The Radiation Air Particle Detectors 2012-2017 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract was awarded by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) for the production of Radiation Air Particle Detectors (APDs) intended for installation on nuclear-powered vessels. The contract vehicle supports the procurement of specialized radiation detection equipment and related technical services essential for maritime nuclear safety and monitoring. Task orders under this vehicle encompass various aspects of detector production, testing, calibration, and supporting technical activities.

The contract vehicle demonstrates a consistent pattern of firm fixed-price delivery orders, with values ranging from $84,000 to $4,001,129, and typically covering periods of several months to approximately two years. Leidos Inc. (doing business as SAIC) emerged as a prominent prime contractor, receiving multiple significant task orders for production units, vacuum pump assemblies, and radiation air particle detector procurement. The task orders were consistently awarded by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, with no specific small business or other set-aside designations applied. Most task orders were associated with technical work centered in locations like Herndon, Virginia, and focused on producing and supporting specialized radiation detection equipment for naval applications.
