About this opportunity
This solicitation from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration seeks the manufacturing and delivery of 68 line items of nuclear medicine radiopharmaceuticals on an as-needed basis for the South Texas VA Health Care System. Offerors must be licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or authorized state entity to provide radiopharmaceuticals at the necessary scale and frequency to meet delivery requirements within 1-1.5 hours of order placement. Proposals are due by January 5, 2024 with pricing to be provided based on unit dose quantities ordered and no additional fees.
There is no set-aside designated for this requirement, which involves NAICS code 541711 and PSC code Q1FX. Delivery locations will be within the San Antonio, Texas area. Given the critical and time-sensitive nature of the radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment and the stringent licensing and regulatory compliance required, it is likely there are only a small number of qualified incumbent contractors capable of fulfilling this contract. Pricing will be evaluated with award made based on a combination of technical acceptability, past performance, and total evaluated price.
Notice text
The South Texas VA Health Care System (STVHCS) requires the manufacturing and delivery of radiopharmaceuticals for the diagnosis and treatment of various disease processes through Nuclear Medicine Imaging; each delivery shall be made upon the request of the STVHCS.
There are 68 Line Items comprising this acquisition; see attached breakdown.
The radiopharmaceuticals market is very limited due to location requirements and short shelf-life. Quantities must be ordered when needed due to the short shelf-life of the pharmaceuticals.
This requirement is for radiopharmaceuticals mainly used for detecting and treating cancer in VA patients; with nuclear medications, there is a very short shelf-life (typically 4 hours from moment radioactive materials are introduced) which requires that a pharmacy be within a short distance that will allow emergency deliveries within 1-1.5 hours from time radiopharmaceutical order is placed.
Contractor must be licensed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), or a State with a formal Agreement with the USNRC that allows the State to regulate radioactive materials (Licensee) and be regularly established in the business of providing radiopharmaceuticals at the scale and frequency necessary to meet this requirement. The Radiopharmaceuticals must be shipped from the Licensee directly to STVHCS.
Contractor/licensee shall meet all applicable Nuclear Regulatory Commission, VA/National Health Physics Program (NHPP), Department of Transportation, FDA, Joint Commission, OSHA, State, and Federal requirements, rules, and/or regulations related to the supply of Radiopharmaceuticals.
