    Description

    The Department of Energy, through Fluor Marine Propulsion (FMP), is seeking proposals for the development of a Portable Small Article Monitor (PSAM) intended for shipboard use on nuclear vessels. The PSAM is required to replace manual frisking stations, featuring a modular design that is smaller and lighter than existing models, with specific dimensions and weight limitations to facilitate transport and operation. This device is critical for ensuring safety and compliance during servicing and maintenance at U.S. Navy shipyards, with performance specifications including the ability to detect 450 pCi of Co-60 in under 120 seconds and a user-friendly interface for operators. Proposals must be submitted by February 27, 2026, to ATIP@unnpp.gov, and should include a Quad Chart, narrative, and procurement documents, while adhering to ISO 9001:2008 quality standards. For further inquiries, interested parties may contact Jon Ruffley at Jonathan.Ruffley@unnpp.gov.

    25315 - TRD_PSAM_Shipyard_ORIGINAL.pdf
    The Naval Nuclear Laboratory (FMP) seeks a Portable Small Article Monitor (PSAM) for shipboard use, replacing manual frisking in nuclear vessels. The PSAM must be modular, smaller, and lighter than current models, with a total weight not exceeding 1200 lbs (ideally under 800 lbs) and external dimensions of 21.5" H x 24" W x 24" D. It must disassemble into segments, each weighing no more than 140 lbs (ideally under 100 lbs), for transport in watertight, rugged cases. The device needs to detect 450 pCi of Co-60 in under 120 seconds with a 95% probability of detection and a false alarm rate under 5%. It requires a simple user interface for general workers and a detailed interface for staff. Software must support data storage for at least one year without wireless communication or remote monitoring. The PSAM will be powered by 110-120V (60 Hz). The supplier is responsible for quality assurance, including a Test Plan and adherence to ISO 9001:2008. Key deliverables include the PSAM unit, O&M Manual, Calibration Procedure, Preliminary and Final Design Packages, and a Data Book. The project includes several meetings, such as Kickoff, Design Reviews, and an in-person Factory Acceptance Test.
