    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, seeks potential sources for a new project involving radioactive sources. This notice is not a request for quotes, but rather an initial step to gauge interest and identify potential vendors.

    The naval shipyard is seeking innovative solutions for the development and supply of radioactive sources, emphasizing the importance of connectivity and data sharing capabilities. The selected solution should facilitate real-time data transmission and analysis to ensure efficient operations.

    The scope of work for this project entails the provision of radioactive sources and associated services. These sources must adhere to stringent safety standards and be capable of integration with existing radiation monitoring systems. Deliverables include the physical sources, along with associated training, support, and potential customization requirements.

    Interested parties should possess a strong track record in developing and supplying radioactive materials for critical applications. Experience in working with government agencies and a deep understanding of relevant regulations are essential. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate their technical expertise and ability to deliver robust solutions.

    This contract is financially supported by the Department of the Navy, with an expected budget allocated for the project. The contract type and specific funding details will be discussed with potential candidates.

    If you are interested in this opportunity, reach out to the primary contact, Andrew Smith, via email at andrew.r.smith6@navy.mil. The naval shipyard encourages potential vendors to express their capabilities and ask any clarifying questions.

    Please note that this is a preliminary step to identify contenders, and the government agency will use the information received to draft a future solicitation.
