- Description
- Cobalt Source Reload This request for information/sources sought announcement is issued to identify potential sources and gather information on current capabilities within the market. The Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program is considering a purchase of a Cobalt Source Reload. This procurement is to reload the Cobalt 60 (Co-60) source in our Gamma Irraadiator. The Co-60 source capsule is utilized in a J.L. Shepherd & Associates Model 81-22 High Intensity Gamma Radiation Calibrator. This calibrator is used to calibrate high intensity radiation survey meters and dosimeters. The Contractor shall install a Shepherd Model 7810 or equivalent capsule of 1000 Curies (Ci) activity in the 81-22 after having removed a Shepherd Model 7810 capsule of approximately 450 Ci. The Contractor shall then perform one-point calibrations of the calibrator using a source-to¬detector distance of one meter to certify the nominal activities. The removed capsule must be properly decommissioned, packaged, and transported to the Contractor's facility for recycling. All operations involving the handling of radioactive materials shall be performed by properly trained and licensed Contractor personnel. This work shall be performed on site at the RADIAC Lab at COATC. The total estimated quantity is 1 Unit(s). Surplus or used material is not acceptable for this item. Offerors responding to this sources sought market research must (1) state whether they are a small or large business and indicate if your company is a small disadvantage or woman-owned business, 8(a) firm, or a historically black college or university or minority institution (HBCU/MI), or a historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small business; (2) advise what the longest period of time is that you can hold the quoted price; (3) advise if you have the item on a GSA schedule or other Government contract; (4) provide information concerning the technical capabilities of the product you are interested in offering, including commercial literature/brochures; (5) advise if you accept the Government purchase card; (6) any other pertinent information which would enable the government to assess your firm's capabilities; (7) provide point of contact and assigned Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code; (9) advise how much time you would need to submit a technical proposal once the solicitation is issued; (10) provide an estimated price for one each of the unit you would be offering.
