Sole Source: RSDetection Gamma Radiation Detector Equipment

Background
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of the state's nuclear facilities. This contract aims to secure spare parts for RSDetection Gamma Radiation Detectors, which are critical for maintaining operational readiness in monitoring nuclear power plants across Illinois.

The agency identified a need due to the upcoming retirement of Reuter Stokes' RSDetection equipment, which will no longer be supported after 2024.

Work Details
The contract involves the purchase of spare parts specifically for RSDetection Gamma Radiation Detectors. This includes:
- 25 units of RS-S131-200-DAQ DAQ Board Assemblies
- 25 units of RS-S131-200ELEC-K Electrometer Assemblies.

These parts are proprietary to Reuter Stokes, and Secure Supply Inc. is the only authorized dealer in Illinois, making this a sole source procurement.

Period of Performance
The estimated contract will begin on November 1, 2024, and end on June 30, 2026. This timeframe accounts for potential supply chain constraints or manufacturing delays, given that the equipment has a lead time of approximately 53 weeks.

Place of Performance
The contract will be performed within the state of Illinois, specifically related to the operations of nuclear power plants monitored by IEMA.
