Refurbished 3D Mammography Imaging System with Installation, Certification, and Radiography Instruction Support

Randolph Community College is seeking bids for a refurbished 3D mammography imaging system to support its Radiography program, specifically requiring a system equivalent to a Hologic Selenia Dimensions platform manufactured in 2014 or newer. The procurement involves furnishing, delivering, installing, and certifying a complete imaging system with digital breast tomosynthesis, full-field digital mammography, C-View technology, and Computer-Aided Detection capabilities. The system must fully integrate with the College's IQ-View PACS environment and include comprehensive accessories such as compression paddles, magnification stands, quality-control phantoms, clinical display monitors, acquisition workstations, and an uninterruptible power supply. Vendors must provide certified installation, radiation safety validation, and a minimum 12-month warranty with a 48-72 hour on-site service response. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for December 11, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time at the Robert S. Shackleford Allied Health Center in Asheboro, North Carolina, and written questions must be submitted by December 18, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Sealed offers are due January 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with delivery and installation to be completed within ninety consecutive calendar days after receiving the purchase order.

The solicitation encourages participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses and requires vendors to meet specific qualifications, including a minimum of three years of documented experience with mammography or radiographic imaging systems. Vendors must have OEM-trained and certified installers, certified service technicians, and provide three references for similar installations completed within the past five years. The procurement is subject to a 1.75% transaction fee through the Statewide E-Procurement Service. Vendors must submit five mandatory attachments (A-E) documenting refurbishment certification, installer credentials, service provider details, system equivalency, and manufacturing date verification. While no specific award value is mentioned, the College anticipates a functional equipment lifespan of seven to twelve years with a minimum of five years of full instructional use. The contract will be awarded to one vendor based on a best value analysis, with the existing infrastructure requiring integration with the current IQ-View PACS system and adherence to specific radiation safety requirements and Diagnostic Physics Incorporated shielding plans.
