- Jennifer Mayfield
The 30-second brief
Mississippi State University's Institute for Clean Energy Technology (ICET) intends to make a sole source purchase of a Precision X-Ray, X-Rad320 multifunctional, expandable, radiation research irradiation system. The equipment is required for research and qualification testing of nuclear grade high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to ASME AG-1 and NQA-1 standards, specifically for exposing filter media to high-energy photon irradiation. The X-Rad320 is identified as the only device capable of meeting the required dose rates and quality assurance functionality without the need for radioactive isotopes like Cs-137 or Co-60, which require extensive shielding and security. The estimated cost is $282,450, including a motorized rotating specimen shelf, TouchRAD measurement and control, external dose monitor, and environmental chamber. Objections to this sole source designation must be submitted in writing to the Director of Procurement & Contracts.
