Radiographic Test System

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking to procure a new Radiographic Test System for its Electronic Product Test Center (EPTC) to replace an aging X-ray system. The solicitation (SP4706-25-Q-0010) requires a high-performance Real-Time X-ray system capable of non-destructive testing of semiconductors and microcircuits with specific technical specifications. Key requirements include a 160kV electron tube with over 0.5 um feature recognition, automated x-ray flux calibration, and a test tray capable of handling 14x14x14 inch samples. The system must be ESD-safe, include a Windows 11 computer with non-cloud operational software, and provide geometric magnification up to 2,046X. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 15, 2025, with a response deadline of May 30, 2025, indicating that the full solicitation will be released at a later date.

The procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation and falls under the NAICS category 334517 for Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing. The contract requires the selected vendor to provide the X-ray system with on-site installation, initial startup, system diagnostics, and three days of training for up to four participants. The delivery timeline is 120 days after contract award, with additional requirements including a 1-year preventative maintenance service contract and a 12-month warranty. The system will be delivered to the Defense Supply Center Columbus, with installation coordination managed by point of contact Jeremiah Jones or Kedric Jones. While specific award value is not disclosed, the comprehensive technical requirements and service expectations suggest a significant investment in advanced laboratory testing equipment for the DLA's product evaluation capabilities.
