Radioactive Material Logistics & Delivery

The contract requires time-sensitive, temperature-controlled transportation of short-half-life I-123 radiopharmaceuticals from the production facility to a Veterans Affairs medical center, ensuring strict compliance with radiation safety protocols throughout the entire logistics chain. The shipment demands specialized handling, including certified packaging, real-time monitoring, and adherence to regulatory standards for radioactive materials to maintain product integrity and personnel safety. Delivery must occur within a narrow window due to the rapid decay of I-123, making punctuality and operational precision non-negotiable. This is a subcontract under the Department of Veterans Affairs, solicited by the Network Contract Office 19, with a response deadline of July 3, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The NAICS code 484220 identifies it as a specialized freight transportation service, underscoring the need for vendors with proven experience in medical isotope logistics and radiological compliance. Performance is expected to meet or exceed federal radiation transport regulations, with no flexibility in timing or handling procedures, and the contract is structured to ensure seamless integration into VA healthcare supply chains serving veterans.
