Puget Sound VAHCS Total Body Imaging (TBI) Rotating Table

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA VHA) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for a Total Body Imaging (TBI) Rotating Table to be used at the Puget Sound VA Healthcare System. The procurement seeks a specialized medical equipment item - specifically an Equilibrium Standard Rotation Overlay System with Wall Mount - that is compatible with an existing Varian TrueBeam treatment table. The notice is designed to assess market capabilities and identify potential qualified vendors, including Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), and other small business manufacturers. Key requirements include a 2.1m length table with variable width/thickness, portability between TrueBeam Linear Accelerators, and the ability to rotate 180 degrees to accommodate patient positioning for Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) Total Body Imaging treatments. The deadline for submitting capability statements is February 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM PST, with responses serving as market research to determine future contracting strategies.

The procurement is classified under NAICS category 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with an 800-employee size standard and will be an unrestricted, open market opportunity. No specific set-aside has been predetermined, though the VA is specifically interested in responses from small businesses and veteran-owned businesses. The intended contract will be a firm-fixed price supply purchase, and the SBA Non-Manufacturer Rule will be applicable without seeking a waiver. The solicitation is subject to Buy American requirements and is purely for market research and planning purposes, with no guarantee of contract award. Vendors are not guaranteed notification of evaluation results, and the government will not compensate businesses for providing information in response to this sources sought notice.
