MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound diagnostic imaging services for VA and DoD health systems. Find active federal and state diagnostic imaging centers contracts — AI-scored against your profile across SAM.gov and 200+ portals.
Annual federal spend for NAICS 621512 is estimated at $300-500 million, heavily concentrated in VA and DoD. Contracts are typically structured as IDIQs or BPAs under larger health services programs, with task orders for specific imaging modalities (MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound). Demand is driven by aging veteran population, military readiness requirements, and IHS rural health needs. Competition is moderate but intensifying for large multi-region IDIQs. Small businesses hold ~30% market share via set-asides. Key buying agencies: VA (VISN-level), DoD (MTFs), IHS, and TRICARE managed care support contractors.
These agencies are the largest buyers of diagnostic imaging centers services and products in the federal government. Each awards contracts under NAICS 621512 regularly — build relationships with their small business offices first.
Focus on VA VISN-level IDIQs and DoD MTF BPAs, which often use 8(a) or SDVOSB set-asides. The highest-leverage move is obtaining VA 'Verified Veteran-Owned Small Business' (VOSB/SDVOSB) status, as the VA is the largest buyer. Compete for regional BPAs rather than national contracts—they have lower competition and higher win rates. Ensure accreditation (ACR, The Joint Commission) and offer mobile imaging units to reduce facility requirements. Bid on TRICARE network RFPs for diagnostic imaging services.
Contracts are awarded via LPTA for routine imaging services and best-value tradeoff for complex or multi-modality requirements. Common vehicles: GSA Schedule 621 I (Health Services), VA's Community Care Network (CCN) IDIQs, DoD's TRICARE network, and IHS Area Office BPAs. Evaluation basis: technical capability, past performance (especially VA/DoD), price, and accreditation.
VA typically requires ACR accreditation for each modality (MRI, CT, mammography) and The Joint Commission or AAAHC facility accreditation. Some contracts accept IAC for vascular ultrasound.
Yes, GSA Schedule 621 I (Professional Services, specifically SIN 621-1) or 621 II (Health Services) is commonly used. Also, SEWP V and 8(a) STARS III are used for IT-related imaging (PACS).
Task orders range from $50,000 for a single mobile MRI unit to $10 million+ for multi-year, multi-site IDIQs. Average BPA award is around $2-5 million over base plus options.
Yes, DoD sets aside many imaging contracts for small businesses, especially under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for advanced imaging tech. Also, TRICARE managed care contracts have small business subcontracting goals.
Bonding is rarely required for service contracts under $150,000. For larger IDIQs, performance bonds may be needed if construction or renovation is involved. Most imaging services contracts do not require bid bonds.
