This document is a Sole Source Justification under Simplified Procedures for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) contract for radiopharmaceutical products. The VA Black Hills Health Care System (VABHCS) requires radiopharmaceuticals for nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging, specifically 8 different injectable and ingestible radiopharmaceuticals with varying dose ranges and estimated yearly quantities. Pharmologic Holdings Corp. is the sole identified vendor capable of meeting the unique requirements, which include delivering medications to the clinic by 7:00am Monday through Friday following the order date, being USP Chapter 797 certified, and licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The contract period is from 10/01/2025 to 09/30/2030, with a total estimated value of $200,255.59 for the base period and $1,084,706.43 for the total estimated contract amount. Market research was conducted through the SBA's DSBS tool, with only one response received from Cardinal Health 414 LLC, which could not meet the facility's requirements. The VA plans to conduct further market research to potentially expand vendor options and explore the possibility of preparing radiopharmaceuticals from kits in the future.
