Fayetteville Technical Community College is seeking to procure five Refurbished GE Logiq E9 R6 2.0 Ultrasound Units with XD Clear Imaging for its Medical Sonography Program through an Invitation for Bid (IFB #96-2501). The procurement is located in Cumberland County, North Carolina, and requires vendors to provide a comprehensive ultrasound system that includes a 22" OLED monitor, multiple operating modes for urology, abdominal, vascular, and OB/GYN applications, and three specific refurbished probes (Convex C1-6D, ML6-15D, and 9L-D Linear). Additionally, two IC5-9D Endovaginal Probes are required, with each unit necessitating white glove delivery service including uncrating and packaging removal, as well as virtual training for unit setup not exceeding two hours. The bid requires vendors to be directly authorized by manufacturers to distribute or resell products, with the manufacturer's standard warranty applying. Vendors must submit sealed, mailed responses and be registered in North Carolina's Electronic Vendor Portal (eVP). Key deadlines include questions due by January 10, 2025, and bids due on January 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, with delivery required within 60 consecutive calendar days after purchase order receipt.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract value falls between the Small Purchase threshold and $1,000,000.00, with award to be made to the lowest responsive bidder meeting all specifications. The equipment is specifically intended for educational purposes, to be used by faculty, staff, and students for demonstration and training in the Medical Sonography Program, with systems configured to connect with Fayetteville Technical Community College's PACS system for image storage and retrieval. Vendors must provide proof of authorization to distribute or resell products, and references must be from the bidding company itself. The procurement allows for functional equivalents to the specified GE Logiq E9 R6 model, providing some flexibility for potential vendors. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the bid emphasizes the need for compatible technology that can integrate with existing institutional systems. The total procurement includes five ultrasound units and two additional probes, with the primary objective of supporting educational training in medical imaging techniques.
