The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is conducting market research for a Radiopharmaceutical Inventory for Nuclear Medicine National Contract (VA-26-00024441) to develop an enterprise system for tracking radioactive materials and radiopharmaceutical inventory across 115 VA Medical Centers and Healthcare Systems. The procurement seeks a comprehensive solution that will enable nuclear medicine technologists, radiologists, radiation safety officers, and clinical staff to manage radiation safety programs, track radioactive materials from order entry through disposal, and monitor regulatory compliance. Key requirements include barcode scanning capabilities, dose tracking, DICOM-compliant reporting, HL7 interface functionality, integration with existing VA systems (VistA and Oracle Health Millennium), and patient dose tracking with both local and national-level reporting capabilities. The government is currently in the Request for Information (RFI) phase, requesting detailed capability statements of up to 20 pages addressing technical solutions, system integration approaches, data migration plans, cost breakdowns, and support levels. Responses to the RFI were due November 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, with the anticipated formal solicitation and award expected in June 2026. Contract Specialist Leanne Kjesbu (Leanne.Kjesbu@va.gov, 848-377-5118) serves as the primary point of contact for this opportunity.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractor is identified in the available documentation. The contract will follow a 12-month base period structure with four optional 12-month renewal periods, with a maximum duration not to exceed 60 months total. No specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, as the government is still conducting market research to determine appropriate requirements and pricing. Vendors must be software publishers (NAICS 513210) capable of providing comprehensive training, system maintenance, data migration, and ongoing support services that comply with strict federal security and privacy requirements. The solicitation is classified under Product Service Code 6525 for imaging equipment and supplies.
