6525--MRI TRAILER RELOCATION & SET UP

This Special Notice of Intent (NOI) announces the Department of Veterans Affairs’ plan to sole‑source a contract for the relocation, set‑up, and return of a Mobile MRI trailer between the Oceanside Community‑Based Outpatient Clinic and the Jennifer Moreno Medical Center in San Diego. The award will go to Government Imaging Services LLC, a certified Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Business, because the vendor holds proprietary knowledge of the trailer’s structural, electrical, and shielding specifications, minimizing risk to the equipment and ensuring continuity of imaging services while the permanent 3‑Tesla MRI scanner is replaced. The solicitation is not a competitive request; responses are only considered to determine whether competition would be advantageous. • Scope: Transport MRI trailer from Oceanside CBOC → Jennifer Moreno Medical Center → return to Oceanside CBOC, including set‑up and commissioning. • Rationale: Preserve imaging continuity and avoid equipment damage; only the incumbent possesses necessary proprietary data. • Procurement: Sole‑source award under VAAR 819.7008 to a certified SDVOSB; response deadline 5 Oct 2026 07:00 PT.
