6515--Phillips X8-2t Transducers and Epiq 7 Upgrade Entitlements Text LTC Charles S. Kettles VA Medical Center (VAMC) Ann Arbor, MI

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the LTC Charles S. Kettles VA Medical Center, is seeking to procure a Philips X8-2t Transducer. This justification details the need for a single-source award due to the existing Philips EPIQ 7 Ultrasound Systems only being compatible with Philips-manufactured probes. The X8-2t transducer is essential for cardiac imaging, utilizing proprietary technology for high-resolution images. Market research indicated that while the item was no longer available via ECAT, it could be procured through at least two small businesses (one SDVOSB) acting as authorized federal resellers, ensuring warranty transfer. The contracting officer has certified this purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).
