- JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 1. Requiring Activity: Nuclear Medicine Clinic Naval Medical Center San Diego 34800 Bob Wilson Drive San Diego, CA 92134-5000 Contracting Activity: Naval Medical Logistics Command Code 02 1681 Nelson Street Fort Detrick, MD 21702 Requisition Number: N00259-10-RCE-0084 2. Nature or Description of the Action being Approved: Justification is for the award of a five year FFP IDIQ to secure nuclear PET radiopharmaceuticals for the Nuclear Medicine Clinic. This acquisition is in support of Naval Medical Center’s Mission of providing continuous improvement to the quality healthcare, providing casualty care to the wounded veterans and providing preventive care for service members ready to deploy. This service is needed in order to diagnose, stage and treatment evaluations for fractures, infections, brain, heart studies and metastatic cancer. These products will be needed on a daily, weekly and/or monthly schedule. 3. Description of Supplies/Services: To deliver radio-labeled pharmaceuticals to the nuclear medicine clinic to be utilized in performing diagnostic, evaluation and post-treatment scans and for staging and treatment of cancers and other medical diseases. These radiopharmaceuticals are needed to treat patients on a daily basis. All products will meet with the NRC standards. Vendor must be in a local area (50 mile radius) due to the half life of radiopharmaceuticals. Company needs to be able to deliver product within ONE hour of notice. Services will provide necessary personnel to make and delivery these products directly to the nuclear medicine clinic by the shortest transfer path. Theses products will need to be received by one of the nuclear medicine staff members. Products are not to be left in the hallway, at the door or unaccompanied at any given time. There will be weekly schedules with the possibility of add on emergency patients. The clinic will have the option of phoning in the orders to be received. All products will be paid for through the WAWF system. Vendor will have a daily tracking system of orders to be available upon request for comparison to hospital orders. Vendor will need to provide an updated copy of their Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) License to the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). 4. Identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open Competition. The statutory exception permitting other than full and open competition for this acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source as implemented by paragraph 6.302-1(c) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. 5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority. PETNET is within close proximity of the hospital and can supply all the radioactive pharmaceuticals and tracers to the hospital within a short period of time. The vendor has all radiopharmaceuticals needed for patient specific criteria. With shortages of nuclear medicine isotopes, PETNET offers some alternative radiopharmaceuticals, this command can utilize that will save the command an average of $3,500.00 per patient, preventing disengagement due to time constraints on other modalities. They have a certified radiopharmacist. They meet all the NRC standards for making and providing theses products to us. Amongst the PET agents to be utilized, FDG is the most common agent and is used for patients with cancer, being involved in cancer detection, staging, therapy and follow up studies after initiation of therapy. Other isotopes other than FDG can be utilized to look for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, infection of unknown origin and heart viability. Sodium Fluoride is a PET agent which is utilized to evaluate for fractures, metastatic bone disease and bone viability for amputees. Rubidium is a cardiac perfusion agent which is used to triage patients in the emergency room as well as identify those patients who may be at risk for a myocardial event during a planned surgical procedure. For the above listed reasons, PetNet is the only source that would be meet this requirement. 6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers as Many Sources as Practicable. This is the only place in the local vicinity that has the capability to provide each radio isotope that is on the list to take care of our patients. A notice of intent to sole source will be posted to FBO in an attempt to locate more potential contractors. Market Research was conducted by contacting local hospitals and through internet searches and use of past procurements to come to the conclusion that there is only one responsible source. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price. The anticipated cost to the government of the supplies/services covered by this J & A is considered fair and reasonable based on the commercially available prices in the area. 8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition. In accordance with FAR 5.201, an announcement will be posted to FBO.gov.
