- Description
- Notice of intent to award a sole source procurement. The Government intends to issue a sole source purchase order to acquire a germanium gamma-ray detector system inclusive of detector and associated hardware and software, including gamma analysis software, efficiency calculation software, and laboratory analytical/operations support services to Advanced Measurement Technology (AMETEK), located at 801 South Illinois Avenue, Oak Ridge, TN 37831. The total value is approximately $61,610.00. The system is being acquired for the purpose of providing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security National Urban Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) analytical and operations support services in its role as technical advisor for the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The system will assist NUSTL in identifying the radionuclides present in air filters or other samples collected by the DOHMH during routine environmental surveillance and in the event of a radiological accident or terrorist attack. The detector system will also be used to confirm other government and private laboratories analysis of environmental samples following an event. This acquisition is critical in supporting the NUSTL mission and in ensuring NUSTL's compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) directives. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement was made because AMETEK is the only source that can provide this detector system due to their system's ability to generate efficiency calibrations for any detector without time consuming factory characterizations which would entail weeks of down time.. This procurement must be completed in a timely manner to meet mission requirements. Questions should be directed to Michael Jones in writing via e-mail: michael..jones@hq.dhs.gov or by facsimile 202-254-6739.
