About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 published a Special Notice to sole source an acquisition from Standard Imaging. The notice intends to replace two aging Standard Imaging electrometers paired with existing ionization chambers for radiation dose readings at the VA Iliana Healthcare System.
The Special Notice seeks to procure two replacement Standard Imaging electrometers and a virtual water phantom package from the manufacturer for a total of $35,724.60. The electrometers would replace equipment over 12 and 16 years old to maintain continuity of care, as other vendors' electrometers cannot interface with the existing ionization chambers. Interested parties must respond by February 15, 2024 via email if they have clear evidence competition would benefit the government. The notice is not a solicitation and the decision not to compete is at the agency's discretion.
