Los Alamos National Security, the M&O contractor for Los Alamos National Laboratory, put out a Request for Information this week seeking vendors capable of handling, shipping, and storing radioactive sealed sources and disassembling devices containing radioactive sealed sources. The scope of work for the contract will include shipping the sealed sources, removing if necessary devices from the containers, and consolidating the sources into packages for disposal. “This scope requires shipping radioactive sealed sources to subcontracted off-site facilities so they can be removed from their shipping containers, removed from devices if necessary, and consolidated into packages for interim storage or final disposition,” the notice said. “This requires the receipt and shipment of Type A and B quantities of radioactive sealed sources, the ability to provide interim storage for hundreds of Curies (Ci) of sealed sources containing transuranic isotopes and thousands of Ci of sealed sources containing beta-gamma emitting isotopes.” Qualified respondents should submit a response to LANS by March 24. LANS expects releasing a Request for Proposal for the contract sometime in the second quarter of 2015, the notice said.
