All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary, and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government.

 

The Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is FA2521-17-Q-B253 shall be used to reference any written responses to this source sought.

 

Patrick Air Force Base anticipates a requirement that is being considered under a small business set-aside program.  The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed 541380.  The size standard for NAICS is  $15M  

 

The requirement is to provide radioactive calibration sources and standards consisting of various concentrations of a mixed gamma, alpha, and beta emitting radionuclides (Sr-85, Sr-89, Pb-210, Cd-109, Co-57, Ce-139, Hg-203, Sn-113, Cs-137, Y-88, Co-60, Am-241, Mn-54, Zn-65, Np-237, Cm-244, Fe-55, and other radionuclide sources) that have been deposited on various media (filter paper, liquid, electroplated disks) and in unique geometries (configurations).

 


Salient Characteristics: 

 

All sources must be certified and traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards.

Include in your capabilities package your DUNS, Cage Code, System for Award Management expiration date, GSA contract number and expiration (if applicable), and any related specifications/drawings.

 

NOTE:  RESPONSES TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SHALL STATE IF THEY ARE A SUPPLIER OR MANUFACTURER!

 

What is the purpose of the item(s):  To identify radioactive calibration sources consisting of various concentrations of mixed gamma, alpha and beta emitting radionuclides that have been deposited on various media (filter paper, liquid, electroplated disks) and unique geometries (configurations).

 

45 CONS is interested in any size business that is capable of meeting this requirement.

 

Market research is being conducted to determine interest, capability, and socio-economic category of potential sources for the requirement.
