The Research Service at the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System (CAVHS) in Little Rock, Arkansas, requires a high-resolution Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) system to replace its nonfunctional, obsolete Lunar PIXImus X-ray densitometer. The requested solution is the Medikors InAlyzer2 INZ2-Type M High-Resolution DEXA instrument-distributed in the United States by Micro Photonics Inc.-or an **equal** system that fully meets the Government's salient physical, functional, and performance characteristics. This instrument is needed to quantify bone mineral density (BMD) and to conduct whole-body composition analysis (lean and fat mass) in live laboratory animals, supporting the core objectives and specific aims of multiple VA Merit-funded projects at CAVHS. Accordingly, the Government will solicit this requirement on a **Brand Name or Equal** basis using the Medikors InAlyzer2 INZ2-Type M. Vendors offering an **equal** instrument must demonstrate full compliance with the salient characteristics to support accurate BMD and body composition analysis in live small animals and to operate effectively in a VA preclinical research environment.
