DOE Medical Isotopes IDIQ

The Department of Energy Office of Science established this Master IDIQ for Strontium-82 target material to support Los Alamos National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory on October 10, 2012, with ordering closed as of April 30, 2018. The vehicle is no longer active; the last task order was awarded September 18, 2017, more than eight years ago.

The vehicle contracted exclusively for Strontium-82 isotope material in various forms—prepurified solutions, rubidium metal targets, and irradiated target materials—supplied under firm fixed price, time and materials, and fixed price with economic price adjustment terms. Delivery orders covered monthly and periodic supply cycles with completion dates ranging from late 2012 through early 2019.

Groupement Interet Public Arronax dominated the vehicle, holding 15 of 20 task orders and $12.8 million of the combined $15.7 million potential value (82% by count, 81% by value). Nuclear Medicine Solutions, Inc. held the remaining 5 orders and $2.8 million. The Department of Energy Office of Science placed 18 of 20 orders valued at $14.1 million; the Office of Management and DOE Headquarters accounted for the remaining two orders totaling $1.6 million.

All 20 delivery orders were unrestricted; no set-asides were used. Task order ceilings ranged from approximately $132 thousand to $1.8 million, with typical durations of four to seven months. The vehicle obligated $5.1 million against the combined potential value of $15.7 million (32% obligation rate). Ordering activity peaked in 2016 with six orders, then declined to three orders in 2017 before the vehicle closed.

The contract is to meet the requirement for Strontium-82 (SR-82) target material for Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).
