This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System Code is 811219 and the business size standard is $19.0 Million. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. The period of performance shall be twelve (12) months from date of award with one (1) twelve month option period. The Radiation Oncology Branch of the CCR treats cancer patients with radiation according to approved clinical protocols. One of the treatment modalities employed by ROB is brachytherapy. This employs an advanced, computer controlled device for positioning and moving a radioactive source in a controlled fashion. It also incorporates a specialized treatment planning system which translates the desired dose distribution into control functions which drive the treatment planning system. A service contract is required for service in the event of failure of any component of the HDR or the TPS. The purpose is a service agreement for the Nucletron Oncentra Workstation and mHDR-V2 remote afterloading system. Contractor shall provide all labor, material and equipment necessary to maintain and provide preventive maintenance for a government-owned Nucletron Oncentra Workstation (s/n 85512) and mHDR-V2 remote afterloading system (s/n 31253).

Service providers must meet strict regulations, must be specially trained, possess an NRC license to handle radioactive materials and the individual radioactive sources must be strictly accounted for. Nucletron is the only provider known to the NCI that can fully meet these requirements. For the aforementioned reasons, Nucletron Corp is the only known source for this requirement. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities.
