X1DB--MRI Trailer Lease (VA-20-00035508)

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE:

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 2, intends to award a sole source award contract to Insight Health Corp., 26250 Enterprise Ct Ste 100, Lake Forest, CA 92630 for a rental MRI trailer effective July 16, 2021, for VA New York Harbor Healthcare System (Brooklyn Campus), which is a follow on to a previous one-year contract for same services.

The former VA Brooklyn MRI is closed due to a malfunctioning cold head compressor, chiller and other components. Brooklyn MRI was twenty-three years old and was no longer being supported by a service contract due to it being end of life . The VA Brooklyn Campus is requesting a firm-fixed price procurement effective July 16, 2021 through December 31, 2021, of an MRI trailer rental so that its patients can maintain access to these services while the new Brooklyn MRI suite is built without them having to go to other campuses for MRI service.  Current MRI trailer services are provided by Insight Health Corp. The installation of this unit at the medical center required extensive utility and walk-way connectivity to the main hospital building. The current unit is built-into the side of the hospital ground floor and runs off the hospital s infrastructure. Removal of the unit will require a decommissioning process as well as construction to restore the integrity of the medical center s exterior/interior and utility tie-ins. Decommissioning, demolition, commissioning of a new unit and new construction will require the Government to incur an additional expense for this service as well as additional time for the service.

NAICS: 621512; Size Standard: $15 million.
