This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) set forth in FAR Part 13. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for Ultra High Voltage (UHV) insulators. Statement of Work: The Contractor shall fabricate 90 identical Ultra High Voltage (UHV) insulators with wavy surfaces and 5 identical UHV insulators with smooth surfaces as specified in the attached drawings. The insulators will be used for high voltage insulation of connectors for ion source grids and anode for a thruster life test. The Al2O3 used for construction shall be Al 300 alumina of equal to or greater than 97.6% purity. The Contractor shall provide documentation of the Al2O3 purity and source used for procuring it. (Copy of the specification sheet from the vendor is adequate.) End caps shall made of Kovar. Brazing of the Kovar end caps to the alumina insulator body shall be copper brazing and shall use OFHC (Oxygen Free High Conductivity) copper. Drawing 03011E-1 shows the alumina insulator body details for the wavy surface insulator. Drawing 03011E-3 shows the dimensions of the Kovar end caps. Drawing 03011E-2 shows the alumina insulator body details for the smooth surface insulator and Drawings 03011B are assembly drawings of the wavy and smooth insulators showing the ceramic with Kovar end caps. The dimensional tolerance shall be as follows unless noted otherwise on the drawings: .x : ? .1, .xx : ? 0.03, .xxx : ? 0.005. The surface finish shall be 63 microinches unless otherwise noted on the drawings. The Contractor shall have prior proven experience in manufacturing isolators and/or insulators for ion thruster applications and provide written documentation of that experience. Deliverables: The Contractor shall provide the following: 90 UHV Insulators with wavy surfaces 5 UHV Insulators with smooth surfaces Documentation of the Al2O3 purity and source used for procuring it. (Copy of the specification sheet from the vendor is adequate.) Period of Performance The period of performance for this order shall be 8 weeks after receipt of order. **NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS: OFFEROR MUST INCLUDE ADEQUATE INFORMATION FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT THEIR OFFER MEETS THE ABOVE STATEMENT OF WORK** The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 01-22.
