About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is conducting market research through this sources sought notice for the procurement of Pluvicto (Lutetium LU 177 Vipivvotide Tetraxetan), a proprietary radiopharmaceutical agent used to treat adult patients with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. The VA St. Louis Health Care System requires this radioactive diagnostic therapy agent, which will be administered intravenously by Nuclear Medicine staff for patients who have been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibition and taxane based chemotherapy. Interested contractors must demonstrate technical expertise and capability to perform the work, with responses requiring company information including Unique Entity ID, CAGE Code, Tax ID Number, and a comprehensive capability statement. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1500 employees, though there appears to be conflicting information referencing NAICS 492110 for couriers and express delivery services. All responses must be submitted via email to Michael.murphy7@va.gov by 3:00 PM CST on June 18, 2025, and interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be considered.

This opportunity is currently anticipated as a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms in accordance with Public Law 109-461, Section 8127 Veterans Benefit Act, though the government may consider alternate set-asides or full and open competition if SDVOSB response proves inadequate. The procurement is structured as a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract specifically for the St. Louis VAMC, indicating a long-term commitment to securing this specialized radiopharmaceutical. The notice emphasizes that this is purely for market research and planning purposes, with no funds currently authorized, appropriated, or received for the effort, and the government has no obligation to issue a subsequent solicitation or award a contract based on the responses received. Veteran-owned businesses responding to any future solicitation must also be registered with the Small Business Administration's Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) Registry to be considered for veteran preference. The government reserves the right to proceed with the acquisition approach it deems most appropriate after reviewing the market research responses, with a subsequent formal solicitation expected to be published following the evaluation of interested parties' capabilities.
