Mirion Germanium Detector and Cryostat Replacement

The contract seeks a Germanium Detector and Cryostat Replacement under a total small business set-aside, identified by solicitation number HU0001QE024 and issued by the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland. The solicitation is open for responses through July 27, 2026, and follows simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13, with an anticipated firm fixed-price contract award based on best value rather than lowest price technically acceptable. The requirement is for a single unit, and while no pricing data is provided, the procurement is justified under the $25,000 simplified acquisition threshold. The scope centers on delivering a replacement detector and cryostat system fully compliant with Department of Defense unique item identification standards, including application of a permanent two-dimensional Data Matrix UID per MIL-STD-130, with all data registered in the DoD IUID Registry and shipment labeling conforming to MIL-STD-129. Data encoding must comply with ISO/IEC 16022, ISO/IEC 15434, and ISO/IEC 15418, and the item must be marked with enterprise identifier, serial number, and part/lot information. The contract incorporates numerous federal acquisition regulation clauses covering ethics, supply chain security, labor, and reporting obligations. Key provisions include prohibitions on acquiring telecommunications equipment from covered entities, restrictions on business with the Maduro regime and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, requirements to inform employees of whistleblower protections, mandates for equal opportunity and anti-trafficking policies, and compliance with sustainable products directives. The contracting officer’s representative and contracting officer contact details are blank, and full payment processing will be conducted exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow using approved document types such as invoices with receiving reports. Acceptance is performed at a designated DoDAAC in Bethesda, Maryland, with performance based on meeting technical specifications, quality control, and on-time delivery. Offerors must submit UEI and CAGE codes and affirm representations regarding covered equipment, foreign sourcing, and security restrictions, though no completed certifications are included. Evaluation will consider technical approach, past performance through SPRS and CPARS, and price reasonableness without assigned weights, allowing for trade-offs among factors. Packaging, preservation, and marking details are partially defined, with all items required to meet military marking standards regardless of explicit instructions on environmental or cushioning methods in the document.
