EMA - Radioactive & Mixed Standards - ASW (Not a bid opportunity - Proprietary Supplier)

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), is procuring radioactive and mixed standards to be used for the calibration of instrumentation in its Division of Nuclear Safety. This is not a bid opportunity, but rather a proprietary supplier request. The procurement includes nine mandatory specifications that vendors must meet, such as the traceability of radionuclide solutions to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the qualifications of the vendor's radioactive standard solution supplier, required nominal activity levels, certification of calibration, relative expanded uncertainty, packaging, and shipping. Vendors must also provide pricing for the purchase of Marinelli beakers constructed to specific requirements. The contract period is for one year from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020, and the deadline for responses is July 1, 2019.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside for any particular type of organization. The IEMA reserves the right to reject any offers, award by item or group, and waive minor defects. The agency does not provide any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is not provided, but the IEMA indicates that the award will be based on the sum total for all products requested.
