- Description
- ICAM ACID RESISTANT DUAL DETECTOR AND ACCESSORIES TITLE: Sources Sought Notice FDA SS-1171833 This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability of potential small businesses (e.g., 8(a), service-disabled veteran owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, veteran-owned small business, and women-owned small business) in accordance with FAR 7.104(d). The potential small business will need to demonstrate the capability to perform all facets of the work described below. The sole intent of this Sources Sought Notice is to obtain capabilities for set-aside and procurement planning purposes. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This is not an invitation for bid, request for proposal, or other solicitation, and in no way obligates the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to award a contract. BACKGROUND: The Food and Drug Administration's Office of Acquisitions and Grants Services have a requirement for service maintenance agreement with four option years for the following: • ICAM ACID RESISTANT DUAL DETECTOR AND ACCESSORIES Essential Characteristics required: Specifications: Measurement Requirements • Capable of detecting concentrations of 10% less than those listed in Table 2, Column 1, of Appendix B to Title 10, Part 20, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 20), "Standards for Protection Against Radiation" for the following scope radionuclides Sr-90, I-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Pu-238, Pu-239, Ru-103, and Ru-106. • Continuous monitoring of both alpha and beta activity in air • Alpha MCA spectroscopy and separate beta discrimination • Capable of detecting low energy beta emitters • Automatic adaptive spectrometric compensation for radon and thoron • Static gamma background compensation with single detector • Includes discharge rates for duct/stack monitoring • Three activity levels for primary alarms Engineering Requirements • Acid resistant and suitable to measure acid fume hood effluents • Removable filters that can be analyzed on other instrumentation (liquid Scintillation counting, gas/gasless proportional counters, gamma spectrometers). Different types of filters can be installed for low level alpha beta and radioiodine analysis. Instrument automatically turns over during filter change • Additional filter cartridges can be installed in the sampling line without interfering with the instrument • Automatic self-initialization and operation on power on • Electronic air flow rate measurement, with high and low flow alarms • Continuous total airflow recording and reporting • User-set alarms with local and remote reporting • Simple/automated checks for calibration, gain and spectrum shape • Software package for configuration by local computer or via a network • Fault diagnostics show on the local display and across the network • One-week data storage with detailed event log • Data is RS-232 and RS-485 transferable to Microsoft® Excel • Thirty minute protection of full functionality by built-in battery backup • Five years protection of configuration memory • Must be Wall mountable (light and compact design) • Must have all the required facilities for alpha and beta monitoring, alarms, data logging, communications and setup • adaptive algorithms, for fast, accurate alarms, resulting in high levels of protection and low false alarm rates • Adaptive spectrometry algorithms and automated checks for high tolerance to variations in background conditions and extended time between filter changes Please provide the follow Business information: 1. DUNS Number 2. Company Name 3. Company Address. 4. Company Point of Contact, phone number and email address 5. Type of company under NAICS, as validated via the System for Award Management (SAM).
