- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. This request is an announcement for information/market research for planning purposes. This synopsis does not constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, invitation for bid nor does its issuance, in any way, restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center/PKOA, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico is seeking potential sources to provide Magnetic Field Coils and power supplies. This system will consist of: CLIN 0001: Field Coils 2 outer field coils with inner diameter less than 31.5" and great than 24". Capable of achieve >500 Gauss for less than 10 kW. 1. Ideally, the id will be as close to 24" as possible to maximize the field strength for the available power. 2. Outer Coils together run at less than 10 V at 500 Gauss for safety. CLIN 0002: Field Coils 2 inner field coils with inner diameter of 64". 1. Maximum outer diameter of 76". 2. Maximum width of 4", ideally 2" so that additional magnet coils can be added in the future to double field strength. This will make the magnets much more valuable to the lab by expandability and flexibility. 3. Capable of producing an inner axially constant 200 Gauss field with less than 10 kW of power. 4. Sufficient water cooling so that inner magnetic field can be increased to 500 Gauss at a later time. 5. Inner coils together to run at less than 12 V at 200 Gauss for safety. CLIN 0003: Power Supplies 1. One 10 kW power supply optimized to the inner field coils. a. One 10 V 1000 A power supply will initially power the inner field coils. Additional 10 V 1000 A power supplies can be used in the future to increase the maximum magnetic field. 2. One 10 kW power supply optimized to the outer field coils. b. Initially the outer coil magnets will be powered by 10 V 1000 A supply (1/2 the rated value) which will give us the opportunity to double our end magnetic field in the future with the purchase of an additional 10 V 1000 A supply. c. Rack mountable. d. Air cooled. e. 180-253 Vac 3 phase input. f. Controllable through external input to allow for fail safe systems (overheating protection, etc.). g. Low noise system (less than 50 mV noise levels). Firms responding to this announcement shall include company name, DUNS number, cage code, point of contact, address and business size using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334416, Size Standard 500 employees. Statement of Capabilities (SOCs), limited to 2 pages and shall demonstrate experience in providing or manufacturing of product or capability to provide products meeting the specification listed. Statement of Capabilities may be submitted by facsimile at (505) 846-8925 Attn: Renate Schuler or preferably via E-mail to: rente.schuler@kirtland.af.mil. Responses must be received no later than 12 July 2012 at 4:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Identify your response with the corresponding program title: Sources Sought: Magnetized Plasma
