66 -- COMPRESSOR FOR USE IN A CRYOGENIC REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SOL NB838-801524DT POC Doris Turner, Purchasing Agent, 303-497-3872 or FAX 303-497-3163 E-MAIL: NOAA; MASC Acquisition Management, Doris.P.Turner@noaa.gov. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires a non-lubricated compressor for use in a cryogenic refrigeration system. The following minimum requirements must be met. 1. Volumetric flow rate of at least 12 slm. 2. High pressure of at least 2.75 MPa. 3. Low pressure less than 0.1 MPa. 4. Electrical input power from 110 VAC 60 Hz source. 5. Electrical input power not to exceed 600 W. 6. Electronics must allow control of volumetric flow rate. 7. No lubrication. 8. Air cooled. 9. Nitrogen working fluid. Interested sources proposing to supply a compressor which meets these requirements must submit a written quote and a qualification statement clearly establishing capability to meet the above requirements within 15 days from the date of this synopsis. This simplified acquisition will be based upon the best value to the Government, with technical merit and past performance being significantly more important than price.
