This document is a "Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition" for brand-name Hologic Imaging devices within the Great Plains Service Area. It seeks comprehensive service and support for existing Hologic Selenia Mammography Imaging Systems, including associated workstations, located in various Radiology Departments. The justification states that Hologic Imaging Systems are sophisticated medical devices requiring OEM-set Preventive Maintenance and that services must be conducted by OEM-certified, authorized entities, or the OEM directly. The rationale for this sole-source procurement is that the "Brand Name is essential to the Government's needs" and that the items are "peculiar to one manufacturer" because other products cannot meet the agency's requirements. Failure to comply with OEM guidelines could result in accreditation failures, equipment damage, and patient harm. The anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable due to available FSS contracts.
This Request for Proposal (RFP) from the Great Plains Area Indian Health Service seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive, firm-fixed-price maintenance and support for Hologic Imaging equipment across multiple facilities in South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska. The contract includes a base year and four one-year option periods, covering calibration, preventive maintenance, and unscheduled repairs with new OEM-certified parts. Key requirements include adherence to OEM schedules and accreditation standards (CMS, TJC, DNV-GL), submission of service schedules, and specific documentation for all services. The selection will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedure, evaluating technical factors such as qualifications, company management, capacity, and past performance. Invoicing will be done electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). The document also outlines exclusions, liability, warranty, and strict confidentiality clauses regarding patient and network information.
