This document incorporates provisions and clauses that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2001-22 dated 05 April 2004. The Government intends to award five Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) for Laboratory Analytical Instruments. This procurement is for the following items: 1) 1 EACH, HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE (AFM); 2) 20 EACH, PROBE, DYNAMIC FORCE MODE (DFM), (TAPPING MODE), ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE (AFM); 3) 20 EACH, PROBE, (CONTACT MODE) AFM; 4) 1 EACH, HIGH PRECISION X-Y TRANSLATION TABLE FOR DFM WITH THE MOUNTING ADAPTER; 5) 1 EACH, SCANNING PROBE IMAGE PROCESSOR (SPIP). The Dynamic Force Mode (DFM) Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) must meet the following requirements: 1. Must be portable, stand-alone unit; 2. The scan-head must meet the following specifications: a) lateral range: at least 10 mm; b) z-range (vertical): at least 1.8 mm; c) z and xy drive DAC resolution: at least 16-bit; d) drive resolution in z: at least 0.027 nm (smaller number is better); e) drive resolution in xy: at least 0.15 nm (smaller number is better); f) drive xy-linearity mean error: less than 1.0%; g) z-measurement noise level: ? 0.09 nm; h) unlimited sample size; i) electrical connection to AFM probe available; j) automatic cantilever alignment; k) scanner voltage not to exceed 15V; l) fixed or automatic detector/laser alignment (manual alignment not necessary); m) integrated cantilever observation optics (in scan head), with both top and side views (minimum magnification: top - 12x; side - 10x); 3. The unit is to be supplied with a minimum of 20 tapping mode AFM probes and a minimum of 20 contact mode AFM probes; 4. The following measurement modes must be available: Dynamic Force Mode, Static Force Mode, Modulation of tip potential when used with conductive cantilever, Measurement of tip potential when used with conductive cantilever, Measurement of tip current when used with conductive cantilever; 5. The unit must be upgradeable to include the following modes without modification of the scan head: Phase Contrast Mode, Force Modulation Mode; 6. In Dynamic Force Mode, the frequency range must include 15-400 kHz, with frequency accuracy of at least 0.1Hz (smaller number is better); 7. The interface/data acquisition system must be compatible with a PC equipped with a Pentium processor and Windows 9x, 2000 and XP; 8. The unit must include quantitative data analysis software, with profile analysis, plane correction, Fourier transform and auto-correlation capabilities, and visualization software, with 3D viewing and capability to export data in standard image file formats (bitmap, JPEG, TIF, GIF); 9. The unit must include a precision X-Y translation stage for the scan head. Offeror will provide F.O.B. Destination prices and a delivery date (ex. XX days after receipt of order) in their offer.
