L -- TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE SERVICES POC Contact: Yvette Brown, Contract Specialist, 301-415-6507 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission intends to enter into a sole source purchase order with the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) to develop an NCRP recommendation regarding the technical and health implications of using the NCRP recommended DRP dose limit of 50 rads averaged over the highest exposed 10 square centimeters, as a unified limit for all shallow dose equivalents to the skin. The primary reason for selecting the NCRP is for them to develop an addendum to their recently published Report No. 130, "Biological Effects and Exposure Limits for Hot Particles." The period of performance will be for nine months from purchase order award. A request for quotation does not exist. Interested respondents must submit a written capability statement, to the address listed above, including technical information sufficient to demonstrate their ability to meet this requirement, by close of business May 22, 2000. Telephonic responses will not be considered. Responses providing insufficient information for evaluation will also not be considered. See Numbered Note 22. Posted 04/07/00 (W-SN442633). (0098)
