JNA MRI Injectors_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Brand Name Awards document submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs for a procurement under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(a) authority for purchases exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT).

The Salem VA Medical Center, through the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6, seeks to procure an MRXperion MR Injection System for the Radiology department. This syringe-based fluid delivery system is indicated for delivery of contrast media and saline during MR applications. The justification establishes that only the MRXperion system meets the facility's requirements due to unique compatibility needs with existing infrastructure, imaging processes, and clinical systems. The facility's radiology personnel are fully trained on MRXperion systems; procuring an alternate system would disrupt operations, require retraining, introduce compatibility concerns, and result in unnecessary costs. Market research was conducted through Contract Opportunities, SBA Dynamic, GSA Advantage, and Sam.gov, confirming that all required items are available on the open market through authorized distributors and resellers. The Contracting Officer intends to pursue this requirement as an Open Market SDVOSB set-aside. The justification was approved by Contracting Officer Jerry L. Mann on April 8, 2026, under Acquisition Plan Action ID 36C246-26-AP-2284.
