Prepare a one page capabilities statement with contact information and website and send to [email protected] by the closing date on this announcement. I. Dosimetry Device Specifications: a. The selected vendor/contractor shall supply necessary personnel monitoring devices of a NVLAP certified type or combination of types. At the present time VAPHS presently has 24 series divisions with an approximate total of all of the required number of devices needed for initial setup: 113 Quarterly Whole Body Devices (Body Badges), 270 Quarterly Whole Body Devices (Collar Badges), 50 Quarterly Extremity Devices (Ring Badges), 30 Area Monitoring Devices and approximately 3 Monthly Fetal Monitoring Devices. All of these badges presently are for detection of beta, gamma and x-rays. Initial set up includes an extra holder for each body badge. b. The devices shall be supplied according to the following specifications: i. The dosimeters shall not be of a film media. ii. The dosimeters shall have a minimum detectability of 1 millirem for whole body badges (X and gamma ray) and 10 millirem for whole body badges (beta particle). iii. The designated wear period for the dosimeters shall be for the entire calendar quarter/month, starting the 1st of each quarter/ month. iv. The vendor's dosimetry service shall be currently accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology for all radiation testing categories required by the VAPHS. The maintenance of NVLAP accreditation is required. v. Written specifications shall be provided, prior to bid evaluation, on dosimetry devices defining: (a) Minimum detectable reported dose; (b) Energy discrimination capabilities including accuracy, precision, and (c) Maximum range of reported dose for the various energy ranges concerned, primarily: 1. Less than 100 KeV photons. 2. 100 KeV through 250 KeV photons 3. Greater than 250 KeV up to and including Cs-137, Co-60. 4. Photons from a 6/15 MeV external beam linear accelerator. 5. Beta radiations.
