Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (hereinafter called “LLNS”) is seeking sources for the performance of manufacturing of a Criticality Accident Alarm System (CAAS) in support of LLNS’ requirements. The requirements entail design and manufacturing to replace our current system. The current CAAS contains 28 gamma radiation detectors, control modules, local meters, and 2 redundant programmable logic controllers. The new system should provide continuous dose rate indication ranging from 0.1mR/h to 100,000mR/h. The system should be Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) approved or can pass a NRTL inspection. LLNS desires a system with a product minimum lifecycle of 15 years. LLNS also requires system support either by access to technicians over the phone and/or in person and will require software upgrades and testing. Only contractors that have considerable expertise and experience in designing and manufacturing CAAS systems, and who possess the necessary contractor qualifications, including the ability to meet the following System Requirements will be considered: Shall meet the ANSI/ANS-8.3-1997:R2017 Most recent version. ANSI/IEEE 344 - IEEE Standard for Seismic Qualification of Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations. Meets the following codes, orders, and standards NFPA 70 - National Electric Code. DOE Order 420.1C. DOE O 5480.4 Environmental Protection, Safety, and Health Protection Standards. (?)
