LINE ITEM 0001: Quantity Two (2) Source Meter Units meeting all of the following required specifications: 1. Must be equipped with a remote preamplifier with peak to peak noise less than 0.4fA; 2. Must perform three functions simultaneously: voltage sourcing, voltage measurement, and current measurement; 3. The voltage sourcing function must cover 200 mV to 200 V ranges with minimum required specifications of 5 micro volts resolution (preferred 1 micro volts or smaller) 0.02 percent plus 600 micro volts one year accuracy (Percent reading plus volts) (preferred better), and 5 micro volts peak to peak noise (0.1Hz to 10 Hz) (preferred lower) at the 200 mV range; 4. The voltage measurement function must cover 200 mV to 200 V ranges with minimum required specifications of 1 micro volt resolution, 0.012 percent plus 350 micro volts one year accuracy (Percent reading plus micro volts) (preferred better) at the 200 mV range; 5. The current measurement function must cover 1 pA to 100 mA range with minimum required specifications of 10 aA resolution, 1.0 percent plus 7 fA one year accuracy (Percent reading plus amps), less than 1 mV voltage burden at 1 pA range; 10 fA resolution, 0.05 percent plus 200 fA one year accuracy, and less than 1 mV voltage burden at 1 nA range; 10 nA resolution, 0.027 percent plus 60 nA one year accuracy, and less than 1 mV voltage burden at 1 mA range; Delivery shall be FOB Destination. FOB Destination means the contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery.
