Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the National Acquisition Center (NAC) High Tech Orders, has issued a Solicitation (RFO #36A79726Q0004) for the DEC FY2025 Equipment Only Consolidation. This opportunity seeks to procure various X-Ray Equipment and Supplies (PSC 6525) for VA facilities across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs). Offers are due by April 8, 2026.
Scope of Work
This consolidation effort involves the procurement of a wide range of medical imaging equipment, including XR US, XR IR, XR CATH LAB, XR MRI, NM GAMMA CAMERA, XR CT, and other related X-ray equipment and supplies. The detailed schedule of line items specifies quantities and locations across 19 VISNs. The RFO requires new equipment that meets or exceeds technical and functional requirements, with specific documentation like pre-procurement assessment forms, product brochures, and FIPS 140-2 certification. VA Directive 6550 Appendix A outlines critical technical, security, and compliance requirements for network-connected medical devices.
Contract Details
This is a Solicitation (RFO) issued under FAR 16.505 for ordering against existing contracts. Eligibility is restricted to companies currently holding contracts for the specified equipment types with either the VA National Acquisition Center (NAC) or the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA-TS) where the VA NAC has ordering authority.

Offers must be submitted via uploaded ZIP files to "Box" following specific naming conventions and folder structures; no other submission methods will be accepted. The government intends to award orders without discussions, so initial offers should represent the best terms.
