Well Logging Contractor/Licensee

[Tad Blanchard <Tad.M.Blanchard.1@gsfc.nasa.gov>]

Hello RADSAFERs, 

We will be having some environmental test wells drilled and logged at our
NASA facility (a federal installation) which is located within the State of
Maryland (an agreement state).  The contractor (I suppose) will be using
radiation sources within well logging equipment.  Here's my question:

If the contractor possesses only a "State" license, do they need to get
approval from the NRC prior to performing work at our federal facility?  If
so, what type of approval will be required?

PS.  We have an NRC Broadscope License but it does not include well logging
equipment.

Thanks for your help (in advance).
