Notice text
THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY This is a Sources Sought Notice only and it is not a solicitation announcement. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of qualified, potential contractors and their socio-economic size classification in accordance with NAICS code 334510. Responses will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. After a review of the responses to this Sources Sought Notice, a solicitation announcement may be posted. A response to this Sources Sought Notice is not an adequate reply to a potentially forthcoming solicitation.
The US Fish and Wildlife is seeking a Computed Tomography (CT) Scanner which is similar to (brand name or equal): Canon Aquilion Lightning, Patterson NewTom, Epica Vimago, Seimans Somatom Go.up.
The CT scanner will be used in the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory by both the Morphology and Pathology sections. Radiology (as provided by this machine) is a postmortem examination component required by both in-house technical procedures and American Standards Board (ASB) guidelines. The CT machine provides both standard, x-ray type scout views and greater detail and functionality with 3D imaging. Besides providing documentation of injuries prior to prosection, X-ray and CT imaging is essential for identification and retrieval of ballistics fragments, reconstruction of injuries, and is an integral part of cause of death determinations. The scanner will be used to delineate and document the internal structure of animals and crafted items prior to destructive analysis, such as necropsy examination. For some questions of species ID, the use of the CT scanner may provide enough internal detail and information that destructive morphological analysis could be deemed unnecessary.
If your firm is able to provide the requested Computed Tomography (CT) Scanner and training, please indicate if you are a reseller or manufacturer and submit your interest to Robert_Sung@fws.gov by 12/15/23.
Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond.
