Radioactive Materials Identification and Marking

The contract requires the identification, documentation, and precise labeling of solenoid components that contain radioactive materials exceeding 0.01 microcuries per item, ensuring all such items are accurately tracked and marked in compliance with regulatory standards. This effort is critical for safety, regulatory adherence, and supply chain integrity, particularly within defense-related systems where radioactive components must be clearly identified to prevent mishandling or exposure risks. The work is to be performed under a total small business set-aside, reserved exclusively for small businesses as defined by the SBA, and falls under the NAICS code 541380, which covers other scientific and technical consulting services. This subcontract is issued by the Department of Defense through the Maritime Supply Chain office and is set to close for responses on August 6, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 22, 2026. There is no specified place of performance or office address provided, indicating flexibility in where the work may be conducted, though performance must align with DoD requirements. The work demands technical precision in detecting low-level radioactive content in solenoids and documenting findings with complete traceability, requiring specialized equipment and expertise in radiation detection and materials labeling protocols.
