Joint Personal Dosimeter- Individual

FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY Description Sources Sought Joint Personal Dosimeter-Individual (JPN-IND) NAICS Code: 334519- Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing SYNOPSIS: The Joint Project Leader for Radiological Nuclear Defense (JPL-RND) is posting this Sources Sought for market research, and planning purposes. This is not a solicitation or a Request for Proposal (RFP). Responses to this Sources Sought are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. It is not to be construed as a commit by the Government and the Government will not pay for any cost incurred for the feedback provided. No solicitation documentation or bid package exists, and there is no guarantee that a solicitation will be issued as a result of this Sources Sought. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide any comments to respondents with respect to any feedback submitted. Response to this Sources Sought is strictly voluntary and will not affect future ability to submit an offer if a solicitation is released. Additionally, the JPL-RND is issuing this Sources Sought to receive feedback from industry regarding the attached White Paper for the JPD-IND. 1. Background: The Joint Personal Dosimeter- Individual JPD-IND will allow the Warfighter to gain a better understanding of the radiological and nuclear environment through detection capabilities that provide determination of absorbed dose and equivalent dose that an individual Warfighter may receive from exposure to ionizing radiation. This will allow the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) to mitigate risks to enable mission accomplishment. The JPD-IND is a dosimeter that will allow the determination and recording of the absorbed dose an Individual Service member receives from exposure to ionizing radiation. The JPD-IND will be able to transfer data through Near Field Communication (NFC) and will be able to calculate the absorbed dose. Ultimately, this information will be sent to the Army Dosimetry Center (ADC). The dosimeter will be capable of achieving National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) Accreditation in order to use the dose information for the Service member's Medical Record as the official dose of record. Furthermore, the JPD-IND will allow determination of the Radiation Exposure Status (RES) for each individual and/or unit. 2. Objective: The objective of this Sources Sought is to establish an understanding of the operational needs of the product based upon notional requirements set forth in the attached "White Paper". Each Respondent shall review the attached White Paper and provide feedback indicating if their dosimeter can or cannot meet the notional requirements. In the event that the dosimeter cannot currently meet the notional requirements, but is intended to meet these requirements in the future, the Respondent shall provide the specified timeline for meeting. Feedback shall be presented in the excel spreadsheet provided. Each product submission shall include; 1) Proposed System Description, 2) completed Self-Assessment 3) comments relating to the notional requirements. The JPD-IND White Paper is marked as Distribution Statement C for Administrative or Operational Use. As a result, distribution is authorized to US Government Agencies and their contractors through FEDBizOpps. 3. Submission and criteria: This Sources Sought seeks mature Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) JPD-INDs. Respondents shall provide the following information on each proposed JPD-IND NLT TBD: - The Respondents name, address, email and telephone number. - NAICS Code - A brief description and development history of the JPD-IND, to include the number of units sold as of the date of the submission - Calibration requirements, including recommended time between calibrations, ease of calibration and cost of calibration, if applicable. - The suggested per unit price of the system as commercially sold to include warranty cost and price breaks for quantity, if applicable. - A completed copy of the attached self-assessment template - Ability to meet the notional test requirements in the attached white paper. - The estimated Technology Readiness Level of the proposed system - Data rights included (i.e. Intellectual Property of Software) 4. Special Notices Any Respondent wishing to enter into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) shall state so in their response to the RFI. The Government Contracting Office will coordinate the transfer of the NDA. JPL-RND will utilize support contractors to review the Sources Sought feedback.
