About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration is seeking a small business contractor to provide F18-Florbetapir NEURACEQ unit doses for nuclear medicine/PET diagnostic imaging at the Lexington VA Medical Center. The solicitation (RFQ 36C24925Q0157) requires delivery of radiopharmaceutical doses that comply with federal regulations for medical byproducts, with specific requirements for delivery timing, documentation, and quality control. Quotes must be submitted electronically by March 6, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT, with any questions due by February 27, 2025. The evaluation will be based on a comparative assessment of price, technical capability to meet turnaround times, and past performance references. Offerors must complete representations and certifications through the System for Award Management (SAM) and demonstrate compliance with subcontracting limitations.

This is a total small business set-aside contract under NAICS code 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract covers a base period and four option years, with increasing annual quantities from 40 doses in the first year to 100 doses in the fifth year, totaling 350 doses over the five-year period. The performance period runs from March 15, 2025, through March 14, 2030, with delivery to be made to the VA Medical Center located at 1101 Veterans Drive in Lexington, Kentucky. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the increasing per-unit pricing suggests potential budget flexibility.

(ii) A fine under section 16(g)(1) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 645(g)(1)); and

(iii) Prosecution for violating 18 U.S.C. 1001.

(b) The offeror represents and understands that by submission of its offer and award of a contract it may be required to provide copies of documents or records to VA that VA may review to determine whether the offeror complied with the limitations on subcontracting requirement specified in the contract or to determine whether the offeror qualifies as a manufacturer or nonmanufacturer in compliance with the limitations on subcontracting requirement.

(c) The offeror further agrees to cooperate fully and make available any documents or records as may be required to enable VA to determine compliance. The offeror understands that failure to provide documents as requested by VA may result in remedial action as the Government deems appropriate.

(d) Offeror completed certification/fill-in required. The formal certification must be completed, signed and returned with the offeror s bid, quotation, or proposal.
