Intent to Sole Source - Amyvid (Florbetapir F 18)

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to PETNET Solutions, Inc. for the supply of Amyvid (Florbetapir F 18), a radiopharmaceutical used in Alzheimer’s disease assessment, to be delivered on an as-needed basis to the Nuclear Medicine Hot Lab at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in East Orange, New Jersey. The contract requires the contractor to provide 10.0 mCi intravenous doses with FDA-compliant labeling that includes radioactivity amount, preparation time, expiration date and time, and a bar-coded insert compatible with the VA’s Nuclear Medicine Information Management System (NMIS); if the contractor’s system is incompatible, they must provide data migration, technical support, and staff training at no additional cost to the government. All deliveries must comply with stringent regulatory standards including those from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Transportation, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, United States Pharmacopeia Chapter 797, and Nuclear Pharmacy Practice guidelines, with copies of active licenses and certifications required for submission. The procurement is conducted under FAR 13.105(a) as a sole source action due to the unique nature of the product and the sole responsible source, with no competition solicited and no set-aside for small or socioeconomic businesses. Proposals in the form of capability statements, including regulatory documentation, must be submitted via email to the contracting officer by May 6, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST; no briefings, reimbursements, or physical submissions are permitted. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery site in East Orange, with government oversight ensuring adherence to all federal and state regulations, and gray market items are strictly prohibited. No pricing details, contract value, or line-item numbers are disclosed, consistent with the pre-solicitation nature of the notice, and no formal contracting officer’s representative or payment office information is provided.
