Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Orlando VA Healthcare System (OVAHCS), is conducting a Sources Sought for Diagnostic Radiology Physician Services. This market research aims to identify qualified sources capable of providing two (2) Full-Time Employee Equivalent (FTEE) onsite Diagnostic Radiology Physicians. This notice is for planning purposes only and may or may not lead to a future solicitation. Responses are due March 18, 2026, at 4:30 PM EST.
Scope of Work
The OVAHCS requires two (2) FTEE onsite Diagnostic Radiology Physicians who are Board-Certified and fellowship trained (or possess substantial clinical experience) in Body, Musculoskeletal (MSK), or Neuroradiology. Physicians must meet or exceed American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines and be accredited by ACR for Mammography. Services are required Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, with no off-hours or on-call duties. Each physician must produce 9000 wRVUs/year. Qualified substitute personnel must be available, and a contingency plan for uninterrupted services is required.
Key Physician Requirements:
- Minimum three (3) years of continuous Board-Certified Diagnostic Radiologist experience within the last four (4) years.
- Proficiency in interpreting CT, MRI, Ultrasound, and Diagnostic X-ray imaging.
- Current, full, and unrestricted medical license in any U.S. state, territory, or commonwealth.
- Board-Certified per the American Board of Radiology (ABR).
Clarifications from Q&A (Most Recent Document):
- General Radiology Workload: Body and MSK radiologists will perform general radiology (fluoroscopy, plain films, general ultrasound) 3/5 days. Neuro radiologists will have 1/5 day of sub-specialty work.
- General Radiologist Role: A general radiologist may be considered if willing to read chest CTs (including lung cancer screening exams) to meet productivity targets.
- wRVU Distribution: Sub-specialty wRVU generation varies; Body/MSK radiologists may generate ~50% from their sub-specialty, while Neuro radiologists have less opportunity.
