The KM200 is a high-efficiency pre-amplifier developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory as a direct replacement for the discontinued Amptek A-111, specifically engineered for nuclear safeguards, radiation detection, and material accountability applications. Designed with advanced bipolar shaper and discriminator circuitry, it eliminates double pulsing, reduces noise, and maintains signal integrity at high count rates, delivering a tenfold improvement in throughput compared to legacy systems. Its configurable design supports integration with multiple detector types, enabling stable performance across diverse environments including high-pressure or slow gas admixture conditions, and allows for denser detector layouts without compromising accuracy. Protected under U.S. Patent No. 10,422,896 and validated at Technology Readiness Level 6, the KM200 is optimized for seamless drop-in replacement in existing systems while enhancing measurement resolution and neutron detection efficiency. Marketed for licensing to radiation detection manufacturers, instrumentation companies, and system integrators, it serves critical applications in nuclear safeguards, medical imaging such as PET and SPECT, border security, emergency response, industrial non-destructive testing, research laboratories, and space-based cosmic ray detection. The opportunity for licensing the KM200 is publicly solicited under S-133140 by Triad, the Department of Energy contractor, with responses due by July 15, 2026, and submissions accepted exclusively via email to [email hidden]. While the notice does not include procurement-specific clauses, pricing details, delivery schedules, or inspection criteria—consistent with its classification as a technology transfer opportunity rather than a government contract—it emphasizes commercialization through exclusive or non-exclusive licensing agreements. Performance of the technology development and licensing activities is centered at Los Alamos, New Mexico, with administrative support managed from Columbus, Ohio. The technology is not subject to set-aside requirements, and no specific socioeconomic certifications or entity registrations like UEI or CAGE codes are required from potential licensees. Interested parties are encouraged to engage directly with LANL’s Feynman Center to explore licensing pathways, with no formal proposal formats, page limits, or structured evaluation factors mandated, reflecting the non-procurement, partnership-driven nature of the initiative.
