(CAGE: 7XL23), located in Boulder, CO., on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), soliciting from a single source to obtain a Breast Phantom Quantitative MRI. The lab needs a phantom capable of reproducing the quantitative MRI T1 relaxation and water diffusion properties of the breast. Verification of the measured properties of T1 relaxation and water diffusion with the range of values of human breast tissue and with a single, flexible outer shell shall be easily positioned in various MRI coils. Due to the complexity of the phantom, CaliberMRI, Inc. is considered the only viable option for this requirement.
