6525--SEP 2026 Equipment Only Consolidation

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Acquisition Center is soliciting offers for its September 2026 Equipment Only Consolidation of medical imaging and diagnostic equipment, with questions due December 2, 2026 and offers due February 3, 2027 at 11:59 PM CST. Competition is limited to current High Tech Medical Equipment (HTME) contract holders with active contracts at both offer submission and award, and responses from vendors without current contracts will be rejected. The notice's Set Aside field reads "No Set-Aside Used," but the contract-holder restriction governs eligibility. The notice's due-date field shows February 4, 2027, while the RFO and SF 1449 specify February 3, 2027.

Only items currently awarded on HTME contracts are eligible. Proposed additions not yet implemented by contract modification, "Future Items" in development or prototype stages, and items outside the requirements scope are excluded. Delivery orders are issued under FAR 16.505 against existing vehicles. Requirements cover X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, radiotherapy linear accelerators, nuclear medicine (bone densitometry and SPECT), interventional radiology, fluoroscopy, mammography, and catheterization lab systems, with one to fourteen units per line item. Facilities are distributed across 23 VISNs and span all U.S. regions and Puerto Rico, with concentrations in Florida, California, Texas, New York, and Ohio. Procurement is by NAC on behalf of VA customers, which receive offers and submit technical evaluations.

Offers require product-level pricing, compliance matrices against technical specifications, trade-in values shown separately, and multi-unit discounts by modality based on total consolidation awards. Required documentation includes pre-procurement assessments (Appendix A questionnaire), product brochures, FIPS 140-2 certifications, MDS2 forms, operating system support plans for unsupported systems, and biomedical training information. Submissions go through Box in the specified folder structure, with a timestamped vendor response email to Teresa.rogofsky@va.gov by the closing deadline. Email, CD-ROM, paper, and fax submissions are not accepted, and files may not be modified after email submission.

Award is made on best value using two non-price factors, Availability of Required Features and Availability of Service, each rated Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable. All non-price factors combined are significantly more important than price. Quoted prices must remain valid for a minimum of 180 days. The goal to award delivery orders is June 8, 2027. Customer offer distribution (February 10, 2027), technical evaluation submission (March 3, 2027), and CO workload assignment (March 10, 2027) are estimates subject to change. Questions must use the provided QA template, and responses will be published by amendment on January 6, 2027. The contracting officer is Teresa Rogofsky. The NAICS code is 334517 and the PSC is 6525.
