About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for federal contract opportunity 80NSSC26928969Q regarding procurement of an X-ray detector system for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of metallic additive manufacturing (AM) builds used for automated inspection.
The X-ray detector specifications include a maximum detector area diameter of 6 inches, with a preference for detector configurations that fully utilize the 6-inch diameter (such as 5x6" being preferred over 1x6"). The detector is not replacing an existing system and does not require integration with a pre-existing X-ray source; however, it must be capable of being triggered remotely. Regarding software, if acquisition software for digital radiography is free and approved for Federal Government use, it may be assumed as available; otherwise, the necessary acquisition software must be included in the contractor's offer. The detector will be mounted on the exterior of a vacuum chamber with X-rays transmitted through a window, indicating the application is laboratory-based rather than field inspection use.

Q&A Document
80NSSC26928969Q – X-ray detector for NDE of metallic AM builds for automated inspection
Q: Is there a preference regarding the size of the panel?
5x6"
4x9"
8x10"
A: The detector area does not to need to be bigger than 6” in diameter. Detector area that utilizes a 6” diameter is preferred (e.g. 5x6” is better than 1x6”).
Q: Is this replacing an existing detector?
A: No
Q: What type of software is required? Can we assume acquisition software for digital radiography?
A: If the software is free and approved for use in the Federal Government, then it can be assumed. Otherwise, the necessary acquisition software should be included in the offer.
Q: Does the software and detector need to be integrated with an existing x-ray source?
A: No, it does not. The detector should be able to be triggered remotely.
Q: Is this going into an enclosure? Or will it be used for �ield inspection?
A: The detector will be mounted onto the outside of a vacuum chamber and x-rays will be transmitted via a window.
