Description
Tender description: X-Ray Systems - Explosive Ordnance Disposal (XR-200).
The models to be procured must match the equipment in service with the ISF (Iraqi Security Forces), otherwise, there will be compatibility and training issues. Of particular concern is the training, as the equipment used at the IABDS (Iraqi Army Bomb Disposal School) must match what is used by the ISF in the field.

New clarification added: 6. “Indefinite timeframe exposure window” seems to refer to a specific brand offering, please clarify why the summing capablity - of great benefit to customers - is not considered?UNOPS Reply: The indefinite exposure window permits the generator to emit for extended periods of time while the plate catches. More time/more pulses --> the more radiation hitting the object --> more radiation getting caught by the back plate (DR imager plate). Operators make an assessment as to the number of pulses and enter it into the generator before they turn it on XR 200 goes up to 100 pulses. You would need approx 7 pulses for a cardboard box and approx 50 pulses for a pipe bomb. By making it variable or "indefinite" an operator has more flexibility to attack denser objects e.g. lead lined.- The "(not summing)" part is a bit perplexing, however this will keep operators from having to go back down range multiple times (greater exposure to threat) to have to take multiple shots on the same plate (because there was a finite exposure window). If the plate shifts, it would have the effect of overlapping two exposures.7. Please clarify which exact robotics / ROV customer is using?UNOPS Reply: Talon robot. Unfortunately, we are unable to determine the precise variant. They've been around a long time and are quite common. https://www.army-technology.com/projects/talon-tracked-military-robot/8. Please clarify the IP67 rating and 4 foot drop testing for the DR imager should be outside of any protective cover / housing? UNOPS Reply: If the DR imager is supplied with an integral housing/covering attached, then the IP67 rating should apply to the DR imager with this integral cover/housing.9. For those systems which require a separate interface /communications module for wired operation with the DR panel, please clarify that it too must be certified to IP67 & 4 foot drop tested, outside of any protective cover / housing?UNOPS Reply: The Specefications states, " Panel at IP67". We are unable to determine anything that says the separate interface/communications module would need this, therefore we recommend not changing the SOR to say that it must be. Conceivably, a control module or interface would remain in the incident command post and would not be exposed to the same conditions as the generator and DR imager plate, therefore it does not need to be as ruggedized.

New clarification added: 1. Bid Security Form is shown as Mandatory form, but Tender Particulars state that Bid Security is not required. Also, the Tender Documents do not include Form E: Bid Security Form. Please clarify? UNOPS Reply: Bid Security is not required for this tender. 2. Delivery terms are DAP Baghdad, is this to Baghdad airport only? Or please confirm delivery address in Baghdad?UNOPS Reply: The delivery incoterm is DAP Baghdad and shall not be airport only, the exact location will be determined later. 3. Which, if any, of the specifications are mandatory?UNOPS Reply: all the specifications are mandatory. 4. We note that "System must include four high-definition DR panel: Approx. size 14” x 17”. Please clarify the requirement for four DR panels per system (i.e. 4 panels per system x 7 systems = 28 panels)? This is highly unusual.UNOPS Reply: EOD operators should limit the number of manual approaches (i.e. walking towards a threat in a bomb suit) as much as possible. So, one long lone walk with four panels is better than four long lone walks with one panel. Three per would suffice if the vendor is incapable of supplying four per. However, the preference is for four panels.5. Supplied systems must be able to control Teledyne Constant Potential Generators, as well Golden Engineering generators. Please clarify which specific Teledyne generator model must be controlled, as there are many, and is customer already using it?UNOPS Reply - The system used was the XRS 200.- It is possible that vendors may offer systems that are compatible with medical type x-ray generators, which is a perk, but not a requirement.- The school instructors are knowledgeable on the use of a commonly used X-ray generator system, the XRS systems by Golden Engineering. Specifically, the systems previously used in the school were XRS 200 . As such, training on the equipment itself will not be required if this system is purchased, as it is the most commonly used by other coalition partner forces and is the optimal strength for EOD purposes. There will be minimal training required for use of the system accessories.
