Quick Summary
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Rosebud Service Unit, intends to award a sole source contract to Northern X-Ray Company (NXC Imaging) for the urgent repair of a Canon Medical 32-slice CT Scanner at the Rosebud IHS Hospital, Rosebud, South Dakota. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency) due to the scanner's non-operational status, which poses a direct risk to patient health and safety by delaying critical diagnostic services. While this is not a request for competitive quotes, the Government will consider capability statements from sources that can immediately meet the urgent requirement. Capability statements are due within five (5) calendar days of the notice's publication (April 24, 2026).
Purpose and Urgency
The primary purpose is to restore the CT system to full operational status for clinical use, ensuring timely diagnostic imaging services, emergency care, and trauma evaluation for the patient population. The scanner's current non-operational state significantly impairs the facility's ability to provide essential healthcare, making immediate repair critical to avoid unacceptable interruptions and ensure continuity of care.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves diagnostic, repair, and calibration services for the Canon Medical Aquilion 32 CT scanner (Serial Number: KDA1282149). Specifically, the repair must address a malfunction occurring during angiography protocols with ROI/SureStart, which prevents scan execution. Tasks include:
- On-site diagnostic evaluation and troubleshooting.
- Identification of the root cause and execution of necessary repairs.
- System calibration, functional testing, and verification of ROI/SureStart functionality.
- Ensuring the system is safe and ready for clinical use.
