The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition in upgrading a DuPont/TA Instrument thermal analysis system containing a 1090 DuPont controller, a 910 DSC, a 951 TGA, 943 TMA, and a 982 DMA from TA Instruments, Inc. The 1090 DuPont controller and 951 TGA are being traded-in for upgrade to a 3100 TA controller and SDT 2960 modulus. The upgraded 3100 controller must be fully compatible with the 910 DSC, 943 TMA, 982 DMA, and the SDT 2960 modulus being purchased. The SDT 2960 modulus is being purchased to replace the 951 TGA and exhibit the capability to simultaneously show the weight loss of a material on the milligram scale as a function of temperature to 1500 degrees centigrade and display thermal transitions (DTA) occurring within the materials as a function of the temperature. NRL intends to negotiate with only one source under authority FAR 6.302. No telephone requests for this requirement will be accepted. SEE Note 22.
