Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Dr. Svetlana Avramov Zamurovic, Potomac, Maryland, for technical services to upgrade the binar inductive voltage divider. A goal of the ongoing research in the field of impedance metrology is to achieve wideband calibration capabilities for four terminal-pair capacitors. In order to improve the present measurement procedure, a capacitance scaling bridge has to be constructed. The bridge consists of a standard inductive voltage divider to be compared with a test capacitor and standard capacitor using a set of injection and detection transformers. The period of performance shall be 10 months from date of award of the purchase order. There is also an option for an additional 10 months. This is a sole source with Dr. Zamurovic because she is the designer and builder of the NIST 30-bit Binary Inductive Voltage Divider (BIVD) and the BIVD Bridge. She has intimate knowledge regarding the design, construction and operation of the instrumentation required for this impedance metrology project. This order shall be processed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. A purchase order shall be awarded approximately September 12, 2001. Interested parties may submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to perform the above requirements. This is not a request for competitive quotations. However, the Government will consider all responses received before the closing date. A solicitation document is not available. See Note 26.
