Seminole County Animal Services Digital X-Ray Machine

Seminole County is seeking to procure a comprehensive digital X-ray system for its Animal Services department through a competitive bid process (BID-604424-22/TKH). The procurement requires a sophisticated veterinary X-ray machine with specific technical specifications, including a 32kW generator, 4-way float table, VIVIX 17x17 tethered digital flat panel detector, and SEDECAL X-ray system. The equipment must include associated software and hardware, such as a Lenovo L-P340 computer with Intel i5-10500 6-core processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, and Vieworks VxVue Acquisition Software with small-animal protocols. Vendors are required to provide comprehensive installation, training, and a GOLD warranty package featuring 5-year manufacturer warranties on the flat panel DR plate and PCs/monitors, along with 1-year on-site labor warranty and remote IT/phone support. The bid responses are due on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with a virtual ZOOM meeting scheduled for bid opening. Potential vendors must submit proposals online through the specified procurement portal and submit any questions through the website's "Questions Tab" by 10:00 AM on Monday, August 15, 2022, with responses to be posted by Friday, August 19, 2022, at 4:00 PM.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) and provides specific contact information for the Senior Procurement Analyst, Tammy Hodgkins. Vendors are explicitly cautioned against contacting any Seminole County staff or officials other than the specified contact person. The bid allows for slightly used or refurbished units, provided they are clearly documented and meet all specified requirements. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including past performance references, detailed price submittals, and compliance forms such as conflict of interest statements, drug-free workplace certification, and e-verify compliance. The system requires 10 viewing licenses for clinic review station computers and must be DICOM 3.0 compatible with Ethernet connectivity. While no specific budget or funding source is detailed in the document, the procurement appears to be a standard competitive bidding procedure for specialized medical equipment for the county's animal services department. Shipping and delivery to Seminole County Animal Services are to be inclusive of the pricing, and the county will evaluate proposals based on the completeness of specifications, compliance with requirements, and overall value.
