- Description
- The Coast Guard(CG) RFQ DTCG23-03-Q-OPD02 for gamma neutron pagers has been revised as follows. The CG has a requirement for lightweight detectors capable of detecting both gamma rays and neutron emissions. The primary intended use of these detectors is to serve as personnel protective equipment (PPE) for CG personnel while conducting CG missions. The projected operating environment includes extremely harsh maritime conditions as well as many different types of vessels including but not limited to cargo (break-bulk, bulk, container, etc.), passenger, fishing, and private recreational vessels. The salient characteristics are as follows: 1. Physical Characteristics: 1.1. Nine oz or less (including battery), 1.2. Small lightweight, compact, ?pager? type/sized, 1.3. No sharp edges, 1.4. Belt clip, shock-resistant plastic case (drop test from 28 inches (0.7m) on concrete), 1.4.1. Ballistic nylon pouch suitable for wear on standard law enforcement equipment belt, 1.5. Three-way alarm-visually, audibly, and with vibration, 1.6. Power supply ? non-rechargeable battery, 1.6.1 Battery lifetime ? greater than 700 hours; 2. Display/Interfaces/Logging: 2.1. Easy to read LCD, with manually activated backlight, 2.2. Continuous display of gamma radiation and neutron detected any alarm information, 2.3. Alarm information, 2.3.1. Programmable set-points, 2.3.2. Alarm level encountered, 2.4. Data logging and downloadable; 3. Sensor: 3.1. Detect gamma radiation in the working maritime environment, 3.2. Detect neutrons in the working maritime environment, 3.3. Sensitivity: minimum 1000 counts per second per milli-Rem/Hour, 3.4. Response Time-< 1 second, 3.5. Environmental constraints, 3.5.1. Temperature Range (greater than or equal): -10? F to 110? F, 3.5.2. Humidity Range (greater than or equal): 0% to 95 % relative humidity at 95? F; 4. Lifespan/Maintenance/Warranty: 4.1. Sensor to function for minimum of two years, 4.2. Zero maintenance other than battery change out, 4.3. Desired warranty is two years, 5. Standards: 5.1. Meets Illicit Trafficking Radiation Assessment Program (ITRAP) requirements for pocket type and handheld instruments, 5.2. Manufacturer must be ISO 9000/9001 certified, 5.3. Water Resistant to IP67, 5.4. EMI Resistant; 6. Physical Characteristics: 6.1. Small and non-bulky for inclusion in boarding equipment, minimize interferences, 6.2. Should not be able to catch on obstructions while transiting through a vessel, 6.3. Easily attach to any part of uniform ? belt, cuff, coverall pocket, etc., 6.4. When viewed by others should be quickly recognizable as safety equipment, 6.5. Alarms should be easily seen & heard?even with hearing protection?by user and other around them; should be able to felt if in a pocket, 6.6. Given the working environment, the monitors must be specifically approved for use in detecting illicit radiological products and must be water, impact, and EMI resistant; 7. Display/Interfaces/Logging: 7.1. Users should be able to quickly determine any alarm status, what those alarm levels are, and quickly check all necessary parameters with a single button, 7.2. If an alarm event occurs, details should be available for further analysis if needed. This information should be available off a memory chip or via download from infrared port.; 8. Sensor: Monitor must detect both gamma and neutron emissions, 8.1. Sensor intended for use as personnel protective equipment, 8.2. Must meet requirement of hands free operation, 8.3. CG personnel ranging from highly skilled technical experts to our least experience most junior personnel will use this sensor. The training required to proficiently operate the sensor must be of minimal impact to the CG.; 9. Lifespan/Maintenance/Warranty: 9.1. Warranty two years or commercial, 9.2. Users should be able to pick up the monitor, use it, only replace batteries and not have to worry about maintenance such as calibration or replacement of sensors, 9.3. CG desires that the pagers on the shelf ready to use for a maximum one year before starting the two-year warranty window. At a minimum your quote should clearly show that your product meets the CG requirement and should include any data or test results detailing its performance in a maritime environment. Include any other information you find necessary and pertinent to your quote. As stated in Amendment 03 the date and time for receipt of quotes is July 31, 2003 by 2:00 PM EST. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
