Shielded Enclosure or Lab Modification

The contract requires the installation of lead or steel radiation shielding, vibration-dampening tables, and environmental control systems to ensure optimal performance of high-purity germanium detectors. These elements are essential for minimizing electromagnetic interference, thermal fluctuations, and mechanical vibrations that can compromise the accuracy and sensitivity of radiation detection equipment. The work is to be performed at a facility in Bethesda, Maryland, with a zip code of 20814, indicating the location is likely within or near a federal or defense-affiliated research campus. The project is classified under NAICS code 238990, which covers other specialized construction activities, suggesting structural or facility modifications rather than standard construction.

The solicitation was posted on April 28, 2026, providing potential vendors approximately three weeks to prepare and submit proposals. There is no set-aside designation specified, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible contractors regardless of business size or ownership characteristics.
