- Description
- This solicitation is being issued as a Request for Proposals (RFP) for CCD x-ray detectors, operating by means of x-rays penetration of a Beryllium window and striking a phosphor coating, creating optical photons which are sent through a fiber optic to be detected at the CCD chip. The CCD x-ray detectors are to be utilized in the development of a new undulator beamline for the characterization of soft condensed matter materials and surfaces. In addition to the manufacturer?s specification for a state-of-the-art CCD X-ray detector system, the detector shall also be designed to meet BNL?s special requirements delineated herein. This, acquisition, is a, ?Best Value?, procurement. The utilization of this procedure is expected to provide the greatest overall benefit to BSA/BNL. ?Best Value? employs a trade off process that permits award to other than the lowest priced offeror or to the highest technically rated offeror. The tradeoff process, associated with Best Value involves a comparative weighing of the evaluation factors and sub-factors identified in the Request for Proposals (RFP). Specifically, the trade off process involves selecting the most advantageous offer based upon an integrated assessment of both non-cost/price factors, taken in their assigned relative importance. The following factors, in their relative order of weighting, will be utilized to evaluate the offers: - General Technical Specifications: Submit operating specifications for the proposed CCD x-ray detector system utilizing the same format (Section and Sub-Section numbering) presented by the specifications contained in the solicitation. - System Support: System support will be evaluated as to the level of warranty and support provided by the offeror and to what extent it conforms to the base requirements of the specification - Performance Risk: Submit references, points of contact and telephone numbers for manufacture of CCD X-ray detector system or similar systems for the last 3 years. Proposals are due 24 March 2006, by 4:00 PM, EDT, and shall be submitted to Brookhaven Science Associates, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Attention: D. Paveglio, Bldg. 355, Upton, NY 11973, by US mail This RFP has been sent to the following known manufacturers: Mar USA, Inc. 1880 Oak Avenue Evanston, IL 60201 USA Princeton Instruments (Division of Roper Scientific) 3660 Quakerbridge Road Trenton, NJ 08619 Oxford Diffraction Inc. 130A Baker Avenue Ext Concord MA 01742 All other interested manufacturers may download the RFP from this website.
