Brand name or equal: point of care ultrasound system

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking to procure a point of care ultrasound system for the Philadelphia VA Medical Center, specifically for the Parkinson's Disease Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (PADRECC). The solicitation references the Fujifilm Sonosite PX as a brand name reference and requires a system with advanced imaging capabilities, including multiple imaging modes like B Mode, M Mode, and Color Doppler. The ultrasound system must meet specific technical requirements, including portability, cybersecurity standards, and compatibility with various transducer types. Vendors must submit complete documentation by 4:30 PM EST on 4/25/2025, with quotes to be emailed to joanne.skaff@va.gov, and failure to provide all required documentation will result in immediate disqualification. The government will evaluate offers based on features, warranty, delivery, and price, with the intent to award a firm-fixed-price contract.

The solicitation is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 334519, with a size standard of 600 employees. The procurement is for a single ultrasound system with a manufacturer part number of L25100, classified under Product Service Code 6525 for medical imaging equipment. The system will be delivered to the PADRECC/Neurology 4th Floor West in Philadelphia, PA during normal business hours, with the contractor required to provide installation tools, a detailed installation manual, 4 hours of in-person product training, comprehensive user manuals, and a minimum one-year warranty on parts and labor. The specific transducer required is an L15-4 MHz Linear type with a scan depth of 1.5-6cm. Deliveries must be coordinated in advance, with the VA-issued purchase order number included on the packing slip, and all items must be delivered simultaneously in original sealed containers.
