About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Orlando is conducting a Request for Information to inform acquisition strategy for the PI538 Flash X-Ray Pulse Replacement Project at White Sands Missile Range, with white-paper responses due by August 31, 2026.

The Government seeks turn-key delivery and execution of a replacement Flash X-Ray system operating in a combined testing environment with the Fast Burst Reactor, along with modernization of the supporting underground facility. The effort encompasses design-build and systems integration. Responses are limited to five-page white papers (excluding cover materials and past-performance documentation) and should address technical approaches, scheduling concepts, and rough order of magnitude cost estimates. The Government welcomes feedback from qualified prime contractors, engineering firms, and specialized systems integrators.

Industry is encouraged to suggest alternative NAICS codes aligned with requirements; the current NAICS assignment is 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing). Proprietary information should be clearly marked. Submitted data becomes Government property and will not be returned. This RFI is voluntary, nonbinding, and generates no reimbursement obligation or basis for claim against the Government. The Government will use responses to shape its acquisition strategy but makes no commitment to procure.
