Verbal questions will NOT be accepted. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION In accordance with Title 10 and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, Analytical Services Division (USAFSAM/OEA) uses the Panasonic UD-802-AT Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) for determining personnel dose to ionizing radiation as a direct result of employment with the USAF. USAFSAM/OEA has a requirement for the procurement of 10,000 Panasonic UD-802AT TLDs to maintain a viable inventory in the USAF Radiation Dosimetry Program, and thus ensure continued surveillance of radiation dose to personnel as directed by federal law. REQUIREMENTS At a minimum, the contractor will provide 10,000 new Panasonic UD-802AT TLD badges starting with sequence number 1710001 with the following specifications: 1.Four phosphor element TLD; two elements of Li2B4O7: Cu and two of CaSO4: Tm. 2.The first element is Li2B4O7: Cu and is shielded by 18 mg/cm2 of Mylar®. 3.The second and third elements, Li2B4O7: Cu and CaSO4: Tm, respectively, are shielded by approximately 360 mg/cm2 plastic. 4.The fourth element is CaSO4: Tm and is shielded by approximately 1,040 mg/cm2 of lead and plastic. 5.The vendor will be the sole authorized distributor of the TLDs by the manufacturer. 6.The provided TLDs must have a form-factor that is compatible with, and capable of being read within a Panasonic UD-7900 Automatic TLD reader, existing and currently in use. 7.Acceptance Criteria: The acceptance criteria for a TLD is based on the UD-7900 User's manual, ver. 2.0, dated 02-24-2014. However, the criteria used by the USAF Radiation Dosimetry Program is somewhat broader. The % CV (coefficient of variation) limit is 8%. If a TLD element has a variation greater than 8% after three replicate irradiations, then the TLD fails since a single element within a TLD cannot be replaced. A second acceptance criteria is the Element Correction Factor (ECF). The absolute values of the ECF must be between 0.5 and 2.0. If the average ECF of a TLD element, after three replicate irradiations, is less than 0.5 or exceeds 2.0, then the TLD fails as an individual element cannot be replaced. 95% of the production lot should meet the acceptance criteria.

Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that two or more small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the entire scope of the effort, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. The clause reads, in part, as follows: "Limitations on Subcontracting (Nov 2011)... (c) By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract in the case of a contract for - (1) Services (except construction). At least 50 percent of the cost of contract Performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern... ". Provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, etc. If subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated and previous experience in teaming must be provided. ATTENTION all potential respondents: The acquisition strategy for this program has not been finalized. If this acquisition is not set aside for small business, it is anticipated that the contract may contain a small business utilization requirement. Please provide feedback on the requirement and what areas are likely candidates for SB subcontracting. Part II. Capability Survey Questions 1.Is your firm registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), formally known as Central Contractor Registration (CCR)?
