The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) is seeking information on all categories of commercial off-the-shelf systems designed for radiological and nuclear monitoring instruments that can be used at, and inside, the borders by law enforcement agencies. DNDO’s Systems Engineering and Evaluation Directorate is in the process of implementing a joint program, called the Illicit Trafficking Radiation Assessment Program+10 (ITRAP+10) with the European Commission, Directorate-General Joint Research Centre. The purpose of the program is to conduct an evaluation and comparison of available radiation detection equipment relevant to nuclear security. The results of the assessment 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 the 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. Sol. No. RFI-ITRAP-FY10. Respond by Dec. 14. Contact: Mandy Wylie, contract specialist, 202-254-7230, [email protected].
