All responsible sources are invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by the March 23, 2026 deadline at 3:00 PM Central Time, which represents a seven-day response period from publication. There are no specific eligibility restrictions, and any organization can submit a response to challenge the sole source justification or demonstrate competitive alternatives. If no affirmative written response is received within the seven-day window, the government will proceed with issuing the contract or order to IRadimed Corporation without further notice. The contracting office is located in San Antonio, Texas, with Contract Specialist Vance Farrell serving as the point of contact for inquiries regarding this procurement.
