About this file

This document is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the procurement of Piflufolastat F-18 (PylarifyTM) unit doses for the NIH Clinical Center's Nuclear Medicine Department. The SOW seeks to contract directly with Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a Lantheus Holdings subsidiary) for the exclusive FDA-approved imaging drug used to localize prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in prostate cancer patients. The contract period will run from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, with a base 12-month period initially funded and potential for additional funding through separate orders.

Key requirements include delivering unit doses to the NIH Clinical Center Nuclear Pharmacy at least 30 minutes prior to patient administration, with precise calibration timing. The contract allows for an economic price adjustment up to 10% for 2026, subject to NIH Contracting Office approval. Performance will be evaluated based on dose accuracy, radiation contamination testing, and regulatory compliance. This is a sole-source procurement justified by Lantheus's exclusive patent and authorization, with Sofie Nuclear Pharmacy as the authorized compounding and distribution partner.

NIH Department of Radiology & Imaging Sciences Radiopharmacy, Nuclear Medicine

STATEMENT OF WORK

Procurement of Piflufolastat F-18 (PylarifyTM) Unit Doses Nuclear Pharmacy, Nuclear Medicine Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences Clinical Center National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD 20892

(1) Introduction and Scope of Work

The NIH Clinical Center Nuclear Pharmacy (CC NP) purchases and compounds radiopharmaceuticals (radioactive drugs) on a daily basis for life-saving clinical nuclear medicine procedures which are essential for the NIH Clinical Center to achieve optimal patient care. These radiopharmaceuticals are United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs for use in patients. They are also radioactive materials that are regulated by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC) through the NIH radioactive material license (RAM) administered by the NIH Radiation Safety Office (RSO). Only RSO certified Nuclear Medicine personnel can order these radiopharmaceuticals directly for patient use. Each radiopharmaceutical is time sensitive because of the rapid radiation decay. Because of their short useful half-lives, they cannot be ordered in advance for storage. They must be properly compounded, dispensed, calibrated and delivered for a specific patient at a specific time on a specific date on a daily basis. The NIH Nuclear Medicine clinic performs imaging and therapy procedures for all patients admitted to the NIH Clinical Center. These procedures are essential and necessary for the NIH clinical staff to save patients’ lives and minimize their sufferings. These nuclear medicine procedures must use radiopharmaceuticals that are administered to the patients in order to produce the required images or therapeutic results. Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive drugs that are regulated by both FDA and US NRC. Procurement and use of these radiopharmaceutical drugs must meet federal regulations from both of these agencies. Only qualified vendors that meet the FDA and US NRC regulations can provide these radiopharmaceuticals for compounding and dispensing at NIH Nuclear Pharmacy to NIH Clinical Center patients.

Piflufolastat F-18 injection (PylarifyTM) is a new imaging drug approved by the FDA this year for use in scintigraphic localization of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. It is the first and only commercially available approved imaging agent to identify suspected metastasis or recurrence of prostate cancer. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a wholly own subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings, Inc.) is the only manufacturer with an exclusive patent authorized by FDA to provide this new drug in the United States (US). Based on this diagnostic test and patient disease conditions, the patient will be treated appropriately. For each patient study, the dose activity (calibrated dose) is unique at a specific time (calibrated time). Lantheus Holdings, Inc. has authorized regional commercial nuclear pharmacies to compound and prepare this radioactive drug and invoice customers on behalf of the company.

The purpose of the SOW is to procure compounded piflufolasta F-18 in patient ready unit doses (UDs) from Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a Lantheus company) through an authorized nuclear pharmacy (Sofie Nuclear Pharmacy) for the use by the NIH Nuclear Medicine, Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences to diagnose and treat diseases as required by necessary patient care protocols at the NIH Clinical Center. This new radioactive drug is vital to the NIH Clinical Center missions. Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (A Lantheus Company) is currently the sole manufacturer authorized by the FDA to provide this new radioactive drug. This contract will be a continuation of IDIQ #36F79719D0170 issued to an Authorized Agent and will be completed as of September 30, 2024. This new contract will be issued directly to Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. starting October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026 with allowable Economic Price Adjustment for the new Lantheus Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) pricing in the new calendar 2026 year as allowed by the FSS contract.

A base 12-months period will be initially funded with a purchase order. It is predicted that additional funding will be added in separate orders as funding becomes available.

(2) Requirements.

The NIH Clinical Center Nuclear Medicine Clinic is seeking to procure Piflufolastat F-18 injection (PylarifyTM) unit dose from Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (A Lantheus Company). The Piflufolastat F-18 injection (PylarifyTM) unit doses that are ordered must arrive at the NIH Clinical Center Nuclear Pharmacy at least 30 minutes prior to the administration (calibration time). The contract shall be valid for a period of October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026 with allowable Economic Price Adjustment for 2026 (price increases cannot exceed 10% unless receiving approval from the NIH Chief of the Contracting Office).
