The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 awarded a $8,750 firm fixed price purchase order to Canon Medical Systems Usa, Inc. for preventive maintenance and repairs of the agency's Canon Ultrasound Transducer equipment. The sole source award was negotiated in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 as the ultrasound transducers have a proprietary design and another firm would not be familiar enough with the equipment to accurately address requests for information or properly maintain the critical devices. Performance will take place at the VA medical center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. No set-aside was used for this procurement to maintain the Canon ultrasound equipment.
