The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), Systems Engineering and Evaluation (SE&E) Directorate has implemented a joint program, the Illicit Trafficking Radiation Assessment Program+10 (ITRAP+10), with the European Commission, Directorate-General Joint Research Centre (JRC). The purpose of ITRAP+10 is to conduct an evaluation and comparison of the performance of available radiation detection equipment relevant to nuclear security. The results will provide an independent assessment of available radiation detection equipment on the market which will serve as a reference for regulatory and other authorities to identify equipment and or families of equipment to address their particular needs, and potentially help to ensure common standards on an international level. The overall scope of this project is to assist organizations in effectively detecting radioactive materials nationally and crossing borders illegally, whether importations, exportations, or shipments in transit, and by developing recommendations that describe the technical and functional requirements for the selection of radiation detection equipment so that resources are deployed in an efficient way.

DNDO is seeking information on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems designed for radiological/nuclear monitoring instruments that can be used at and inside the borders by law enforcement agencies for the following categories: Gamma Search Devices (GSDs), Neutron Search Devices (NSDs), and Spectrometric Personal Radiation Detectors (SPRDs).
Interested parties who have already provided responses to the request for information originally published on 30 September 2010 (RFI-ITRAP-FY10) need not re-apply.

All questions and responses for this RFI should be sent via email to [email protected] and to the Contracting Officer, Willie Lindsey at [email protected]. Responses are due no later than 4:30 PM (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Questions and responses sent to any other email address will not be accepted.
