The VA Providence Research Department is seeking market research through a Sources Sought notice for a preclinical compact MRI system with a permanent, self-shielded 1T magnet. The system must have a maximum acoustic output of 75dB, be compact and mobile, and include an integrated animal handling platform with physiological monitoring and anesthesia delivery. It should offer pre-optimized imaging protocols for non-expert users, while allowing advanced users full sequence control via an open-source development kit. Interested firms must be registered in SAM and submit company details, evidence of meeting specifications, and socio-economic status. Performance would take place at the VA Providence Research Department, but no budget amounts or submission timelines are specified.
