Sodium Iodide Gamma Ray Detectors

The Naval Research Laboratory plans to award a sole source contract to Alpha-Spectra, Inc. for the supply of one hundred ruggedized Model Number 16D16X8/3.5B Sodium Iodide gamma-ray detectors. These detectors must be designed to withstand vibration conditions equivalent to those experienced by a non-air ride US highway truck, per MIL-STD-810F standards, without any loss in energy resolution. While this contract is not open to full competition, other vendors who believe they can meet the specified requirements are invited to submit detailed evidence, including test results or other verifiable documentation, demonstrating their equipment's compliance with the vibration standards. Such submissions must be received within 15 days of the announcement, or they will not be considered. The solicitation, identified by the number N00173-08-R-RS05 and posted on June 6, 2008, falls under NAICS code 334519. The procurement is managed by the Naval Research Laboratory, with Richard D. Sewell serving as Contract Specialist and Patricia A. Lewis as Contracting Officer, both reachable via provided contact information. While the contract place of performance and agency details are unspecified, interested parties should focus on the technical qualifications and timely submission of documentation to be considered for participation in this procurement.
