A Half Billion Dollars in PACS…Really?

By on March 13, 2013

I found an interesting news release concerning the allocation of some government contracts.  The most notable was for Agfa Healthcare Corp.  Agfa was issued a modification exercising the first option period on contract (SPM2D1-11-D-8303/P00027).

The modification is a fixed-price with economic-price-adjustment contract for $528,376,639 for Digital Imaging Network-Picture Archive Communications System.

Location of performance is South Carolina with a March 7, 2015 performance completion date.  Using military services are Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and federal civilian agencies.  Type of appropriation is fiscal 2013 through fiscal 2015 Defense Working Capital funds.  The contracting activity is the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, Philadelphia, Pa.
