About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Blue Ridge Isotopes, Inc. for radiopharmaceutical isotopes. The contract will serve the Salem VA Medical Center Radiology Department in Salem, Virginia, and falls under the NAICS code 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,300 employees. This is a firm-fixed-price contract structured as a base year plus four option years, running from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030. The total estimated contract value is approximately $2.03 million based on historical usage data. The VA is using FAR 6.302-1 authority for "Only One Responsible Source" to justify the sole source procurement.
The primary purpose of this contract is to provide radiopharmaceutical isotopes for nuclear medicine imaging and procedures at the Salem VA Medical Center's Radiology Department. The critical requirement driving the sole source justification is the need for delivery within two hours due to the extremely short shelf life of these isotopes, and Blue Ridge Isotopes' unique geographic advantage of being located only five miles from the facility. Interested parties have until September 19, 2025, to identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals, though this notice is not a request for competitive quotations. Market research conducted by the Contracting Officer confirmed that no other vendors in Virginia, North Carolina, or Tennessee could meet the stringent delivery timeframe. The VA reserves the right to make the final decision on whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on responses received, and will not be responsible for costs associated with preparing responses to this notification.
