This document is a Memorandum for Record (MFR) for a noncompetitive contract limiting competition at the simplified acquisition threshold. William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC) requires SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres supplies and requests approval for a 12-month, firm-fixed-price contract with Sirtex Medical Inc. The procurement is specifically for supplies that are FDA-approved for treating hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver, with a performance period from October 2025 through September 2026.

Market research conducted on the Small Business Administration's Dynamic Small Business Search and Veteran Affairs' Federal Supply Schedule found no alternative vendors capable of providing these specialized microspheres. The justification highlights that Sirtex Medical is the only vendor with FDA premarket approval (PMA) for these specific supplies. The contract is funded through DHA (Defense Health Agency) with a fixed pricing structure. The government will continue seeking competition through ongoing market research, internet and telephone inquiries, and potential Sources Sought Notices to identify alternative vendors in the future.
