PET/SPECT/CT/OPTICAL MOLECULAR IMAGING SYSTEM Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans’ Hospital 800 Hospital Drive Columbia, Missouri

The Veterans Administration, Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital, Research and Development Group in Columbia, Missouri, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with MILabs B.V. for a single integrated PET-SPECT system which includes PET/SPECT/CT/Optical imaging, optimized for rodent research. This system will be utilized to provide imaging support to the new Open Field Blast Core (OFBC) facility as well as supporting current and proposed VA Merit and NIH funded research. The Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital requires the MILabs VECTor6CTUHROI system with its capability of providing four imaging technologies in a single integrated system, as well as the salient features noted below. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than Tuesday, May 21, 2019, 4:00 PM EST. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Elaine DiBucci at elaine.dibucci@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
