Background.

DHA is finalizing the consolidation of site local PACS to a HUB and Spoke model throughout the enterprise. Currently, DHA has 12 HUB PACS strategically located within the DHA PACS enterprise. Additionally, there are 50 spoke sites with downtime servers. DHA PACS locations are currently utilizing Terarecon, Vitrea, Syngo Via, DynaCAD and RadLink 3D Advanced Imaging Software solutions.

The new 3D Advanced Imaging Software system will meet industry performance standards, offer the necessary redundancy and contingency features to meet DHA needs, and provide state-of-the-art technology enhancements to improve user experience and minimize service disruption.

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items to provide as necessary for DHA to transition from local PACS or HUB PACS solution (s) to a single enterprise 3D Advanced Imaging Software solution integrated with current PACS vendors.

Vendors are encouraged to submit the following highly desirable information in response to this RFI:

a). The requirement is for a single enterprise advanced visualization. Please provide details and diagrams demonstrating the configuration of the single enterprise solution. The solution must be capable to support the 12 current hub Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS).

b). Confirm your solution has been tested and validated fully integrated to the Agfa and Fuji client desktops. The solution must l launch from within the PACS.

c). Provide a full implementation plan detailing timelines to complete the implementation of the enterprise solution within 12 months of contract award.

d). Provide the eMASS ID and expiration date for the DHA level Authority to Operate (ATO) for the solution. Site level ATOs cannot be used for enterprise solutions managed centrally.

e) Confirm the following clinical requirements are presently commercially available for Nuclear Medicine:

1. System must be capable of providing a consistent workflow for SIRT (Selective Internal Radiation Therapy) to include the ability to perform dose planning to determine activity required to achieve a therapeutic dose and process dose verification to assess radioactive spheres to confirm location of the administration of the therapeutic dose.


2. System must be capable of performing brain quantification measurements on brain SPECT and brain PET images, along with the capability to compare to a normative database for brain metabolism- FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET images. Could include overlay of subtraction image with MR scan for subtraction analysis.


3. System should be capable of calculating dose distribution for the whole body or a single organ and provide a voxel-wise dose distribution calculation.

f). Confirm the following clinical requirement is commercially available for CT Perfusion (CPT):

• Algorithm that detects aneurysms in CTAs.

If your firm is capable of providing the requirements described in the draft MECs, please provide a Capability Statement to Mr. Jessee Chege at Jessee.t.chege.civ@health.mil. A vendor responding to this RFI with generic material only, such as brochures, advertisements or other generic material, is highly discouraged. No questions will be entertained at this time.
