The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) anticipates awarding a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to DME Corporation of Orlando, Florida on a sole source basis for enhancements to Radionuclide Aerosol Sampler/Analyzer (RASA) testbed systems leading to Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) certification. The effort will also require the development and installation of an enhanced RASA testbed system in Charlottesville, Virginia. The developments will be explicitly tied to furthering the U.S. Government's capability to monitor underground nuclear tests. DME Corporation is uniquely qualified for this acquisition based on expertise they have developed that will enhance development and implementation of RASA system capability upgrades to meet CTBTO certification requirements. RASA was developed by a team of researchers at DME Corporation in conjunction with the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The anticipated award will involve a five-month period of performance. Posted 03/01/00 (W-SN429893). (0061)
