Radiation Detection Instrumentation Calibration & Repair Services Needed

The solicitation number 40-00000-24-00057 issued by the Environment Department of New Mexico seeks vendors to provide radiation detection instrumentation calibration and repair services within the state. The contract covers a comprehensive range of calibration services for radiation detection devices primarily from manufacturers such as Ludlum, Thermo Fisher, Johnson, and Victoreen. The scope includes calibrating various models of survey meters, detectors, isotope identifiers, and ancillary equipment, with quantities specified for each item (e.g., 200 units for Ludlum 14C calibrations, 100 units for Victoreen 190 Series). Repair services are offered on an as-needed basis at an hourly rate of $160, with parts billed at full list price without discount. Performance metrics focus on the timely completion of calibration and repair work to ensure compliance with industry-standard radiation safety practices. Bids were opened on April 26, 2024, with tabulations showing submissions from companies including Advetage Solutions LLC and Ludlum Measurements, Inc. Payment terms are generally Net 30, and all deliveries are FOB destination within New Mexico, indicating vendor responsibility until receipt by the government at the place of performance. Pricing varies by device type, with calibration unit costs ranging from approximately $110 to $425 depending on instrument complexity, and optional fees such as gas recharge or additional detector calibrations apply. The estimated contract value for the base period, excluding non-bid items, is roughly $119,000, potentially rising to about $126,000 when including maximum option add-ons. The solicitation does not contain formal FAR or DFARS clauses, security clearance requirements, or established evaluation factors, but appears to rely on a lowest price technically acceptable award approach. The documentation lacks explicit requirements regarding packaging, markings, invoicing procedures, or special contract terms. Overall, this procurement aims to maintain and verify the accuracy of critical radiation detection instruments necessary for environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance in New Mexico.
