6525--GE Healthcare LOGIQ E R9 Ultrasound System

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 is seeking to procure a GE Healthcare LOGIQ E R9 Ultrasound System and accessories for the West Haven VA Medical Center in Connecticut. The procurement includes one LOGIQ E Standard Package, two linear array probes (L4-12t-RS and L8-18i-RS), one LOGIQ E Cart, and one LOGIQe R9 Cart 3PP Box kit. This acquisition is intended to replace aging ultrasound equipment and maintain standardization across medical specialties including Rheumatology, Podiatry, Orthopedics, and ENT. The procurement will be conducted under streamlined procedures using FAR 12.6 and FAR 13.106-1, with solicitation limited exclusively to authorized distributors of GE Healthcare due to the specialized nature of the equipment. Questions must be submitted to Contract Specialist Kim McCarthy within five business days of the August 29, 2025 posting date, with responses due by September 5, 2025.

This opportunity is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 334510 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Market research identified two authorized SDVOSB channel partners for GE Healthcare: Trillamed and Frontline Healthcare, both of which are potential bidders for this procurement. While the specific contract value is redacted in the documentation, the justification indicates the award will exceed the micro-purchase threshold but remain under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000. The anticipated performance period spans from September 30, 2025, through January 30, 2026, providing a four-month window for delivery and installation. Due to the exclusive nature of the procurement through authorized distributors only, no solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov, and all prospective contractors must maintain current registration in the System for Award Management.
