EMA -Sole Source Dosimetry Services FY22

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is procuring Dosimetry Badge Services through a sole source contract with Landauer, Inc. This contract is required to provide emergency workers responding to nuclear power station incidents with two types of dosimeters, including the Landauer InLight Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimetry used to passively monitor radiation exposure. The contract will provide 8,400 InLight dosimetry badges, an automatic reader, calibration, and analysis services for a one-year term from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 at an estimated value of $130,000. Landauer, Inc. is the patent holder and sole manufacturer of the InLight dosimetry technology utilized by IEMA. The agency has utilized this proprietary technology since prior to 2010, as it provides greater sensitivity, longer use, and the ability to obtain multiple readings in the field compared to alternative dosimetry options. Transitioning to a new technology would require significant additional costs to replace readers, dosimeters, revise publications and emergency plans, and provide extensive training for emergency workers.

This is a sole source procurement, as Landauer, Inc. is the only provider capable of meeting IEMA's requirements. The sole source hearing will be canceled unless an interested party submits written comments or requests a public hearing by Friday, June 18, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and no information is provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The estimated value of the initial contract term is $130,000.
