- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with information included in the notice. The announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number M67004-03-R-0051 applies and is issued as a Request for Proposals. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 01-08. Any responsible source may submit an offer. NAICS 334517, SIC 3821, and size 500 apply. This is a Firm Fixed Price effort for four contract line items as follows. Line Item 0001: Multi-sourced Gamma beam irradiator for the calibration of radiation survey meters. Each source must be allowed to emit radioactive events individually. The sources must be c ontained within a shielded enclosure and controlled from a remote location. Radioactive sources need to provide a collimated calibration beam with 3 radioactive quantities, 20 millicuries, 10 Curies and 130 Curies. All source quantities shall be within +/- 20% of Cesium 137, (Cs-137), with a documented overall isotopic content of Cesium 134, (Cs-134) of less than 1 percent. The Shielded Enclosure will contain all radioactive emissions to below 1mR/h no less than 12 inches from the outer casing in accordance with the Marine Corps Radiological Controls Safety Office. The Safety Interlock System of the irradiator must be designed so that the source is immediately returned to a safe (shielded) position whenever a procedural error or abnormal operational condition occurs. In addition to the three sources previously listed above additional source-holding placeholders are desired f or future expansion capability. A motor controlled three axis precision positioning and alignment system must be part of the calibrator to allow for measurements to be taken along the path of the radiation beam at various distances from the source +/- 1 mm at any point on the range track. The X-axis must provide a range of motion of 25-400 cm from the source, the Y-axis must provide adjustment capability of 1 meter range to the right and left of the center of the beam, and the Z-axis must have a 30 cm adjustable range up and down. The system must include a method for real-time viewing, (closed circuit camera), of the instrument readings of the instrument that is being calibrated. A Software Controlled Calibration System shall be provided and installed to allow for remote control of the irradiator from a protected (shielded) location. The offerer shall at a minimum operate un der a Quality program commensurate with ANSI Standard NQA-1 Quality Assurance Plan.Line Item 0002: Delivery within 180 days or sooner from date of award in the Marine Corps Radiation Detection, Indication and Computation (RADIAC) Calibration Laboratories located in: Albany, GA, (Quantity =1) and Barstow, CA (Quantity =2). Line Item 0003: A minimum of one-year express warranty covering all repair parts and labor required to correct all defective equipment, parts, or installation errors. Line Item 0004: User training and installation per manufacturer specifications for item 0001. Training shall be provided to laboratory personnel at 1. Marine Corps Logistics Command, Albany, GA; 2.
