Calling a Scalar-valued Function in SSIS

Question

Is there any way to execute a scalar-valued function from within a Derived Column transformation in SSIS?

-Scenario-

I have a function in my source DB that converts weights based on a UOM value in the record's UOM column. I want to utilize this function in the ETL process to ensure that my weight measures are always pounds. Can I call this function from within a Derived Column? If not, is there another transformation task I could utilize within the Data Flow (trying to avoid staging columns)?

dbo.Tasks table

id |  Name  | netWeight | grossWeight | UOM
12   Task12     30000        50000      10

dbo.MeasurementUnits table

id |   Name    | Shortname | Type | Precision
12  Kilogram    kg          3   10000       
14  Pound       lb          3   10000

dbo.GetConvertedWeight function

    ALTER  FUNCTION [dbo].[GetConvertedWeight](@iWeight money, @ifromUOM int, @iToUOM int) 
    RETURNS money
    AS  
    BEGIN 
    DECLARE @lConvertedWeight money, 
            @lKgToGrams money,
            @lLbToGrams money,
            @lOzToGrams money,
            @lWeightInGrams money

    --convert the weight to grams first.
    SELECT @lWeightInGrams = CASE WHEN @iFromUOM = 12 THEN (ISNULL(@iWeight,0) * 1000)
                         WHEN @iFromUOM = 14 THEN (ISNULL(@iWeight,0) * 453.5924)
                         WHEN @iFromUOM = 15 THEN (ISNULL(@iWeight,0) * 28.3495)
                         WHEN @iFromUOM = 13 THEN (ISNULL(@iWeight,0))
                         ELSE ISNULL(@iWeight,0)
                         END

    --Convert the converted weight to grams to the desired weight
    SELECT @lConvertedWeight = CASE WHEN @iToUOM = 12 THEN (ISNULL(@lWeightInGrams,0) / 1000)
                            WHEN @iToUOM = 13 THEN ISNULL(@lWeightInGrams,0)
                            WHEN @iToUOM = 14 THEN (ISNULL(@lWeightInGrams,0)/453.5924)
                            WHEN @iToUOM = 15 THEN (ISNULL(@lWeightInGrams,0) / 28.3495 )
                            ELSE (ISNULL(@lWeightInGrams,0)/453.5924)
                            END
RETURN @lConvertedWeight

Example function call

dbo.GetConvertedWeight(dbo.Tasks.netWeight, dbo.Tasks.weightUOM, 14) AS netWeight

Nope. What you'll want is an OLE DB Command to do that. Send the results to an Output Column, and life should be peachy keen for you--at least with regards to SSIS.
