- Description
- A. General Information This is a source sought notice. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting market research to determine the range of available small business contractors capable of performing specific work requirements discussed below in section C. This is not an invitation for bid, request for quote or other solicitation and in no way obligates the Government to award a contract. The NRC will not pay for the information received in response to this source sought notice. If your organization has the potential capacity to perform the project requirements discussed in Section C, then your company is invited to submit a response. B. Project Background The RADionuclide Transport and Removal and Dose Estimation (RADTRAD) code can be used to assess occupational radiation exposures, typically in the control room; to estimate site boundary doses; and to estimate dose attenuation due to modification of a facility or accident sequence. RADTRAD, originally developed using the FORTRAN 77 language, had accumulated many problematic coding issues (bugs) over years of updates, patches and modifications. In an attempt to improve RADTRAD's maintainability, remove platform and compiler dependencies, and add new features, RADTRAD was re-implemented in the JAVA language. The first JAVA-based version of RADTRAD was given version number 4.0. In addition, the old RADTRAD MS Visual Basic based graphical user interface (GUI) was replaced with Symbolic Nuclear Analysis Package (SNAP) based GUI. SNAP uses a plug-in based architecture that ‘wraps' all of the interfaces to an analytical code in a special file call a "SNAP plug-in". The new RADTRAD 4.0 as well as the new SNAP-RADTRAD 4.0 plug-in were validated in 2010-2011; a draft of the new combined user, validation, and theory manual is available. Feedback from users of RADTRAD 4.0 and the new SNAP-RADTRAD 4.0 user interface lead to various bug fixes as well as code and interface improvements. These improvements are present in the current version of RADTRAD: RADTRAD 4.4.0. Currently, a version of RADTRAD 4.4.x (and its corresponding SNAP GUI) is being evaluated by our staff; however, we need further support to finalize the code and code documentation. C. Project Requirements The specific tasks of this requirement are: (1) to identify and resolve any issues in SNAP-RADTRAD 4.0 plug-in; (2) to Address time-step-size dependency in RADTRAD 4.0 (3) to develop new RADTRAD models that test the new features that were added to RADTRAD 4.0 and subsequently validate and verify the RADTRAD 4.0 results against an engineering mathematical calculation tool (4) to develop a combined RADTRAD 4.0 User manual, Theory manual, and V&V documentation as a ready to publish NUREG/CR; and (5) to provide general support on an as-necessary basis. D. Procurement/Contract Strategy The NRC is may issue a cost plus fixed fee Request for Proposal (RFP), for an anticipated one-year base period of performance and 4 one-year option periods. E. Capability Statement Requirements The capability statement should at a minimum provide the following: 1. Your firm's capabilities and experience performing similar work as those task described in the Section C. The presentation should address corporate experience as well as personnel qualifications. In addition, the following questions shall be addressed. 2. Your company's business size with respect to NAICS code 541511 or a similar NAICS Code that you propose can be used for this requirement (i.e. small or other than small). If your company is a small business, what type of small business (i.e. small disadvantaged, woman, veteran, service-disabled veteran, 8(a), and HUBZone). 3. Does your firm provide services on the open market, GSA FSS, or on a GWAC contract? All proprietary presentation information shall be marked as such. The NRC will treat such materials appropriately, and will not distribute it to, or discuss it with, any other organization. Please note that this presentation is for market research purposes only, and any information received will be used solely to make an informed acquisition decision. The NRC does reserve the right to utilize any non-proprietary technical information in the anticipated SOW or solicitation. F. Submission All responses to this notice should only include responses to the questions presented in this notice. Responses in this notice will not be considered by NRC in developing its acquisition strategy. Responses to this notice shall be submitted so that they are received at dominique.malone@nrc.gov, no later than the closing date for this notice. If you have any questions, please contact me at this email address or call me at (301) 492-3613. Please be advised that the NRC will not respond directly to organizations submitting information in response to this Source Sought. The information received will be used solely to make informed acquisition decisions. Disclaimer: Responses to this Source Sought are not offers and cannot be accepted by NRC to form a binding contract.
