- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. �This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334515 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The Government requires the purchase of two RF drive electronics boxes, DDS RF sources, DC bias box, and high-voltage box for time of flight mass spectrometry. The specifications are listed below: RF control box: generate phase coherent RF and ToF (time of flight) trigger signals to the Driver Boxes Two sets of two RF amplitude and phase controls. Phase of the trigger signals for time of flight mass spectrometry can be adjusted independently Frequencies required: 1.1 MHz, 2.7 MHz Amplitude: rf peak to peak voltage: 1200 volts after amplification Controls output voltages of high voltage DC box and DC bias box through serial connection Rf control box controlled via USB Clock reference outputs for phase coherent ejection of ions from an ion trap Clock reference from DDS to generate output TTL to drive box for time of flight mass spectrometry Aux trigger TTL inputs and outputs connected via ribbon cable to initiate commands from user High voltage DC Box: drive high voltage TOF pulser and output static high voltage for einzel lens in a time of flight mass spectrometer Two high voltage ouput pulses with tuned rise times and phase coherent shot to shot with rf control box 1500 V output, 8 channels. Stability: better than 10^-3 DC shim inputs for adding DC via DC control box Ramp from 0 volts to 1500 volts in 0.1 microseconds with 40 pF load. 500 While holding trapped ion qubit, electrical noise must not interfere with atomic ion coherence. Must demonstrate coherence time of order one second if the qubit sensitivity to magnetic field noise is approximately 394 Hz/gauss^2 The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with: University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) 10889 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 700 Los Angeles, CA 90095 The Government has determined that no other source can meet this requirement. �It is essential to of this custom ion trap and phase coherent time of flight mass spectrometry electronics suite that will satisfy the requirements of the trapped ion lab�s experiment. This system has been shown to work well a wide variety of experiments. This system is unique to the UCLA electronics shop with all the specifications listed above. All the specifications are critical and must be met simultaneously upon delivery to be of the Government�s use otherwise there will be a complete degradation of future experiments of the lab and will cause the inability to meet yearly program milestones thus resulting in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s requirements.� This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive quotes; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or quote, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to jennifer.calandra-willson@us.af.mil. Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 31 August 2020. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award in accordance with applicable regulation.
