EMA - FY23 Radionuclide Standards

This state contracting opportunity is a small purchase with sole source conditions for the procurement of radionuclide standards by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) for fiscal year 2023. The requested goods are standards used for the calibration and verification of radiation detection equipment. The key objectives are to ensure the accurate and reliable operation of radiation monitoring instruments used for emergency preparedness and response. Qualified vendors must have the capability to manufacture, package, and deliver the required radionuclide standards, which include Cesium-137, Cobalt-60, and Americium-241. Vendors must submit detailed technical specifications and documentation of their ability to meet all quality assurance requirements. The procurement has a posted due date of October 24, 2022, and the contract term is for the 2023 fiscal year.

The procurement has sole source conditions, which may restrict competition to a single qualified vendor. However, the state requires all vendors, even those with an approved Illinois Procurement Gateway registration, to submit completed Forms A and B disclosing their taxpayer identification, conflicts of interest, political contributions, and other certifications. Vendors must also agree to the state's Standard Terms and Conditions. No specific budget or award value range is provided, but the procurement is designated as a small purchase, suggesting a relatively lower dollar amount compared to larger statewide contracts.
