About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 10, issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award on March 5, 2026, for the procurement of Fujifilm Synapse v7 Cardiovascular PACS Software licensing and related services at the VA Ann Arbor Health Care System. The solicitation number is 36C25026Q0355, and the contracting activity is located at 24 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is a firm fixed price contract being pursued under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 12.102 authority. The procurement seeks to upgrade the existing Fujifilm Synapse Cardiovascular PACS system from version 6 to version 7 to enable cardiology providers to review, access, and utilize cardiology images and data for veteran patient diagnosis and care. The intended vendor is Fujifilm Healthcare of Americas Corporation, located in Lexington, Massachusetts.

The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to modernize the VA Ann Arbor Health Care System's cardiovascular imaging capabilities through a software upgrade that maintains system compatibility and operational continuity. The required deliverables include 20,000 Synapse Compute Licenses, specialized cardiology software licenses, and comprehensive professional services totaling 22 days of on-site and remote support, encompassing application training, optimization, implementation, server configuration, database consolidation, workflow conversion, and analytics services. Interested parties must submit clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government by March 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to either Laura Poma, Contract Specialist (laura.poma@va.gov, 734-845-3523), or Kellie Konopinski, Contracting Officer (Kellie.Konopinski@va.gov, 734-222-4330). The sole source justification is based on the proprietary nature of the Fujifilm software, the requirement for OEM-certified technicians and parts, existing system compatibility constraints, and the absence of competing vendors capable of supporting the currently owned Cardiovascular Suite, as determined through market research conducted using the SBA Small Business Search database.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, located at 24 Frank Lloyd Wright Dr., Lobby M, Suite M2200, Ann Arbor, MI, 48105 in support of VISN 10, VA Ann Arbor Health Care System at 2215 Fuller Rd. Ann Arbor, MI 48105 intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and the authority of the  Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO)12.102 soliciting from a single source for the following items listed below.  The associated NAICS code is 339112 and the associated Product or Service Code is 6515. The vendor will be Fujifilm Healthcare of Americas Corporation 81 Hartwell Avenue Suite 100 Lexington, MA 02421. 

The VA Ann Arbor Health Care System Healthcare Technology Management Service is requesting a Fujifilm Synapse Cardiovascular PACS system upgrade from version 6 to version 7. This application is needed for cardiology providers to review and access cardiology images and data for diagnosis for veteran care.

Many capabilities are required from the Cardiovascular PACS software. Fujifilm software is currently used at Ann Arbor VA. This Software is proprietary. Only Fujifilm (OEM) has all critical components for this upgrade. Therefore, the Fujifilm Synapse Cardiovascular PACS application can only be installed and serviced by the OEM due to the requirement of utilizing OEM certified parts and technicians. No other vendor can provide the specific upgrade content, compatibility, supervision, and support to hardware. Selecting any other brand would create inconsistency in the standard of care, reduced communication, reliability in function, and require new training. Which would not be advantageous to the government and would be cost prohibitive.

A firm fixed price contract is anticipated and shall be awarded. It is the Government's belief that only the proposed candidate possesses the required capabilities to successfully meet this requirement. It is the Government's intention to solicit and negotiate with only this source.
 

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. It is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available.

Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Many capabilities are required from the Cardiovascular PACS software. Fujifilm software is currently used at the Ann Arbor VA. This Software is proprietary. Only Fujifilm (OEM) has all critical components for this upgrade. Therefore, the Fujifilm Synapse Cardiovascular PACS application can only be installed and serviced by the OEM due to the requirement of utilizing OEM certified parts and technicians. No other vendor can provide the specific upgrade content, compatibility, supervision, and support to hardware. Selecting any other brand would create inconsistency in the standard of care, reduced communication, reliability in function, and require new training. Which would not be advantageous to the government and would be cost prohibitive.

Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Searched the Small Business Administration s Small Business Search (SBA SBS) database with NAICS Code 541519 along with SDVOSB/VOSBs requirements and 6,694 results were found. Searched SBA SBS with NAICS Code 541519 along with keyword Cardiovascular Software and found 6 results.

The OEM Fujifilm, is a large business, has the only Cardiovascular Software that can work with the currently owned Cardiovascular Suite; has a proprietary agreement, and does not have any authorized distributors. Product is not on NMR Class Waiver List. The VA and SBA Rules of Two cannot be met.
