- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. 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). Item 1. Quantity 1 EA: Advance Research System(ARS) Model LT-3-110 Helium Cryostat System or Equal. Item 2. Quantity 1 EA: Vacuum Pump,5.5 m3/hr, 1E-3 mbar. Direct Drive, Rotary Vane or Equal; Item 3 Quantity 1 EA: Liquid Nitrogen Dewar, designed to operate with Helitrans from 77K to 350K, Painted Carbon Steel Construction 100L capacity or Equal. SALIENT FEATURES FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF A HELIUM CRYOSTAT (AUG, 2002)are as follows: 1.0 DOCUMENTATION The supplier shall provide published information/specification or generated test data showing how the proposed system compares to the requirement of this specification. The supplier may use photographs, drawings, sketches, and/or test data to demonstrate compliance to each requirement of this specification. A complete set of documentation of the operator?s manual, service manuals, schematic diagrams, parts list, and any technical information required for proper operation and maintenance of the system shall be supplied with the system. 2.0 WARRANTY The supplier shall specify a warranty for the equipment to be provided for at least one year after date of shipment at no cost to the government for parts or labor. 3.0 SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS The system shall be able to cool and maintain the temperature of Resistive Temperature Devices (RTDs) in the temperature range of 2K to 350K. The system shall allow for mounting up to 4 RTDs for cryogenic calibration from 2K to 350K. The system shall provide mounting for a typical RTD such as the Rosemount model 134. The system shall have a suitable helium transfer line that will provide non-turbulent and uniform liquid delivery and guarantee high refrigeration capacity and uniform temperatures from 2K to 350K. The transfer line will be a minimum 10 foot flexible section. The system will include a Dewar Adapter with relief valves and Dewar pressurization fittings. The system will include flowmeters to regulate and optimize helium consumption and will also permit locked in flow settings for frequently repeated tests. The system will include suitable instrumentation for temperature control and monitoring. The system will include all feedthroughs for RTD wiring. The system will include one integrated temperature controller, tested with the system, including all interconnection cables. The temperature controller will be both RS-232 and IEEE-488 interfaceable. The system will include one vacuum pump suitable for maintaining system vacuum. The system will include one 100L Liquid Nitrogen Dewar.
