- Description
- THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC) is issuing this Sources Sought Synopsis as a means of conducting market research or as a market survey to determine the availability of potential qualified vendors with the technical capability to provide all management, supervision, administration, and labor for support of the Symbolic Nuclear Analysis Package/ RADionucilde, Transport, Removal And Dose Estimation (SNAP/RADTRAD) computer code. Specific activities include: computer code (JAVA) updating and management, model development, regression testing and software quality assurance management for the SNAP/RADTRAD computer code. Services are to be provided to the NRC Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES), in Rockville, Maryland. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 541511 - Custom Computer Programming Services. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME. This request for sources and vendor information does not constitute a request for proposal; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the Government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES (if applicable): The NRC is seeking to identify commercial organizations capable of providing computer code updating, model development, code management, regression testing and software quality assurance management for the SNAP/RADTRAD computer code. Specific capabilities would include extensive expertise in radiation dose calculations associated with design basis accident (DBAs) and the nuclear power plant siting criteria in 10 CFR Part 100, "Reactor Siting Criteria," Part 50.34, "Contents of Applications; Technical Information," Part 50.67, "Accident Source Term," and Appendix A, "General Design Criteria (GDC) for Nuclear Power Plants - Criterion 19 - Control Room." The organization would also be required to have extensive knowledge with NUREG-1465, "Accident Source Terms for Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants," and Regulatory Guide 1.183, "Alternative Radiological Source Terms for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Reactors." The organization shall possess technical expertise and experience with use of the SNAP Model Editor software and its associated plugin architecture. Additionally, the organization shall possess technical expertise with the models in the RADTRAD computer code and the codes application and use while performing DBA siting analysis for nuclear power plant licensing. Specifically, the organization shall be familiar with the RADTRAD - Analytical Code (RADTRAD-AC) version 4.0 and its use within the SNAP Model Editor. Finally, the organization shall have extensive technical expertise and experience with code development, maintenance, and regression testing of computer codes written and developed in JAVA. The organization shall be capable and have experience in software verification, validation and quality assurance for engineering computer codes. The purpose of this announcement is to provide potential sources the opportunity to submit information regarding their capabilities to perform work for the NRC free of conflict of interest (COI). For information on NRC COI regulations, visit NRC Acquisition Regulation Subpart 2009.5 (http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/contracting/48cfr-ch20.html).
