SOURCES SOUGHT: THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL BUT INFORMATION AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY! This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary, and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is FA2521-17-Q-B253 shall be used to reference any written responses to this source sought. Patrick Air Force Base anticipates a requirement that is being considered under a small business set-aside program. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed 541380. The size standard for NAICS is $15M The requirement is to provide radioactive calibration sources and standards consisting of various concentrations of a mixed gamma, alpha, and beta emitting radionuclides (Sr-85, Sr-89, Pb-210, Cd-109, Co-57, Ce-139, Hg-203, Sn-113, Cs-137, Y-88, Co-60, Am-241, Mn-54, Zn-65, Np-237, Cm-244, Fe-55, and other radionuclide sources) that have been deposited on various media (filter paper, liquid, electroplated disks) and in unique geometries (configurations). Salient Characteristics: All sources must be certified and traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards.

NOTE: RESPONSES TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SHALL STATE IF THEY ARE A SUPPLIER OR MANUFACTURER! What is the purpose of the item(s): To identify radioactive calibration sources consisting of various concentrations of mixed gamma, alpha and beta emitting radionuclides that have been deposited on various media (filter paper, liquid, electroplated disks) and unique geometries (configurations). 45 CONS is interested in any size business that is capable of meeting this requirement. Market research is being conducted to determine interest, capability, and socio-economic category of potential sources for the requirement. The government requests interested parties submit a brief description of their company's business size (i.e. annual revenues and employee size), business status (i.e., 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zone, or SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB, or small business) anticipated teaming arrangements, and a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. The Government will use this information in determining its small business set-aside decision." As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. The decision to solicit for a contract shall be solely within the Government's discretion. All interested firms shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates company capabilities-indicating examples of commercial sales-and product specifications related to this effort. Also indicate if you are the manufacturer, or provide the name and size of the manufacturer of the product(s) you will be supplying. Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated us of foreign national employees on this effort. Please note: All contractors doing business with the Federal Government must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. The website for registration is www.sam.gov. Responses may be submitted electronically to the following e-mail address: 45cons.lgcb.e-bids@us.af.mil; by mail to 45 CONS/LGCB, Attn: FA2521-17-Q-B253,1201 Edward H. White II Street, Bldg. 423, Room N206A, Patrick AFB, FL 32925-3238. Telephone responses will not be accepted. Future information about this acquisition, including issuance of a solicitation and/or applicable amendments, will be issued through FedBizOpps.
