    The Statement of Work outlines the requirements for the repair and calibration of a Whole Body Counting (WBC) system at WEAC, mandated by ORA's NRC License. The WBC, used for monitoring radiation exposure, operates with an array of HPGe spectrometers, one of which has a faulty cooling unit needing authorized vendor repair. The contractor will fix the Cryo-Pulse 5 cooling unit for a Broad Energy Germanium detector, ensuring compliance with specified performance standards. Following repairs, the contractor must calibrate the WBC and Thyroid systems, employing BOMAB, Livermore Lung, and ANSI neck phantoms. Calibration tasks include energy and efficiency calibrations and quality control checks. Deliverables include the repair of the cooling unit immediately upon award and calibration services post-repair. The project period runs for one year post-contract execution, with necessary coordination for delivery and installation at the U.S. FDA facility in Winchester, MA. This RFP highlights regulatory compliance for radioactive materials handling and outlines comprehensive requirements for maintenance and technical support.
