This Sources Sought Notice/Request for Information (RFI) from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) seeks information on potential sources capable of providing brand-name or equal CD burners for the Phoenix VA Health Care System. The VA intends to replace three existing CD burners and add three new ones for recording patient medical records. The required product is a DMC-EZ 250 DICOM system with a software upgrade to version 3.X and a Site Software License, or an equivalent product meeting specified salient characteristics. Responding companies should demonstrate their capability to meet these requirements, provide business size status (NAICS 334310), indicate if they are manufacturers or authorized distributors, and address various other aspects such as lead time, FDA clearance, leasing options, and federal contract information. This RFI is for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation.

Software must be capable of importing images via DICOM from VISTA Imaging and AGFA PACS, compressing images for CDs/DVDs, simultaneously burning at least three disks, printing disk labels, and utilizing the existing DMC-EZ System Site Software License for three CD burners.

The government file outlines a Statement of Work for replacing and purchasing six RIMAGE CD burners for the Phoenix VA Medical Center, Veteran Resource Center, Record of Information Office, and Phoenix 32nd Street VA Clinic. These burners are essential for creating disks with patient images for Community Care and ROI requests, improving efficiency, and increasing CD volume for Veteran care. The new equipment must meet specific salient characteristics, including Windows 11 OS, Intel i7 or better processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 19-24” monitor, PIV card reader keyboard, mouse, CD burner, and disk label printer.
