Securing the Cities - Personal Radiation Detectors (STC PRD)

The Department of Homeland Security's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (DHS CWMD) office established this Securing the Cities - Personal Radiation Detectors (STC PRD) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle to procure personal radiation detectors, associated accessories, and related services. The multiple-award IDIQ contract enables the government to issue task orders for radiation detection equipment designed to support domestic counterterrorism and threat interdiction efforts. Originally solicited in 2020 with a potential five-year ordering period, the contract has a shared ceiling value of $121,402,162.56 and was competitively awarded to multiple vendors through full and open competition.

The contract has consistently awarded task orders to three prime contractors: Thermo Fisher Scientific (Thermo Eberline LLC), Mirion Technologies (Canberra), and Polimaster Inc. Task order values have ranged from approximately $55,000 to $6.2 million, typically with one-year performance periods. Most task orders are firm fixed-price and do not utilize set-aside designations, though one order to Polimaster included partial small business subcontracting requirements. The primary performance locations have been in Virginia, Massachusetts, and Tennessee, with contractors providing various personal radiation detection devices such as Thermo Scientific RADEYE SPRD, Polimaster PM1703MO-II BT, and Mirion Technologies Accurad Personal Radiation Detectors. The task orders consistently support DHS CWMD's mission of detecting and interdicting radiological and nuclear threats in high-risk urban areas across the United States.
