Sources Sought Notice The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 6 Network Contracting Office (NCO), on behalf of Salisbury VA Medical Center, is conducting market research through this Sources Sought Notice to seek qualified local business sources for FY15 standing order for Radiopharmaceuticals. The Statement of Work for this requirement reads (in part) as follows: Radiopharmaceuticals are used in Nuclear Medicine Imaging. These radioactive isotopes are needed to perform diagnostic nuclear imaging procedures. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) shall procure medical radioisotopes only from non-High Enriched Uranium (HEU) sources. Contractor will secure FDA only approved radiopharmaceutical generators, kits, and any other products required to prepare radiopharmaceuticals. Contractor will obtain such products only from suppliers licensed and inspected by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State to provide such goods and services. Delivery requirements: Contractor must be able to deliver within 75 minutes of receipt of a request for those radioactive isotopes listed in the Schedule which have limited shelf life. Diagnostic radioactive isotopes have a short shelf life and must be delivered on a daily basis. Doses are ordered specific for each patient study. The use of a local Contractor is required due to the short half life of the radioisotopes. The Contractor shall have the delivery capabilities to provide doses when needed. The VA Medical Center needs the capability to perform nuclear scans immediately when procedures are added during the day, whether an emergency or a new diagnosis. The Contractor shall deliver the radiopharmaceuticals provided in the Schedule/Price Sheet to the Nuclear Medicine Department no more than two hours after the order has been placed.
