Statement of Work - Hologic 3D Quorum Imaging Workstation - RFI 36C26226Q0373.pdf

STATEMENT OF WORK (DRAFT)

Statement of Work is tentative and subject to change based on responses received for the RFI.

1. GENERAL SCOPE

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has a requirement to add Hologic 3D Quorum Imaging Technology system OR EQUAL to the current Hologic 3D Mammography unit to produce highest 3D resolution images in the fastest time possible. This upgrade will be installed in Mammography suite in Bldg. 126, Room E126.

2. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

The contractor shall provide and be responsible for the technical assistance, development, and generation for final specifications.

Deliver by 60 Calendar Days after Receipt of Order (ARO).

Duty hours will be 8am – 12pm. The Government recognized US holidays are: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. If the holiday falls on Sunday, it is observed on Monday.

3. PRODUCT/SERIVCE INFO

The use of breast tomosynthesis in breast imaging has demonstrated an improvement in cancer detection and a reduction in false positives compared to digital mammography.

Challenges with the routine use of breast tomosynthesis has been the increase in the number of images that need to be reviewed by radiologists which increased the average interpretation time. 2/3 less images to read which yield in saving 1 hour of interpretation time per day. This can increase workload. Hologic 3DQuorum project OR EQUAL one 6-mm thick slices 3D image by combining (6) 1mm images into one image. This image has 70-micron pixel resolution and utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning. In return, the radiologist will read and interpret less images which results a faster average interpretation time. Hologic 3D Quorum OR EQUAL will also reduce the file size, which reduces required space, for PACS storage and reduces high network bandwidth requirements.

4. OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION

4.1 Submit an authorization letter or other document(s) from Original Equipment Manufacturer dated within 90 calendar days stating you are an Authorized Dealer, Authorized Distributor or Authorized Reseller for the proposed equipment/system.

5. SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS

5.1. Must be fully compatible with our current Hologic 3 Dimension Mammography unit.

5.2. Must have latest IT and security patches

5.3. Must be able to reconstruct high resolution 3D data to produce overlap slices to 1 image.

5.4. Must be able to reduce file size to 50% or less to make it easier to store in PACS and faster file transfer.

5.5. Must be able to identify clinically relevant and to preserve regions of interest during reconstruction process.

5.6. Maintains a minimum of 70-micron pixel resolution on the reconstructed images.
