About this file
This is a Schedule of Line Items and Questions & Answers document for the VA's December 2025 Equipment Only Consolidation procurement (Solicitation 36A79726Q0004). The document consolidates 32 medical imaging and diagnostic equipment line items across 13 VA Integrated Service Networks, including X-ray systems, ultrasound equipment, MRI systems, CT scanners, interventional radiology devices, catheterization laboratory equipment, and nuclear medicine gamma cameras. Equipment quantities range from single units to seven units per line item, distributed across VA medical facilities nationwide from West Roxbury, Massachusetts to Temple, Texas. Eligible offerors must be current contract holders with the VA National Acquisition Center High Tech Medical Equipment Branch or Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support with active contracts at both offer submission and award; new product additions not previously implemented are prohibited.
The Questions & Answers section addresses technical clarifications for specific line items, including detailed specifications adjustments. For VISN 1's West Roxbury ultrasound system (523B51012), minimum monitor size was updated to 19 inches, image storage increased to 500GB, 4D capability removed from requirements, and image fusion capability (rather than requirement) added to the value-added section for MRI-ultrasound correlation. For VISN 10's ultrasound systems across Ohio facilities, clarifications confirmed self-paced training only, identified traded-in transducers (Boston Scientific EDGE model and Mindray TE7 systems), confirmed purchase quantities, and added endovaginal and wideband 15 MHz linear probe specifications. Vendor question submission deadline is February 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM CST, with offer submission required by April 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM CST and goal award date of August 11, 2026. Evaluation methodology employs best-value with equally weighted non-price factors for availability of required features and service availability, combined with price analysis for award determination.
