical specifications including a 0.48-second rotation speed, 70 cm gantry aperture, and compliance with NEMA XR-29 radiation safety standards, while software must be at Level VC50A and include advanced imaging features like SAFIRE, iMAR, and DoseMap. All patient data must remain under government control, with hard drives removed and destroyed by VA BioMed at the conclusion of use. Vendors not manufacturing the equipment must provide an authorized distributor letter and comply with the SBA Nonmanufacturer Rule, including affirmation that the end product is U.S.-made and supplied by a U.S. small business manufacturer. The Buy American Statute applies, requiring compliance with FAR clauses 52.225-1 and 52.225-2 for domestic content. The Government may issue a formal solicitation after reviewing responses, which will be posted on GSA eBuy and limited to vendors with existing GSA Schedule contracts. All submissions must be sent via email to the designated Contract Specialist by June 18, 2026, and responses are not offers nor binding on the government. No pricing is required at this stage, but any proprietary information must be clearly marked.
