The contractor will provide the required parts and labor. This is not a solicitation, but rather a pre-solicitation notice of intent to award a sole source contract. • The M7 Compact MRI System will be installed at VAMC Providence, RI. • Scintica Inc. is the exclusive and only authorized distributor of the M7 Compact MRI System. • The contractor will provide the required parts and labor for the installation. • The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1, which allows for sole source contracts when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.
