- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE; there is no solicitation available at this time. No response will be provided to requests for a solicitation. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS PUBLISHED FOR MARKET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) seeks potential sources for the development of nuclear radiation detectors that use Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) as the detection medium for gamma-ray spectroscopy. It is desired that an existing CZT production capability has been demonstrated through prior sales. In the short term, DTRA seeks to advance the production capability for CZT towards large, single crystals at a minimum size 10 cubic centimeters with gamma spectral resolution of 1% or better at 663 keV. A measurable response to gamma rays up to 3 MeV is highly desired. The long-term DTRA goal is single CZT crystals of at least 100 cubic centimeters with similar spectral resolution. In order to make progress towards this goal, it is desired that a vendor have excess CZT production capacity that could be devoted to research and development on modified production processes. Sources sought responses shall reflect corporate information and a capability summary reflecting experience related to the above area. Responses are to be limited to no more than five pages. Company information should include qualifications and experience in work of this nature, point of contact, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, CAGE code, DUNS Number, business size, and small business classification (8(a), HUBZone, etc.), if applicable. Any information submitted in response to this Sources Sought Notice is strictly voluntary. This synopsis is for information planning purposes and the Government will not pay or otherwise reimburse respondents for information submitted. Responses shall be submitted no later than 2:00pm EDT on 29 March 2007. Electronic responses are recommended and encouraged, and shall be submitted to Ms. Elizabeth Braxton at elizabeth.braxton@dtra.mil. Non-electronic responses, though not preferred, may be submitted via facsimile to 703.767.4441 to the attention of Ms. Elizabeth Braxton. All documentation shall become the property of the Government. Unless otherwise stated herein, no additional information is available. Requests for the same will be disregarded. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, to make award or awards, or to be responsible for any monies expended by any interested parties in support of any effort in response to this Sources Sought Notice. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit or award a contract.
