W065--Presolicitation Notice - Modification, Increase - Mobile MRI Lease

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, through its Network Contracting Office 17, is seeking to modify an existing contract for MRI technician services to be provided at the West Texas VA Health Care System located in Big Spring, Texas. The procurement requires two MRI technicians to be on-site at all times, representing a change from the original solicitation which only required two technicians to be available on standby. This modification will increase funding across the base period and all option periods of the existing contract. The presolicitation notice indicates this is a sole source procurement and therefore functions as a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation. The response deadline for any interested parties to provide written objections is December 23, 2025, which represents a 7-day window from the publication date of December 17, 2025; if no affirmative response is received by this deadline, the modification will proceed without further notice.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, limiting competition to qualified firms in this category. The current contractor of record is The Military Club, which holds contract 36C25725C0059 and is the intended recipient of this modification. While specific award values or contract amounts are not disclosed in the presolicitation notice, the modification will increase funding for MRI technician line item 0002 across all contract periods. The service falls under NAICS code 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) and PSC code W065 (Lease or Rental of Equipment—Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies). The modification directly addresses a change in operational requirements whereby the facility now mandates that both MRI technicians remain on-site simultaneously rather than on an as-needed availability basis.
