Walk-Through and Handheld Metal Detector Standards Panel

AGENCY: National Institute of Justice.

ACTION: Notice of request for proposals for Certification Expertise.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is in the process of 
revising the Walk-through and Handheld Metal Detector Standards and 
developing corresponding certification program requirements. This work 
is being performed by a panel of experts, comprised of practitioners 
from the field, researchers, testing experts, certification experts, 
and representatives from stakeholder organizations. The panel members 
will participate in four 2-day meetings over a 7-month time period with 
the goal of completing development of the standards and certification 
program requirements. It is anticipated that panel meetings will begin 
in early November 2009. Travel expenses and per diem will be reimbursed 
for all panel meetings; however, participation time will not be funded.
    NIJ is seeking certification bodies with experience in programs for 
similar types of electronic equipment. Additional preferred knowledge 
includes experience with metal detectors or experience with 
corrections, courts or school safety. There are two positions to be 
filled on the panel, and NIJ will accept the first 10 submissions for 
review.
    Interested parties are requested to nominate individuals from their 
organizations and submit no more than two pages describing the 
nominee's applicable experience, preferred knowledge, and affiliations 
with standards development organizations. This information shall be 
submitted to Casandra Robinson at [email protected] by 
October 9, 2009. The submissions will be reviewed, and participants 
will be notified regarding their acceptance by October 16, 2009.
