    The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks to establish a single firm-fixed-price contract for a base year and four optional years for the supply of radiopharmaceuticals to the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System. The goal is to procure a diverse range of radioactive pharmaceuticals, including FDG, NAF, Sodium Iodine, In-111 Pentetreotide, and various Tc-99m-based products, among others, for use in nuclear medicine and imaging services. These pharmaceuticals must adhere to quality and packaging standards and be delivered to the healthcare system within specified timeframes. The estimated total value of the contract is up to $5 million. Offerors must submit their quotes by the response deadline for consideration. Key dates include a question submission deadline of July 17, 2024, and a response deadline of July 22, 2024.
    The Department of Veterans Affairs issues an amendment extending the response deadline for its previous solicitation (36C26224Q1356) related to radiopharmaceuticals. The focus is on clarifying requirements, especially for Tc99m-based products, and addressing vendor questions. Duplications noted are not errors; the VA specifically requires both HEU and non-HEU variants. Vendors must adhere to specified quantities and quality standards, especially for sentinel node detection in melanoma patients. The VA will accept substitutes for Lymphoseek, but they must meet stringent requirements. This amendment doesn't alter the original solicitation's terms, merely extending the response date. The initial solicitation sought bids for a comprehensive range of radiopharmaceuticals, with response deadline now confirmed as July 30th, 2024.

They are required to resubmit their offers with estimated total costs for a four-year base period, along with an additional option year. All other terms and conditions stay the same, and the new response deadline is now 8 August 2024, 10:00 AM Pacific Time.
