Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity for a Medrad Mark 7 Arterion Injection System (brand only) with installation appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior VA Palo Alto Healthcare System purchasing under contract 36C26123P1759, awarded to 1st American Medical Distributors for $35,995 (09/08/23–04/04/24) for the Medrad Mark 7 Arterion Injection System. The prior award description aligns closely with the current requirement for the same injector system, and the solicitation’s emphasis on OEM-compatible installation and setup suggests continuity in maintaining the facility’s existing contrast injection capability.
