- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Electromagnetic Technology Division proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis a contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) with Regents of the University of Colorado, Office of Contracts and Grants, 572 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0572 to provide the fabrication and characterization of SiCN-CoFe nanocomposite materials. The materials must retain their functionality at temperatures up to 500 C and have excellent structural properties. The materials must be optimized for large moment and high permeability. The initial target goals are saturation magnetization greater than 1 T and permeability greater than 1000. The microstructure (particle size, phase), structural and thermal stability must be characterized. The low-frequency magnetic properties must be measured and samples must be delivered to NIST for high-frequency measurements of the permeability. The materials and measurements must be iterated to obtain a final target of a material that has saturation magnetization greater than 1 T, permeability greater than 10000, operation temperatures of 500 C. The contractor must have a demonstrated track record fabricating and characterizing SiCN-CoFe nanostructured materials. The contract period will be from date of award through June 30, 2004. Task 1 will be awarded for Fiscal Year 2003. Tasks 2 and 3 are subject to the availability of funds and will be awarded in a separate FY 2004 order if the funding is available***This procurement is being conducted per Simplified Acquisition Procedures FAR Part 13 (under $100,000). FAR Clauses in full text are at http://www.ARNET.gov/far. This synopsis is issued for information purposes only. No competitive solicitation is planned. Questions should be submitted in writing to the contracting officer either by fax or email.
