Description of Supplies/Services:



The Department of Veterans Affairs, Seattle VA Medical Center, requires services, non - personal, to provide technical support and maintenance services for the Cardius X-ACT diagnostic nuclear cardiac imaging system used for myocardial perfusion imaging studies.

The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively IAW FAR 6.302-1, to DIGIRAD Corporation, because this vendor is the manufacturer of the product. Accordingly, DIGIRAD Corporation is the only firm capable of providing the supplies and services described above, because they are the manufacturer of the software and the hardware for the machine, which gives them the ability to provide telephone support, perform software updates, and correct, repair or replace defective parts in a timely manner.

DIGIRAD will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the customer with technical support and maintenance services for the equipment. Included in the services, at no additional labor cost, will be preventative, on-site maintenance, inspection and servicing of the equipment, preventative maintenance two (2) times per year, telephone support, software updates, and correction, repair or replacement of defective parts for the camera, equipment and software.

Other interested concerns having the ability to furnish these services/supplies shall submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist. This is NOT an RFQ. This does represent the Government's only written notice of this procurement. All responsible sources may submit a response, which, if timely received, must be considered by the agency.

The estimated/potential $107,000.00
