Due to the short half-life of these materials, they cannot be stored in bulk and must be ordered based on weekly patient scheduling. The document outlines the need for an emergency contract vehicle, such as an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), to facilitate timely and ongoing orders of the radiopharmaceuticals. Delivery instructions specify that materials should be sent to Kendall Burd, the Nuclear Medicine Technologist, at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center.
