The Department of Homeland Security's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction office awarded an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to Polimaster Inc. to provide personal radiation detectors, training, accessories, and associated services in support of the Securing the Cities program. Task orders issued to date against the IDV total $2.56 million and have periods of performance ranging from one to two years, with all work taking place in Sterling, Virginia. The original solicitation sought proposals for multiple award IDIQ contracts between $3 million and an estimated $121 million over five years to equip first responders nationwide with up to 14,000 personal radiation detectors annually. The contracting vehicle and initial task orders utilize firm fixed pricing and have not imposed any set-aside designations. The awards draw on the agency's mission to detect and prevent radiological and nuclear threats domestically through statewide sensor networks and local capacity building.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a draft request for proposals in April 2020 to establish three to five IDV contracts supporting the Securing Cities Personal Radiation Detectors program. The resulting IDV with Polimaster Inc. has yielded over $2.5 million in task orders to date for personal radiation detectors, training, and accessories to safeguard the national capital region through FY2024. Polimaster provides these critical capabilities from its Virginia location under firm fixed price agreements. The effort aims to further the agency's domestic detection and interdiction of radiological and nuclear materials.
