The contractor’s work will include radiation detection equipment and security systems, site access and perimeter control systems for sea, air, and border crossings, and buildings that will house emergency centers. The contractor will also provide communications systems to collect and store data from radiation monitoring locations, as well as mobile detection system units and other man-portable detection equipment.
The program is on an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with a total value of up to $400 million. Bidders must respond by March 16 via www.fedconnect.net.
