STATEMENT OF WORK

Entitled, “Technical Evaluation Assessment Monitor Site (TEAMS) Test Support” August 17, 2009 Attachment 1

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 The Technical Evaluation Assessment Monitor Site (TEAMS) is a low-cost, premier, multi-use site where preliminary evaluation, assessment, demonstration, training, fielding, and integration are performed for commercial-off-the-shelf systems to detect, combat, and defeat terrorist Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMD), chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high explosive (CBRNE) threats for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), DoD, and non-DoD agencies and their contractors.

1.2 The TEAMS facility is located in the Southeast section of Kirtland AFB, NM. The site is 24 acres, completely fenced and secured with limited access and 24 hour monitoring. The site has office spaces, conference rooms, and on-site storage available. Both 50 Hz and 60 Hz electrical power is available for testing US and non-US systems and for testing systems destined for deployment OCONUS. The site has water, sewer, paved roads, parking, and three US standard railroad sections (spurs). Seaboard containers, 8ft, 20 ft and 40 ft are available on-site. TEAMS stores and has immediately available 15 radiological sources with access to 8 medical sources (24 hour notice required) from an off-site organization. Medical type radiological sources are available in patient dose quantities. Use of medical sources, is provided at no additional charge to the customer. Medical radiological sources are dependent upon nuclear medicine availability. Other industrial or medical sources may be available, for a cost with prior arrangement required.

1.3 Presently, TEAMS supports the 377th ABW Security Forces with several radiation monitoring detectors and a support IT network at several KAFB access points and the law enforcement desk command center. This system was developed and tested by DTRA’s Unconventional Nuclear Weapons Detection Program (UNWD). Currently, TEAMS provide logistical support of the system and training for KAFB Security Forces.

1.4 The TEAMS facility has a combination of radiation detectors used for baseline calibration and continued evaluation and assessment of radiation technology and radiation detection. The TEAMS facility has a dedicated area (detector row) with supporting infrastructure that allows for radiation detection equipment to be installed and maintained with minimal expense.

1.5 The TEAMS facility also supports several diverse programs with customers as diverse as the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), the National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) and several National Laboratories.

1.6 The TEAMS’ staff also conducts tours or demonstration of the TEAMS facility. The tours include capabilities of the KAFB radiation detection network, facility infrastructure, current programs and customers supported, detection equipment capabilities, limitations and operations.

1.7 The TEAMS facility also uses camera technology to monitor tests being conducted at TEAMS and can also use the camera network to observe testing, training and security of the site.
