STATEMENT OF WORK

1. FAR 52.212-4(q) Other compliances. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, executive orders, rules and regulations applicable to its performance under this contract.

2. The specific items required are (4) four new Cobalt-60 sources placed in Government-provided non-certified, steel containers and delivered to the Building 21230, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), NM. The specific requirements are detailed below:

(a) Four (4) each Cobalt-60 sources containing 11,000 Curies (+0, -15%) each of said industrial grade radioactive nuclide.

(b) Each Cobalt-60 source is to be double encapsulated in welded stainless steel construction certified in accordance with a design approved by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

(c) Each new double encapsulated source is then required to fit into Government provided, non-certified, #410 steel containers (four each of drawing #GRF0101, attached enclosure). Each new encapsulation/container combination is required to contain an appropriate force-dampening spacer(s) and end cap torque to satisfy a five (5) year design life cycle without leakage and minimum safety factors for each encapsulation/container as determined for the Gamma Range Facility Operating Procedures and concluded by a New Mexico State University Report, Dept of Mechanical Engineering Study, dated 5 Aug 98. Each new encapsulation/container combination must then be completely seal-welded.

3. The encapsulations and containers must also pass an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or NRC approved equivalent helium pressure leak test. All encapsulation/container combinations must be tested to show less than 0.5 nano curies of removable contamination.

4. Three copies of a technical package must be included and each package containing all regulatory certification documentation, engineering drawings, parts specifications, validation test reports, and quality assurance/inspection reports for each encapsulation/container. Technical data is to include all test data generated that is required by USNRC to switch from solid slug to the pellet form of source.

5. The four (4) new Cobalt-60 sources (encapsulations sealed in Government containers) are to be shipped by truck from the contractor’s location to the Building 21230, WSMR, NM. After a period between one (1) and five (5) working days is to off-load the shipping container, transfer sources, store sources, and load the empty shipping container, the contractor is required to provide truck and driver for return of the shipping container and cage to contractor’s location.

6. The four (4) new Cobalt-60 sources (encapsulations sealed in Government containers) are to be shipped by truck from the contractor’s location to the Building 21230, WSMR, NM. After a period between one (1) and five (5) working days is to off-load the shipping container, transfer sources, store sources, and load the empty shipping container, the contractor is required to provide truck and driver for return of the shipping container and cage to contractor’s location.

7. Contractor will design the spacers of the internal cavity of the customer’s capsule accounting for temperature variations and specify the torque used on the end cap to close the capsules prior to seal welding.

8. The four (4) new Cobalt-60 sources (encapsulations sealed in Government containers) are to be shipped by truck from the contractor’s location to the Building 21230, WSMR, NM. After a period between one (1) and five (5) working days is to off-load the shipping container, transfer sources, store sources, and load the empty shipping container, the contractor is required to provide truck and driver for return of the shipping container and cage to contractor’s location.

9. Required Delivery Date of the above Cobalt-60 Sources from contractor to the Government is 31 October 2017.

10. Contractor will design the spacers of the internal cavity of the customer’s capsule accounting for temperature variations and specify the torque used on the end cap to close the capsules prior to seal welding.

Notes to Contractor:

1. The Government will provide the contractor with a total of 32, #410 steel containers. The 32 Government-provided steel containers will be shipped to contractor no later than 15 August 2017.

2. Contractor shall notify the Government 72 hours in advance of the delivery date and time. Upon delivery of Cobalt 60 sources at Building 21230, White Sands Missile Range, NM, Facility personnel will be prepared to off-load the contractor shipping container and empty the source cage.

3. At such time the useful life of the contractor supplied Cobalt 60 sources are disposed of, the US Government, WSMR, reserves the option to remove, transfer, ship, and dispose of the decayed Cobalt 60 sources either to the contractor or other appropriate facility.
