About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking to procure NIST-traceable radioactive reference standards for the United States Air Force (USAF) Calibration and Instrumentation Laboratory (CIL). Patrick Space Force Base intends to make this acquisition as a sole source procurement, indicating a single qualified supplier. The procurement includes four distinct product codes with specific technical specifications: composite RASA filters containing multiple radioactive isotopes including Cd-109, Co-57, and Am-241, U1 filters with similar isotopes, and polyester matrix standards in specialized containers with additional isotopes like Mn-54 and Zn-65. All standards must meet stringent requirements including +20%/-20% activity tolerance, NIST traceability, and certified documentation, with remanufactured or refurbished products explicitly excluded. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 18, 2025, with a due date of July 24, 2025, and delivery must be completed no later than September 30, 2025.
This procurement opportunity operates under the "No Set-Aside Used" designation, making it available to all qualified contractors. The specific radioactive standards include Product Code 8401-GF-RASA at 148.00 kBq activity levels, Product Code 8401-GF-FP also at 148.00 kBq, and two variants of Product Code 8405-EG-SD at 185.00 kBq and 37.00 kBq respectively. The products require specialized packaging including 0.5mg/cm2 Mylar inserts for some items and 10mL polyester matrix standards in Wheaton HDPE containers for others. The procurement falls under NAICS category 325180 (Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing) and PSC category 6810 (Chemicals), reflecting the specialized nature of these radioactive calibration materials. The sole source approach suggests limited market availability for these highly specialized, NIST-traceable radioactive reference standards required for Air Force calibration operations.
