Sole Source for Radionuclide Identification Detector (RIID) and supporting software

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is conducting a sole-source procurement for a Radionuclide Identification Detector (RIID) with a mobile device and supporting software designed for remote detection using a drone. Specifically, the OHA's Radiation Protection Services (RPS) and Health, Security, Preparedness, and Response (HSPR) programs are seeking the SPIR-Ace detector manufactured exclusively by Mirion Technologies. The equipment is critical for emergency response efforts, including potential scenarios like transportation accidents and nuclear power plant incidents, with the primary objective of identifying and detecting radioactive materials from a distance. The procurement requires a lightweight and powerful detector capable of advanced radioisotope detection. The solicitation was posted on June 16, 2022, with proposals due by June 24, 2022, and potential protesters must submit their objections by 3:00 PM within seven calendar days after the initial posting on Oregon Buys. The key deliverables include the RIID detector, mobile device, supporting software, and potential additional services such as on-call maintenance, preventative maintenance, repair, and training.

The procurement appears to be an unrestricted competitive opportunity with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations. Mirion Technologies is the sole manufacturer of the required SPIR-Ace detector, effectively making this a single-source procurement. The total estimated contract value is $33,710 for the initial equipment purchase, with potential additional contract authorization up to $150,000 or a 10-year term, whichever occurs first. The contract will allow the OHA to purchase the detector and related services, potentially including maintenance and training support. The procurement is specific to Marion County, Oregon, and focuses on enhancing the state's emergency response capabilities for radiological incident detection and management. No incumbent vendors are mentioned beyond Mirion Technologies, and the procurement does not specify integration requirements with existing technological infrastructure.
