- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) intends to procure from Virginia Diodes, Inc, 979 Second Street SE, Suite 309, Charlottesville, VA 22909 under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 6.302.: (1) Phase Locked Transmitter (PN: VDI-264GHz PLTx-NIH). A phase-locked microwave source operation at 264 gigahertz (GHz) is needed for the construction of a novel apparatus for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) experiments. This microwave source will be used with two existing superconducting magnets already located at the NIDDK. Therefore the microwave source must provide power at the proper electron spin resonance frequency of these magnets, which is 264 GHz. The 264 GHz source technical requirements are as follows: 1. The source must operate at a frequency of 264 GHz, with the ability to be tuned over at least 1.4 GHz range in tuning steps of 50 MHz or less 2. The long-term and short-term frequency stability of the source must be 50 MHz or better 3. The microwave output power must be at least 20 milliwatts at 264 GHz. Lower output powers will not produce the required DNP signal enhancements 4. The source must operate from 120 V AC line power. All power supplies and other necessary components for production of the specified microwave output must be included, with the exception of digital programming of the frequency setting. 5. The microwave output flange of the source must be compatible with attachment to WR-4.3 rectangular microwave waveguide. This is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements it may submit a statement of capabilities. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient details to allow NIDDK to determine if the party can meet all of the foregoing requirements. Offers must also be accompanied by descriptive literature, warranties and/or other information that demonstrates that the offer meets all of the foregoing requirements. An original and one copy of the capability statements and related materials must be received in this office by 3 p.m. EST on or before July 31, 2007. Faxed and emailed capability statements are NOT authorized. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed acquisition is based upon responses to this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. Request for copies of the Request for Quotation (RFQ) shall be emailed to Tina Robinson @ robinsti@mail.nih.gov or faxed to 301-480-4226. It is anticipated that RFQ# NIH-NIDDK-07-196 will be available fifteen (15) days after the publication date of this synopsis. Receipt of quotations will be due ten (10) days after the release of the RFQ. NOTE: In order to receive an award from the NIDDK, contractors must be registered in the Online Representations and Certifications Applications (ORCA). Please refer to http://orca.bpn.gov in order to register. In addition, contractors must have a valid registration in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) www.ccr.gov
