The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Acquisition Center awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Universal Consultants Incorporated, a veteran-owned small business, to provide high-tech medical equipment inspection services at VA healthcare facilities nationwide. The single-award IDIQ contract, valued at up to $29,197,951.76 over a 5-year period, serves as the primary vehicle through which Universal Consultants dispatches qualified medical physicists to inspect and validate newly installed diagnostic imaging systems, such as X-ray, MRI, CT, and PET/CT scanners, before they are used for patient care. The contract, which was set aside for veteran-owned small businesses, requires Universal Consultants to complete inspections within 30 days of each delivery order being issued by the VA National Acquisition Center. The contracted services aim to ensure the operational readiness of the VA's critical medical equipment infrastructure used in treating America's veterans. Under this IDIQ contract, the VA National Acquisition Center has issued multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Universal Consultants for the inspection of specific imaging systems, such as a Canon XR-CT scanner in San Antonio, Texas and a Siemens NM-SPECT/CT system in West Palm Beach, Florida. The delivery orders, valued between $2,860.60 and $5,513.62, are placed against the larger IDIQ contract and do not utilize any additional set-aside designations. The work is primarily performed at Universal Consultants' facility in North Ridgeville, Ohio.
