About this opportunity
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences issued a notice of intent to sole-source a Cesium-137 radioactive source (approximately 1000 Ci) with installation and calibration services from Hopewell Designs, Inc., with a June 6, 2026 response deadline. The contract will be firm-fixed-price on a commercial basis. The sole-source justification rests on Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing requirements: the GC-60 irradiator is regulated under NRC Material License 19-08330-02, which mandates that repair activities be performed only by an NRC-licensed person or company, and Hopewell Designs holds proprietary rights to the GC-60 hardware and software as the only entity capable of meeting this requirement. Pursuant to FAR 5.207(c)(16)(i), USU invites all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations providing clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not be cost or time prohibitive, and that the offeror can satisfy the stated needs. The Government will not reimburse response costs. Additional details are contained in the attached Notice of Intent to Sole Source document.
