About this opportunity
William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC), operating under the Department of the Army Medical Command, is conducting a sources sought notice to identify potential vendors for a Rubidium-82 Generator (Sr-82/Rb-82) system with associated accessories for cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The procurement requires an FDA-approved, complete generator system compatible with the current Bracco Diagnostics CardioGen-82 Infusion System that utilizes a Strontium-82 parent isotope to produce short-lived Rb-82 daughter isotope for myocardial perfusion imaging. Key requirements include FDA-approved breakthrough level compliance, proprietary imaging software such as HeartSee, automated daily eluate testing, support for 10-15+ patient studies per day, and rapid sequential rest/stress imaging capability within 30-45 minutes with accurate myocardial blood flow quantification. The government is specifically seeking company name, Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, point of contact information, and socio-economic classification data, along with a capability statement limited to ten pages. This sources sought notice was posted on April 24, 2026, with a response deadline of May 6, 2026, and the government emphasizes that this notice is for market research and planning purposes only, not a formal solicitation announcement.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and includes no identified incumbent contractors or specific budget range in the sources sought notice. The generator system must provide a functional lifespan of 4-12 weeks with consistent Rb-82 yield and require regular replacement or reloading to prevent operational downtime. Associated accessories specified in the requirement include patient administration sets, vented waste bottle caps, elution vial shields, thermal printer paper, accessory tubing packs, elution test vials, and saline tags compatible with the CardioGen-82 system. The government anticipates that responses will inform its acquisition strategy, and if insufficient information is received to verify competitive potential, a sole-source contract may be pursued. Potential offerors should note that non-response to this sources sought notice does not preclude future participation in any Request for Quote (RFQ) if issued, and vendors must monitor the contracting site for additional procurement information.

THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION ANNOUNCEMENT – This is a Sources Sought Notice and is issued SOLELY FOR MARKET RESEARCH AND PLANNING PURPOSES. This notice does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ) or a promise to issue an RFQ in the future. Solicitations are not available at this time and requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the United States Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary; the United States Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the United States Government. Not responding to this Sources Sought Notice does not preclude participation in any future Request for Quote (RFQ), should one be issued.

The Government will use responses to this notice in formulating its acquisition strategy. If the Government does not receive sufficient information in response to this notice to verify the potential for competition exists, it is possible that a sole-source contract, supported by a Justification and Approval document, will be issued to support the Government's requirement. MRCO-W is seeking the following information (please answer paragraphs below with your response):
- Company name, Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and point of contact information (including phone number and email address), and socio-economic category(ies) as related to 325412 Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing. Capability Statement (limited to ten pages), describing how your company meets the requirements of the salient characteristics (attached) and additional proof (such as product literature and locations where the system is currently installed) where appropriate. Demonstrated experience in supplying Sr-82/Rb-82 generators to similar medical facilities. Proof of FDA approval for the generator system. Confirmation of compatibility with currently government owned Bracco CardioGen-82 Infusion Systems. Description of shipping, tracking, and technical support capabilities as applicable.
- Overview of the Requirement: WBAMC is seeking sources capable of providing a Rubidium-82 generator system and associated accessories for cardiac positron emission tomography imaging. The goal is to identify vendors who can supply a complete, integrated system 100% compatible with current CardioGen-82 by Bracco procedures to ensure continuous cardiac positron emission tomography imaging service of already government owned equipment. See attached Salient Characteristics required.
