This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA Ames Research Center plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectrometer to be used in the Center for Nanotechnology. The high-performance research grade instrument will be used for the characterization of organic molecules for molecular electronic applications. The system specifications have the following requirements: 1. Operates at proton frequencies of 400 MHz. 2. 9.4 T 54-mm bore actively shielded superconducting magnet, with 183 day liquid helium hold time, helium level sensor, and helium transfer line. 3. Automation of lock, shims, phase, gain, sample insert/spin/eject (14 channel shims). 4. Automated probe calibration. 5. Auto-switchable probe, for high frequency (1H, 19F) and low frequency (13C, 31P), 0.05 Hz frequency resolution, and capacity of single, double, and triple resonance studies. 6. Variable temperature module (-125 degrees Centigrade to 250 degrees Centigrade), with 0.1 degree Centigrade resolution. 7. 50 position autosampler. 8. Anti-vibration system. 9. Networking capabilities. 10. Manufacturer support, including complete installation, one-year warranty, four days on-site training. 11. Technical, application, and post-warranty support provided by manufacturer. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 01-04.
