- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. It is neither a solicitation announcement nor a request for proposals or quotes and does not obligate the Government to award a contract. Responses to this sources sought notice must be in writing. The purpose of this sources sought announcement is for market research to make appropriate acquisition decisions and to gain knowledge of potential businesses interested and capable of providing the services described below. VA Loma Linda Healthcare System located at 11201 Benton Street, Loma Linda CA, 92357 is seeking a contractor to provide Radiopharmaceutical Supplies-NETSPOT (Gallium 68 Dotatate) The supplies must have the following salient characteristics: Ga 68 Dotatate injection, a radioactive diagnostic agent for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. This radioactive probe is used for diagnosing and staging to find Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) throughout the body. Gallium-68 decays with a half-life of 68 minutes to stable zinc Zn 68 10% through orbital electron capture (X-ray or Auger emissions), and 3% through 13 gamma transitions from 5 exited levels. The effective radiation dose resulting from the administration of 150 MBq (4.05 mCi) [within the range of the recommended Ga 68 Dotatate injection dose] to an adult weighing 75 kg, is about 3.15 mSv. For an administered activity of 150 MBq (4.05 mCi) the typical radiation dose to the critical organs, which are the urinary bladder wall, the spleen and the kidneys/adrenals, are about 18, 16 and 12 mGy, respectively. Because the spleen has one of the highest physiological uptakes, higher uptake and radiation dose to other organs or pathologic tissues may occur in patients with splenectomy. Physical data Gamma constant: 0.67 mrem/hr per mCi at 1 meter [1.8E-4 mSv/hr per MBq at 1 meter]. Specific Activity: 4.1E7 Ci/g [1.51E18 Bq/g] max 2. Shielding Lead [Pb] Half Value Layer [HVL]: 6 mm (0.24 in) Tenth Value Layer [TVL]: 17 mm (0.67 in If you are interested and can provide the required service(s) please provide the following information.
