Intent to Sole Source: Mozart 3-D Specimen Tomosynthesis System

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to execute a Sole Source Contract for a Mozart 3-D Specimen Tomosynthesis System from KUB Technologies. The system utilizes 3D specimen tomosynthesis to take X-ray images of breast specimens, allowing for accurate and precise identification of tumors and clips. The contract is expected to be a one-time, firm fixed price contract not to exceed a period of 12 months. • The system is used for X-rays of breast specimens after localization lumpectomies or excisions. • The system uses 3D specimen tomosynthesis, the gold standard for diagnostic mammography. • The system enables surgeons and radiologists to accurately identify positive or close margins intraoperatively. • The system has been shown to decrease re-excisions by 50%, while preserving healthy tissue for breast cosmesis.
