Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C25622D0064

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 awarded an indefinite delivery contract vehicle to Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation to provide preventive maintenance and repair services for magnetic resonance imaging equipment. Against this contract, two firm fixed price delivery orders were subsequently issued totaling $206,000 to maintain a Hitachi MRI system located at the Veterans Healthcare System of the Ozarks medical center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The initial delivery order valued at $103,000 covers services from July 2022 through July 2024, while the second order valued at $102,999.96 extends maintenance from July 2023 through July 2023. Both aim to ensure continued operational readiness of the critical medical device through planned repairs and software upgrades delivered by the prime contractor, a subsidiary of the original equipment manufacturer. The contract and associated delivery orders support the agency's healthcare programs by maintaining diagnostic radiology capabilities at this facility serving veterans.

The originating special notice indicated the Department of Veterans Affairs' intent to negotiate solely with Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation as the only vendor able to provide all required maintenance and repair work for this specific Hitachi MRI system. Market research demonstrated this was the case due to the company's position as the designated service provider and parts supplier for this equipment. No set-asides were applied given the sole source nature of the procurement. The stated purpose was to continue servicing diagnostic medical imaging capabilities for veterans served by the specified VA medical center through qualified maintenance of this specialized device by the OEM's approved contractor.
