The capabilities of the Modus X include advanced features such as 3D zoom range, 4K cameras, and voice-controlled optics, ensuring enhanced operational efficiency.

The contract is classified under simplified procedures due to its expected costs under the SAT threshold, and the justification emphasizes that this is a bona fide need of the agency, highlighting both the urgency and necessity for maintaining high standards in surgical environments. The procurement will ensure the Portland VA Medical Center maintains the highest quality of care and operational capability.
