This amendment to solicitation 36C26226Q0037 P00001, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, modifies the NAICS code from 333924 to 532490 and addresses several inquiries regarding a mobile imaging system. Key changes include accepting a 98% uptime guarantee instead of 100%, requiring a new item from an OEM authorized distributor, and confirming the need for a breast coil for imaging only. The 2-hour response time for service remains, despite OEM policies, to ensure faster resolution of issues. The project requires the system to be installed and operational by March 15, 2026, and a traditional 8x48 unit is not acceptable as an interim solution. Various cardiac exams will be performed, including specialized sequences for the entire heart.
