Interested contractors must submit responses by 9:00 AM Eastern Time on March 26, 2026, with supporting evidence demonstrating their ability to comply with the requirements. There are no specific eligibility restrictions beyond possessing relevant experience and expertise in CT scanner relocation and installation services; however, the government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the acquisition based on submitted responses. The estimated contract value is $19 million under NAICS Code 238390 (Other Building Finishing Contractors) and PSC Code N065 (Installation of Equipment—Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies).
