Phase One XF IQ4 Camera System (BRAND NAME OR EQUAL)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 is conducting market research to procure a Phase One XF IQ4 Camera System or equivalent for clinical dermatology photography at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital. The camera system must feature a medium format digital sensor with at least 140 megapixels, capable of capturing a full face in a single image with high-resolution capabilities. Specific technical requirements include 16-bit RAW image capture, 12 stops of dynamic range, and the ability to support in-body focus stacking and studio flash synchronization. Interested vendors are required to submit a capability statement with company information, SAM CAGE code, socioeconomic status, and current federal contract vehicles by April 22, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST via email to LeTray Womble. The procurement will follow the Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing NAICS code 334310, with a small business size standard of 750 employees.

The opportunity is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Sole Source procurement, indicating potential restrictions on competitive bidding. While specific award values are not detailed in the sources sought notice, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the camera system suggest a potentially significant investment for clinical imaging technology. The market research is part of a preliminary investigation to understand vendor capabilities and potential solutions for detailed visual assessment and algorithmic analysis of facial skin lesions. The sources sought notice emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation but a preparatory step aligned with Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-03, effective January 17, 2025. Vendors are encouraged to demonstrate how their proposed systems meet the precise technical specifications for clinical dermatology photography, with a focus on image quality, resolution, and diagnostic utility.
