About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification Form from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for the replacement of Cobalt 60 radioactive material sources in two SAIC Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System (VACIS) trucks. IDOT has operated these trucks since 2004 as a deterrent against terrorism, human trafficking, and other illegal activities. The existing Cobalt 60 sources have a half-life of 5 years, and the last replacement was in 2009, so new sources are required. The replacement work will be performed by Leidos, Inc., the manufacturer of the VACIS trucks, who is the only entity qualified to perform this work under IDOT's Radioactive Material License. The value of this sole source contract is $131,422, and the work must be completed by August 31, 2019.
The pricing for this sole source contract has been deemed reasonable by IDOT, as the previous replacement in 2009 cost $146,024. IDOT is funding this purchase with state appropriated funds, and there will be no future obligation to Leidos for maintenance or licensing. Without the replacement of the radioactive sources, the VACIS trucks' scanning capabilities will diminish, limiting their effectiveness as a public safety and law enforcement tool.

I
The department has used two (2) Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System (VACIS) trucks since 2004. The trucks were procured through Homeland Security funds and are operated statewide with the State Police as a deterrent against terrorism, human trafficking and other illegal activities. Cars, trucks and boats can be scanned to detect false compartments, bombs, drug caches, etc.
The Cobalt 60 radioactive material sources have a half life of five (5) years. The last time these sources were replaced was in 2009. It is time for new material. The replacement will also include proper disposal of the old radioactive Cobalt 60 and Lei dos will do that in accordance with Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety rules. Without the replacement the trucks scanning power becomes less and less until the trucks are useless.
2. Provide a list and describe in detail the specifications required to satisfy the need:
New source holders must be Ohmart Model SH-F4 gauges or equivalent.
Installation of the sources must be performed by Leidos trained and certified employees or technicians that regularly perform source change outs on VACIS trucks. Upon completion of the work, VACIS systems shall be checked to ensure proper performance of new sources.
Vendor Qualifications:
To meet the conditions of the Department's Radioactive Material License IL-02249-01, the vendor shall be:
