Emergency LSJ Order over SAT Redacted 1.pdf

This is a Limited Sources Justification document for an emergency procurement order of pharmaceutical supplies conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 19 (NCO19) on behalf of the Eastern Colorado Healthcare System at Rocky Mountain VA Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado. The order is placed against Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Contract Number 36F79720D0227 with Exelan Pharmaceuticals Inc., located at 370 Camino Gardens Boulevard, Boca Raton, Florida 33432.

The procurement seeks emergency supply of Lenalidomide, an essential life-sustaining cancer treatment medication used for treating leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. The VA received an immediate and critical request on February 5, 2026, due to insufficient current inventory to support multiple patients at imminent risk of treatment interruption. The delivery period was from February 5 to February 8, 2026, and the medication has already been delivered. The justification cites the urgent and compelling need under RFO Subpart 538.7104-3(b)(1)(i), as standard ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays that pose direct risk to patient health and treatment continuity. Market research confirmed that Exelan Pharmaceuticals Inc. is the sole manufacturer and dispenser of the generic brand of Lenalidomide at the cost-effective level required, with items manufactured in the United States. The justification notes that the pricing has been evaluated as fair and reasonable, representing best value to the Government due to the combination of pricing, critical requirement for this specific brand to ensure continuity of care, and lack of alternative sources. Approvals from both the Contracting Officer and one level above are documented in the justification.
