ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for a
radiation detector and specialized components.
SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services
for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, (Ludlum

the original OEM. The current procurement will be a direct replacement and must meet form, fit,
and function specifications of infrastructure which is in place to support this asset. The radiation
detector is a large multi-sided portal which allows for laden vehicles to pass through and scans
loads for radiation. The detector is mounted on concrete bases which were poured to exact
requirements to house this asset, allow for its cabling, and facilitate its movement. All responsible
sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a
determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon
responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information
received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a
competitive procurement.
