- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs, Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, with Hologic, Inc. for an UltraFocus DXA Analysis System. Investigators at the Ralph H. Johnson VAMC, Research And Development Services are conducting ongoing research studies focusing on bone-related diseases (osteoporosis, osteopenia, fracture) as well as soft tissue-related diseases (obesity, diabetes, fibrosis), and require a high-resolution imaging and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry system for their shared small animal imaging core facility. The UltraFocus DXA System is the only known system that provides ultra-high resolution imaging (focal spot size to 8 micrometers), in concert with rapid, automated DXA analyses (whole research model or region of interest) with established, easy to use software that automatically generates bone mineral density, bone mineral content, and body composition readouts/maps. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement and who is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), authorized dealer, authorized distributor or authorized reseller of all the items listed above, may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than Wednesday, January 12, 2022, 3:00 PM, EST. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Shannon Hukriede at Shannon.Hukriede@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
