About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base has awarded contract FA860126P0080 to NRD, LLC on a sole-source basis for recovery and recycling of department-owned Americium 241 foil sources that have exceeded their useful shelf life.
The sole-source justification rests on NRD, LLC's exclusive NRC licensing (License 1192) and manufacturing capabilities for Am-241 foil sources. Market research identified no other known sources within the United States offering recycling services for Am-241. The contracting officer determined that only a single source is reasonably available in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, and materials necessary to recover or recycle the radioactive materials, with responsibility for disposal if repurposing or recycling is not feasible.
The contract performance period is 12 months from issuance to allow adequate preparation and shipping of sealed sources. Place of performance is Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The estimated contract cost is redacted in the justification document. The requirement is classified under NAICS 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal) and PSC F108 (Environmental Systems Protection—Environmental Remediation). AFRRAD indicated it will continue monitoring the market to identify whether additional businesses develop Am-241 recycling capabilities in the future.
