Radiopharmaceuticals - San Francisco VA

This solicitation, numbered 36C26126Q0578, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21, seeks radiopharmaceutical supplies for delivery to the VA San Francisco Medical Center, specifically Building 206 GB64 at 4150 Clement Street, San Francisco, CA 94121. The contract is structured as an indefinite-quantity, multiple-order agreement spanning five ordering periods from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031, with an estimated total value between $1,000 and $875,000. Responses are due exclusively via email to Leah Smith at leah.smith@va.gov by 11:00 AM Pacific Time on May 21, 2026, following an amendment extending the original deadline. The solicitation is branded as a “brand name or equal” requirement, meaning offerors may propose equivalent products provided they meet or exceed all technical and regulatory specifications outlined in the solicitation and its attachments, including the Items List.xls. Contractors must comply with stringent regulatory and operational standards for radioactive materials, including DOT, NRC, FDA, and OSHA requirements. All radiopharmaceuticals must be labeled with preparation time, expiration time, date, and quantity, and must conform to the Nuclear Medicine Information System (NMIS) standards, including bar code compatibility. Delivery is FOB destination and requires coordination for after-hours shipments, including VA Police escort and radiation safety officer notification. Evaluation is based on three non-weighted factors—Technical Compliance, Proximity to the VA San Francisco facility (demonstrated via Google Maps showing distance and estimated travel time), and Price—all assessed on a best-value trade-off basis, not as a lowest-price technically acceptable procurement. Technical submissions require proof of current NRC licensing, complete and accurate pricing for all five ordering periods, and full alignment with the Statement of Work. Non-compliant bids, including missing licensing documentation, incomplete pricing, or failure to demonstrate timely delivery capability, will be deemed unacceptable. Contract administration will be conducted through the VA’s Tungsten Network e-Invoicing system, with payment processing contingent upon successful inspection and acceptance at the delivery site. Contractors must also adhere to security restrictions, prohibit foreign-sourced telecommunications equipment under Section 889, comply with OFAC sanctions, and ensure all records and deliver
