The Waste Brokerage Provider shall provide end-to-end services for the collection, packaging, transportation, and disposal of low-level radioactive waste materials accumulated at GSFC since the late 1960s. Services include receiving radioactive sources from GSFC Building 22, ensuring compliance with Department of Transportation requirements (49 CFR 172 Subparts D and E) and applicable Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Environmental Protection Agency regulations, and providing all necessary shipping documentation, labeling, marking, and milk run transportation. Specific materials requiring disposal include non-leaking sources and a Meterox model SLPS unit for macro-encapsulation and disposal at Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS); a Meterox model SSPS device requiring license transfer to Gammatron Inc; an AEA AMC.8725 requiring license transfer to Gammatron Inc with on-site encapsulation; a leaking Americium-Beryllium source requiring license transfer to Gammatron Inc with on-site encapsulation; Cs-137-083IN for processing at Gammatron Inc; and Cs-137-101 for processing and disposal at WCS. The contractor must maintain a Radioactive Material License and be authorized to perform licensed work throughout the United States under Nuclear Regulatory Commission Reciprocity and Agreement State reciprocal agreements. The period of performance is one-time collection with Gammatron Inc encapsulating specific sources in October 2026 and all sources collected during a December 2026 milk run. The contractor shall provide documentation of disposal to the GSFC Radiation Protection Office.

Background Since the late 1960’s, radioactive material sources have been accumulating at the GSFC’s storage location, after science projects no longer needed them. Over time these radioactive sources became obsolete, reached the end of their useful lifecycle, and have no use for present day science projects at GSFC.

3. Place of Performance Goddard Space Flight Center, Building 22, 8800 Greenbelt Road in Greenbelt, MD 20771

4. Period of Performance One time collection for disposal

Deliverables and Delivery Schedule Shall provide the GSFC Radiation Protection Office with documentation of disposal of the radioactive material sources.
