Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies Company (LMITCO), P.O. Box 1625 Idaho Falls, ID 83415-2210. Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies Company (LMITCO), the prime Management and Operating contractor for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The DOE Mixed Waste Focus Area has directed LMITCO to make available a number of specially designed box/crate waste matrix surrogates. This availability is intended but not limited to commercial suppliers of nondestructive assay equipment and systems. Two sizes of box/crate waste matrix surrogates will be made available by this offering (B-25 and standard waste box designs). The intent of this offer is to foster box/crate nondestructive assay system development by providing crate waste matrix surrogates with characteristics representative of DOE stored waste. A B-25 crate combustibles surrogate is currently available and a SWB combustibles surrogate will be available after the first of calendar year 1999. These crate surrogates will be provided on a scheduled basis at no cost to the Federal Government. The DOE reserves the right of first priority for the use of these surrogates and will determine the schedule of their availability. Interested commercial parties will need to provide a written expression of interest to LMITCO. On notification of surrogate availability, the requesting commercial party will need to provide to LMITCO payment for the following costs which will be provided to the commercial party in advance of notification: 1) labor and materials costs associated with preparation of crate surrogate for shipment to host, 2) shipment of surrogate from Idaho Falls to host site, 3) labor for training of host personnel to use and configure the surrogate, and 4) return shipment of surrogate from host site to Idaho Falls. In addition to payment of costs, the requesting commercial party will need to provide to LMITCO proof that an insurance policy has been procured to reimburse LMITCO for full cost of the surrogate (estimated value is $40,000) in the event that the box/crate is damaged or destroyed while in transit or at host location. Further, the requesting commercial party is to provide to LMITCO a guarantee that surrogate will not be exposed to weather elements at any time the box/crate is in their possession. This is not an opportunity to provide goods or services to LMITCO or the Department of Energy. Organizations with interest in using these surrogates are asked to address their written request to Michael E. McIlwain, LMITCO, P.O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-2210.
