The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 is soliciting proposals for radiopharmaceutical isotopes under RFQ 36C24725Q0808. The procurement covers multiple product lines including leak tests, sealed source inventories, I-131 treatments, and Tc-99m non-HEU NaTcO4 unit doses, classified under NAICS code 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing) and Product Service Code Q527 (Medical-Nuclear Medicine). All offerors must be registered in BetaSAM and meet the specified NAICS code requirements, with a critical 1-hour delivery requirement for radiopharmaceuticals that cannot be extended for emergency situations. The solicitation includes technical specifications for isotope services and potential use of NMIS software for hot lab information systems. The deadline for receipt of offers has been extended to August 15, 2025, at 11:00 AM EDT through Amendment 0001, and the solicitation will be archived 60 days after the response date.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The procurement is managed through the VA's LaVista Business Park in Tucker, Georgia, with Gail Bargaineer serving as the primary contracting point of contact at email Gail.Bargaineer2@va.gov and phone 404-321-6069. The amendment addressed several vendor questions and confirmed the removal of small business restrictions while maintaining strict delivery timeline requirements. No specific contract value ranges or quantities are mentioned in the available documentation, though the solicitation requires detailed pricing submissions from potential vendors. The place of performance appears to be within the Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 region, with the strict 1-hour delivery requirement suggesting local or regional service capabilities are essential for contract performance.
