The task order covers a base period plus four option years running from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2031. Equipment includes Intevo Bold SPECT/CT, Magnetom Area Mobile MRI, Stellant Flex Contrast Injectors, and Symbia Pro.specta X3 SPECT/CT systems at Malcolm Randall VAMC in Gainesville, Florida and VAMC Lake City, Florida. The VA justifies the sole-source award under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B) on the basis that Siemens is the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive authorized access to proprietary software, diagnostic tools, service passwords, and OEM-certified parts. The VA asserts that only Siemens-trained service engineers can perform these services and that non-OEM providers risk equipment damage, safety issues, or additional costs.

Services include preventive maintenance per manufacturer specifications, emergency on-call repairs with two-hour response time, overnight parts delivery, loaner equipment at no additional cost, and comprehensive service documentation within two business days. The VA guarantees 98–99 percent system uptime and 30-minute phone response time.

Interested parties may submit clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by emailing Contracting Officer Heidi Parrish at heidi.parrish@va.gov no later than August 31, 2026 at 4:30 PM ET. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes.
