This combined synopsis/solicitation shall be posted on both FEDBIZOPPS and NECO http://www.neco.navy.mil/). The RFQ number is N00244-05-T-0842. This solicitation documents and incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through FAC 2005-03 and DFARS Change Notice 20050323. It is the contractor?s responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. The clauses may be accessed in full text at these addresses: www.acqnet.gov/far and http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dfars/index.htm. The NAICS code is 541710 and the Small Business Standard is 500 employees. This is a competitive, unrestricted action. This acquisition is being acquired for the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona, CA. The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, San Diego, Detachment Seal Beach requests responses from qualified sources capable of providing research and development of Nanoscale Dimensional Standards for Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM)IAW Statement of Work: Statement of Work Project: Research and Development of Nanoscale Dimensional Standards for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) 1. Basis for Award: This contract will be awarded based on technical acceptability and low cost. 2. Project Summary: This project focuses on the development of calibration standards for AFM measurements on nanoscale level below 10 nm. The desired outcome of this initial phase of research is the identification of materials that have potential for use as nonoscale dimensional standards. This project will involve evaluation of materials to determine stability, repeatability, and accuracy for developing reproducible results on the atomic scale. Additionally, AFM probe materials and geometry must be evaluated to determine suitability of existing and prospective materials for stability, accuracy, and reliability. Quarterly reports must be provided as well as a final report. 3. Requirements for prospective proposals: 1. Detailed description of research to be conducted 2. Schedule and milestones for a 1 year duration from contract award 3. Information supporting capability to perform the work involved 4. Detailed cost breakdown of labor, material, and administrative costs 4. Required Deliverables 1. Quarterly and Final reports detailing work performed 2. Identification of prospective dimensional standard a. Scientific data supporting precision and accuracy requirements at the sub 10 nanometer level b. Scientific data supporting process stability and repeatability c. Scientific data comparing prospective dimensional standard with current industry accepted methods 3. Identification of prospective AFM probe tip material configuration a. Scientific data supporting selection of material b. Scientific data supporting accuracy and repeatability of tip configuration c. Scientific data showing actual measurement data comparisons with current industry accepted methods FOB Destination. Required Delivery Date 8/12/05: Place of deliverables is Corona, CA.
