About this opportunity
The Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 23, awarded a $362,878.01 contract to Bracco Diagnostics Inc. for Rh-82 Rubidium Generators for the Iowa City VA Health Care System on October 1, 2026.
The order runs from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 and was placed as a sole source award under Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures (GSAR Subpart 538.71). The procurement is classified under NAICS Code 325412 and PSC 6505. Award was made under GSAR 538.7104-3(b) without competitive quotations. The sole source justification establishes that Bracco Diagnostics is the only FSS source capable of providing the CardioGen-82 Rubidium Rb-82 Generator; the facility's established operational procedures, quality-control practices, and clinical workflows are specific to the Bracco platform, and transitioning to an alternative manufacturer would require equipment changes, staff retraining, and revised procedures, creating unnecessary operational disruption. The government conducted market research using the VA NAC Contract Catalog, GSA eLibrary, manufacturer information, and historical data, and identified no SDVOSB or VOSB alternatives.
