Questions and answers…..

On page 5 of the solicitation, it states the “the Contractor shall provide a qualified Diagnostic Medical Physicist with American Board of Radiology (ABR) Certification to execute performance testing services on imaging equipment listed in Section D.1.” However, the imaging equipment includes both diagnostic x-ray and nuclear medicine imaging systems. ABR certification as a Diagnostic Medical Physicist does not qualify a physicist to test Nuclear Medicine imaging systems. The ABR certifies physicists in Diagnostic Medical Physics and Nuclear Medical Physics. A physicist certified in Diagnostic Medical Physics is not certified in Nuclear Medical Physics.– We must have ABR certified DMP for Medical Physics and Nuclear Medical Physics for both the X-Ray and Nuc Med equipment.

In addition, B.2 (the Price/Cost Schedules) only lists the diagnostic x-ray equipment. The nuclear medicine equipment listed in Section D.1 is not listed. -All equipment is listed on the attachment titled “Equipment List 2021”. If you cannot open the attachment, please try using another browser such as Microsoft Edge. If you are still unable to open the attachments, please email me at marylu.gilbert@va.gov and I will send the attachments separately. Nuclear Medicine equipment has also been added through amendment on page 1, block 14, 1.b.

In addition, B.2 includes “participation in on-site review (6 meetings per year) annually/scanner. The annually/scanner, should the solicitation have just read “annually”? – Yes. This should read annually and not per scanner.
