Rubric for HTME Turnkey Review
Published: 6 March 2026

Purpose: this document delineates allowable and disallowed work items in turnkey installation projects of high-

tech medical equipment (HTME). All HTME turnkey statements of work (SOWs) are assessed against this document to determine segregable and non-segregable work. The SOW evaluation is led by the Equipment Lifecycle Management office (ELCM) in collaboration with other pertinent subject matter experts. Results of the evaluation are provided to the assigned EPO AS7 contracting officer. The language contained within this document was formulated within the confines of the VA/DLA HTME contracts awarded against Solicitation No. SPE2D1-15-R-0001, section XIV.
