REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL – ATTACHMENT 2

Radiation Portal Monitor System Requirements

In support of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) RFP #HSHQDN-17-R-0002, below are the Government’s requirements for the Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) system.

Background: The Request for Proposal (RFP) consists of the Operational and Functional requirements that define the operational and functional capability of the system. The Cybersecurity requirement group defines the essential cybersecurity requirements that a RPM Replacement system must achieve to provide baseline cybersecurity capabilities and support secure operation of the RPM Replacement on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) network. The cybersecurity requirements are modeled after the NIST SP 800-53 controls and in a few cases modifications have been made in order to meet CBP’s needs for the RPM Replacement system.

The document is divided into the following groups of requirements:

Operational and Functional Requirement Groups

The requirements consist of operational requirements (marked as OR), which indicate the operational needs of the Government, and related functional requirements (marked as FR). A subset of these requirements is considered key performance parameters (KPPs) and, as such, are those requirements deemed essential or critical for an effective system. DNDO is providing this information so that Offerors may have a better understanding of the totality of characteristics that DNDO values in a system.

Am-241: 47 μCi Co-60: 7 μCi Cs-137: 16 μCi Ir-192: 6 μCi Sr-90: 750 μCi, with 1 cm steel shielding.

In addition to the threshold, detect shielded Am-241, Co-60, Cs-137, Ir-192, Sr-90, Pu-238, Se-75, and Yb-169 emitting no more than 200,000 photon/s, where the ratio of the number of photons in the primary photo peak to total photon emission is 1/10th or less of that ratio in a bare configuration.

Gamma-photons/cm2 per second.

The Threshold may use any measurable units as long as they are linear to the amount of radiation impacting the sensors of the RPM. A linear, proportional threshold based on the standard deviation of the background radiation is acceptable if it covers the net radiation flux ranges specified. The net radiation fluxes provided are for a theoretical spherical surface 196 cm from the source after subtraction of the background radiation.
