- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) intends to enter into negotiations on a full and open competition basis on a firm fixed price (FFP) contract for a Dynamic Vapor Sorption System. Below is a random sampling of the requirements: 1) Durable, corrosion-resistant construction on all surfaces and structural parts, 2) Microbalance with sensitivity of plus or minus 0.1 microgram for a sample size of at least 1 gram (with maximum weight change of at least 0.1 g), 3) Automatic balance calibration, 4) Automatic balance temperature compensation, 5) Single finger sample access, 7) At least two separate vapor reservoirs, with a means of exposing the sample to vapor from either reservoir in a controlled fashion, 8) Vapor pressure range 0 to at least 98% of saturation for water and common organic solvents such as hexanes, dodecane, and toluene, 9) Thermal conductivity mass flow controller, 0 to at least 200 sccm, compatible with in-house nitrogen supply from liquid nitrogen boil off, 10) Real time measurement of vapor concentration and sample mass, 11) Sample pre-heating temperature range at least 20 degrees C or below to 200 degrees C and above, 12) Sample measurement temperature ! range at least 20 degrees C or below to 85 degrees C and above, 13) Temperature stability plus or minus 0.2 degrees C or better, 14) Includes color video microscope with on-image date and magnification annotation capability, minimum resolution 1000 (horizontal) x 1000 (vertical) pixels, 16-bit color or better, max field of view 7.5 mm x 10 mm or better, magnification range 50 x or below to 200 x or above, achievable resolution of 2 micrometers or smaller, and ability to incorporate calibrated scale bar into images. Includes LED light source for color video microscope, 15) Includes drying system compatible with in-house air supply, 16) Includes all accessories needed for start-up and performance verification including at least two instrument-compatible quartz pans, two instrument-compatible metal pans, spare hangdown wires if the balance assembly uses wires for suspension, and clean non-magnetic forceps (or equivalent hand-held tool) capable of easily gripping and manipulati! ng sample pans. Fiber optic port to accommodate Raman / FT-IR spectroscopy of samples, 17) Fiber optic probe to accommodate Raman / FT-IR spectroscopy of samples, 18) Ability to synchronize collection of Raman / FT-IR data with video image capture or balance readings in a programmable fashion 19) Build-in analysis software algorithms to calculate surface area (BET), surface energy, amorphous content, ISO surface activity, diffusion kinetics, Knudsen vapor pressure, surface heat of vapor sorption, and thermal activation energy of vapor sorption, 20) Built-in computer or dedicated computer with Windows XP Pro operating system, 21) Ability to export images to CD/R in at least one common compressed format (JPEG, GIF, PNG) and at least one high-resolution format (TIFF, BMP, RAW), 22) Ability to export data files to CD/R in CSV or other MS-Excel readable format, 22) 120 V / 60 Hz AC power cord, with uninterruptable power supply capable of continuous monitoring and protection of balance, microscope, any associated computers or electronics, and envir! onmental conditioning equipment. The solicitation with a detailed list of requirements will be posted on the Navy Electronic Commerce Online Website at http://www.neco.navy.mil and the FEBBIZOPPS website at http://vsearch2.eps.gov/servlet/searchservlet on or about 6/17/2009. The solicitation will close on or about 7/16/2009. The Department of Defense requires all contractors to register in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database to receive any contract award or payment. The CCR website is http://www.ccr.gov. In accordance with FAR 4.1201, prospective contractors shall complete electronic annual representations and certifications via the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) at: http://orca.bpn.gov in conjunction with required registration in the CCR database. All responsible sources may submit a quotation that will be considered by the agency. Responses must include all information requested in the written Request for Quotation (RFQ). Evaluation for the award will consider past performance, price and other factors including technical capability. All responses shall be submitted in writing to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division Code 210000D, Attn: Gayle Cline, 429 E. Bowen Road, and Stop 4015, China Lake, CA 93555-76108 or FAX (760) 939-3095 or, e-mail gayle.cline@navy.mil.
