USNS COMFORT Angio Suite Repair

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting quotes for repair services on the Angio Suite (Innova 4100 radiographic/fluoroscopic system) aboard the USNS COMFORT (T-AH 20). This sole-source procurement will result in a firm-fixed price purchase order for specialized repair work classified under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J065 (Medical Equipment Maintenance and Repair). The solicitation requires vendors to submit detailed price quotes, technical submissions, delivery estimates, and product origin information, with evaluation based on technical capability and price. Key requirements include completing Navy Installation Access forms, providing vendor personnel access lists, and preparing for potential base and ship access, along with duty-free entry documentation through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE). The deadline for quote submission was November 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT, with responses to be submitted via email to Colin J. Edick.

This procurement is not set aside for small businesses, with GE Precision Healthcare (specifically GE Healthcare) identified as the sole-source contractor due to their status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer with exclusive proprietary access to technical specifications, diagnostic tools, and repair methodologies. The Navy justifies the sole-source approach based on GE Healthcare's exclusive training and certification of technicians, combined with the government's inability to timely review non-OEM technician qualifications for this mission-critical medical imaging equipment. The repair work is scheduled to be performed in Norfolk, Virginia, with the performance period revised to November 10-18, 2025, though earlier references indicate a target completion date of September 8-12, 2025. The scope of work includes conducting system assessment, removing and securing monitor arms, replacing cables and monitors, repairing the cooling pump using a Coolix 4000 Pump kit, performing safety inspections and functional tests, and submitting a detailed electronic PDF report documenting all repairs and testing outcomes. Specific personnel identified for this work include GE Healthcare field service technician Michael Mish (414-405-3623) and procurement contact Colin J. Edick.
