J065--36C25222P0833-NEW BASE+3 PM Canon Aquilion One CT Service Contract 695C20426

This Special Notice announces the Department of Veterans Affairs' intent to sole-source preventative maintenance and emergency repair services for a Toshiba/Canon Aquilion One Genesis 640 CT unit located at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois. The services will be awarded non-competitively to Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc.

The Special Notice seeks to justify the sole-source award to Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. on the basis that Aquilion One Genesis machines are proprietary to Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc., requiring technician training, parts, and software also proprietary to Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. Interested parties are invited to submit a capability statement by August 15, 2022 to be considered for conducting a competitive procurement, however the Notice strongly implies the work will be awarded non-competitively to Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and support services required. No other eligibility criteria or requirements are specified for interested contractors to participate.
