W065--Urgent requirement for an Interim Mobile PET/CT with a 16-slice CT Scanner System. Two (2)-Month Lease, starting June 1, 2025, and one (1)-Month Option Lease if needed. Unrestricted

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is seeking an urgent two-month lease for an Interim Mobile PET/CT Scanner System with a 16-slice CT for the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center. The solicitation (36C24425Q0667) specifically requires either a General Electric Discovery PET/CT system or a Siemens Biograph mCT20 PET/CT System, accompanied by Medrad Injectors, to be located on-site in a medical coach. Vendors must submit quotes by May 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM EDT, with the contract award based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. The mobile unit must meet specific technical requirements, including capabilities for oncology and brain imaging, DICOM file format compatibility, and an image analysis station. Vendors must also comply with FDA, safety, and technical specifications, and provide three days of applications training.

The contract is an unrestricted requirement under NAICS code 621512 with a size standard of $19 million, with no specific set-aside designations. The lease period is from June 1, 2025, through July 31, 2025, with an optional one-month extension through August 31, 2025. The VA will provide staffing and patient scheduling, while the contractor is responsible for equipment maintenance, transportation, and setup. This procurement follows a previous failed contract where two non-functional scanners were provided, resulting in the medical center being without PET/CT services since January 2025. The contract will be performed at the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center in Pennsylvania, with the mobile unit positioned on-site in a medical coach to ensure continuous diagnostic imaging capabilities for veterans.
