They hold proprietary rights over their equipment and software and do not train or authorize other vendors for maintenance or validation. Market research, including a Notice of Intent posted on SAM.gov (Dec 5-10, 2025), confirmed HOLOGIC, INC. as the only capable vendor, with one other source unable to meet the requirement.
