TITLE: 38-Sources Sought Notice SOL: 36C24223Q1089 DUE: 08/17/2023 at 16:00 EST NAICS: 334510 AGENCY: VA Hudson Valley Health System , Castle Point Campus, 41 Castle Point Rd, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 POC: Jonatan Rondon Email all responses only to: Jonatan.rondon@va.gov DESCRIPTION: This Sources Sought Notice is for informational and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation or commitment by the Government at this time. This notice is intended strictly for market research. The purpose of this Sources Sought notice is to determine interest and capability of potential qualifications of all businesses relative to the North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) 334510. The Department of Veteran s Affairs is seeking all qualified business manufacturer or distributors of small business manufacturers to all the following specifications below. Background: The current dose calibrator at the VA Hudson Valley Health System Castle Point Campus is at end of life and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. When we contacted the manufacturer, we found they were no longer in business and the unit can t be fixed. It needs to be replaced before it fails completely. The CS 137 Rod and reverence source are also weakening with age and can be replaced now. Requirement: The Hudson Valley Castle Point Campus is requiring an acquisition of a Dose Calibrator with a Well Counter. This is a brand name or equal acquisition to the Mirion Technologies CRC-55TW Dose Calibrator with Well Counter based on the salient characteristics below: Chamber with well counter Prg. Disk, 55t COMM, 1.0 Shield, Aux, Rac, 25w, 55tw, ultra Source, CS 137, .5 uci, 5 rod Liner, Well, std. Chamber Vial/Syringe Dipper, STD. Chamber Screen Protector, Touchscreen (5pk) Cs-137 REFERENCE SOURCE - 200 Ci 2-year warranty 8 in. VGA touch screen color display USB/PC communications Software upgrade via USB or flash drive USB printer capability Chamber plug-and-play capability 28 programmable nuclide keys Built-in dose calibration, quality control and self-diagnostics Over 80 nuclides in memory Automatic chamber QC including linearity Hard copy records of data available from optional printer Compatible with Nuclear Medicine Management Systems via USB 256 channel MCA with detailed spectrum for identification analysis Well counter for wipe tests and laboratory tests User-definable protocols for wipe testing Automated well QC including Chi-Square and MDA Manual and Automatic ROI Includes a pre-set key for F-18 measurements Reports: Well counter reports for autocalibration, system test, MDA, Chi-Square, and laboratory tests are archived and searchable by date, type, land activity Automated Linearity Testing and Geometry Testing As a combination of the new CRC -55tR Dose Calibrator and Well Counter, the CRC- 55tW dose calibrators provide advanced features with the speed and accuracy you need to measure activity and prepare doses. Its ion chamber is one of the time-tested, high pressure well designs by Capintec capable of measuring a dose as high as 6 Ci (250 GBq) with high accuracy. The CRC-55tW calibrator features a new helpful chamber plug-and-play capability. For wipe testing, the CRC-55tW calibrator allows the user to define specific counting procedures (protocols) with trigger levels for work, patient, unrestricted areas, and sealed source leak tests. The CRC-55tW unit also performs counting functions for wipe tests in as little as six seconds at activities as low as 1 nCi. Low activities are measured with a drilled well high sensitivity Sodium Iodide (NaI) detector. The well counter includes a 256 channel MCA which provides detailed spectrum for identification and analysis. Manual and automatic ROI selection are available. The chamber and counter of the CRC-55tW calibrator are combined in a menu driven, touch screen interface that is easy to learn and use. Reports software, new for the CRC-55t-W unit, archives well counter data for quality assurance procedures, wipe measurements and laboratory tests. Well counter reports are stored and searchable by date range for later viewing or printing. Wipe tests are searchable by date range, wipe type, and active. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION AND DOES NOT OBLIGATE THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A SOLICITATION. Please be advised that the Government will not pay for any information submitted under this announcement. The applicable North American Classification System (NAICS) Code for this requirement is 334510 (Electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing).
