W065--West Haven Siemens Horizon PET/CT Lease

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 1, West Haven VA Medical Center, seeks a sole-source justification to continue leasing a Siemens Horizon PET/CT system from RAYUS Radiology. This firm-fixed logical follow-on contract, ID 36C241-26-AP-0148, is necessary because of construction delays, extending the need for the mobile unit by five months, from October 2025 to March 2026. The existing unit is compatible with current hardware and software, minimizing staff training and ensuring continuity of care. Market research confirms that RAYUS Radiology is the only viable source due to the proprietary nature of the lease, the unit being already onsite, and the risks of delays and increased costs with a new vendor. This approach ensures uninterrupted, high-quality PET/CT imaging services, enhancing patient care and safety at the West Haven VAMC.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 1, intends to award a sole source contract to RAYUS Radiology for the continued lease of a Siemens Horizon PET/CT system. This is a firm-fixed, logical follow-on to an existing contract, necessitated by an extension of the West Haven VA Medical Center's PET-CT construction project. The mobile unit will remain on-site at the West Haven VA Medical Center from October 2, 2025, to March 1, 2026. The government believes RAYUS Radiology is the only source capable of meeting this requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, but interested parties can submit evidence of their capabilities by September 30, 2025, to Contract Specialist Divianna Mathurin.
