RFQ for two (2) Radioisotope Identification Device (RIID)

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Public Health, Radiation Protection Services, is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of two hand-held Radioisotope Identification Devices (RIID) for its Radiological Emergency Response Team (RERT). These specialized devices are critical for identifying radioactive threats and assessing health risks during emergency situations in real-time. The RFQ requires potential bidders to provide detailed quotes for RIID units that can differentiate radiation types, detect multiple radioactive sources, and integrate with RadResponder technology. Specifications include comprehensive requirements for equipment performance, including rapid and accurate identification capabilities. Vendors must submit electronic quotes by 3:00 PM PST on May 19, 2023, either via email or through the OregonBuys eProcurement System. The quote must include a lump sum price covering two RIID units, encompassing shipping, software, accessories, warranty, and training. OHA anticipates awarding a single Purchase Order to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Bidders must be registered to do business in Oregon and may qualify for consideration as a Resident Bidder or Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (COBID) through the state's procurement diversity program. The awarded equipment must be new, currently in production, and meet all specified technical and performance requirements. OHA has reserved the right to purchase additional RIIDs from the winning bidder, with a potential expansion budget of up to $150,000. While no incumbent vendors are specified in the documentation, the procurement appears designed to enhance the existing radiological emergency response infrastructure. The contract opportunity is specifically targeted at Multnomah County but has state-wide implications for emergency preparedness. Potential vendors should carefully review all technical specifications and compliance requirements to ensure their proposed solutions meet the OHA's stringent operational standards for radiological threat detection and identification.
