Description
NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a compact, high efficiency refrigerator for cooling astronomical detectors to an operating temperature of approximately 0.3 Kelvin (-272.85 C) from a base temperature of 4.2 Kelvin (-268.95 C). The refrigerator must operate on a balloon-borne platform, requiring low power and small volume. The space available for the refrigerator is roughly 7 diameter and 10 long. The total dissipated power should average out to less than 200mW over a 24hr period. The performance requirements for the refrigerator include: 36 hour hold; base temperature below 300mK; power handling at that termperature of ~ 10 microWatts; an additional 20 microWatts of heat lift at a temperature of ~ 1K. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase this service from Chase Research Cryogenics. LTD pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available form only one source. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact no later than 2:30PM EST on September 20, 2012. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
