About this award
The Department of Homeland Security's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction office awarded a $1.52 million cost-plus-fixed-fee completion contract to Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc. (RMD) on August 1, 2015, for exploratory research services in response to Broad Agency Announcement BAA14-101. The contract, titled "Bandgap Engineered Sensor for Active Interrogation of Cargo in Transit," focused on developing advanced radiation detection technology to enhance cargo screening capabilities at borders and transportation hubs. RMD, a small business subsidiary of Dynasil Corporation of America based in Watertown, Massachusetts, specializes in sophisticated radiation detection and imaging technologies for national security applications. The contract was performed without a set-aside designation and was completed by March 31, 2019, at which time unused funds were deobligated and the award was closed out.
The research effort included collaboration with American Science & Engineering Inc., a subcontractor that provided source materials and conducted measurements with accompanying data analysis and interpretation beginning in December 2015. This subcontract relationship leveraged American Science & Engineering's expertise in radiation scanning and detection systems, which complemented RMD's core competency in advanced sensor development. The contract represented part of DHS's broader mission to counter weapons of mass destruction through technology innovation, supporting the agency's objective to develop next-generation detection solutions for identifying radiological and nuclear threats in transit cargo environments.
