Central Texas (CTX) VA Mobile PET/CT Temple Lease

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 has published a Special Notice regarding the leasing of a mobile PET/CT unit for the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System. This notice is an amendment (Amendment 0002) to Combined Synopsis number 36C25726Q0039 and contains responses to 48 vendor questions submitted during the initial solicitation period. The opportunity is specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The solicitation seeks a transportable, stationary PET/CT trailer for initial placement at the Temple VA facility with potential future relocation to the Austin facility. The deadline for submission is December 1, 2025, and the notice provides comprehensive clarification on technical specifications, site logistics, and contract terms.

The VA seeks a turnkey, self-contained mobile PET/CT trailer capable of serving an expected annual patient volume of 1,300 patients. The lease will be structured as a 12-month base year with five option years, with the vendor responsible for maintenance, installation, backup power systems, and all equipment licensing requirements. The trailer must include two patient injection rooms, integrated restroom facilities, a 485-lb rated patient table, and backup power capabilities, as the VA will not provide site preparation or backup power support. To participate, contractors must be certified as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and meet the technical requirements outlined in the combined synopsis. The unit must remain at the Temple location for a minimum of two years before potential relocation, and vendors will submit pricing on a monthly basis with full responsibility for equipment transportation and operational readiness at the designated site.
