This subcontract requires the responsible party to conduct thorough evaluations to detect the presence of radioactive substances in equipment, components, or supplies, and to ensure that any findings above the regulatory limits are clearly communicated through appropriate documentation and physical labels as mandated by military specifications. The work must be performed in compliance with federal and defense-specific safety and handling protocols to prevent exposure and ensure traceability throughout the supply chain. The solicitation, issued under NAICS Code 541620 by the Nuclear Reactor Program within the Department of Defense, is posted for response by August 10, 2026, with performance centered at New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, ZIP 17070-5002. Although no set-aside designation or point of contact is provided, interested parties must adhere to the technical and procedural requirements outlined in MIL-STD-129 for labeling, including format, content, and placement of radioactive material identifiers.
