Lead Brick Cave (3-Wall) Supply

The contract entails the supply of a custom 2-inch lead brick cave featuring three walls, designed specifically for modular radiation shielding in nuclear medicine laboratory environments. The shielding structure is engineered to provide reliable containment of ionizing radiation, ensuring compliance with safety standards in facilities handling radioactive materials for medical diagnostics and treatment. The lead bricks are to be manufactured to precise dimensional and density specifications to ensure structural integrity, ease of assembly, and optimal radiation attenuation without gaps or inconsistencies. This subcontract opportunity, issued under NAICS code 339999 for other miscellaneous manufacturing, is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 245-NETWORK Contract Office 5. The solicitation was posted on August 7, 2026, with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, at 4:00 PM. The place of performance and exact delivery location are unspecified, indicating flexibility in logistics, though the equipment must be ready for deployment in VA-affiliated nuclear medicine labs. Bidders must be prepared to meet stringent quality controls for radiation shielding materials and provide documentation verifying material composition, lead equivalence, and compliance with relevant nuclear safety regulations.
