OFFICIAL NOTICE CONTENT
Opportunity description
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Office of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) requires Personal Radiation Detectors (PRDs). PRDs are pager-size devices worn by users for radiological and nuclear detection capability as well as personal protection. PRDs automatically monitor the environment and alert the user when radiation levels above the natural background are detected. PRDs also assist the user in localizing the source of detected radiation. The high sensitivity and rapid response time to the variations in the ambient radiation levels clearly distinguish PRDs from the family of electronic dosimeters which are mainly used for accurate dose and dose rate. GENERAL INFORMATION: This RFI is issued solely for information gathering purposes to identify offerors that can provide identify commercially available, gamma-detecting Personal Radiation Detectors (PRDs), including available wireless-communication and data-transmission capabilities in advance of an acquisition which will include testing of the most compliant candidate solutions. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), RFIs may be used when the Government wants to obtain price, delivery, other market information, and capabilities for planning purposes. Responses to these RFIs are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. This RFI shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose, nor does it restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with their RFI response. Respondents will not receive additional information in response to their submittal to the RFI and will not be notified of the resulting market research. Interested parties must submit sufficient documentation in accordance with the instructions in this RFI and current industry�s best practices and standards, demonstrating their ability/experience to meet or exceed the Government�s requirements listed in this notice. RFI RESPONSE SUBMITTAL INSTRUCTIONS: Interested contractors shall submit their RFI responses electronically to Isaac Chapple, Contracting Officer, at Isaac.Chapple@fema.dhs.gov no later than 12:00PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), (due 11/18/2026).

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
No Set aside used is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.
NAICS 334519 · PSC 6695 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.

The source data includes 1 public contracting contact. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
