OSL Dosimetry System

Background
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking to procure an OSL Dosimetry System for the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. The solicitation is for unrestricted full and open competition using NAICS Code 334519.

Work Details
The Brand Name Manufacturer is Landauer, and the specific product required is the microSTARii system, which includes a reader, computer, software, bar code scanner, power adapters, USB cable, set of calibration dosimeters, set of QC dosimeters, and electronic version of the user manual pre-loaded on the computer. The system must be a medical dosimeter capable of passive dosimetry that does not need an external source of energy to operate. It must be capable of measuring gamma, x-ray, and beta radiation exposures accurately using aluminum oxide OSL technology. Additionally, it must have the ability to discriminate static or dynamic exposures, angular exposures, partial shielding, and contaminations. The system must require only optically stimulated luminescence rather than thermoluminescence and have a lower limit of detection of 50 µGy. It should also be compatible with single-point radiation monitoring dosimeters that can be placed on the body.
