Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a written solicitation will not be issued. The reference number for this requirement is F4FBFM6145A100. TO PROCURE A MULTIFUNCTIONAL, REAL TIME QUANTITATIVE SURFACE ANALYTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM with IN-SITU EXPERIMENTATION CAPABILITY and MULTI_ANALYTICAL TOOLS. Please see requirements listed below for more detailed information. NAICS: 334516, SIC: 3826, FSC: 6640, SIZE STANDARD 500 employees. The government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(i). This synopsis is being published for informational purposes only. The proposed source is Kratos Analytical Inc. The equipment is needed for ultra-thin analysis of thin surface films. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, the government will consider any quotations received by the response date and time provided below. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotations should be e-mailed to Jennifer LaShawn Nalls at jennifer.nalls@wpafb.af.mil or faxed to (937) 656-1412 no later than 3:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on 25 September 2006. Any questions should be directed to Jennifer LaShawn Nalls at (937) 522-4550. The major technical system requirements that meet the Government's needs are as follows: a) The instrument must have the following analytical techniques and tools: Imaging XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), Auger Spectroscopy, UPS (Ultraviolet Photoemission Spectroscopy), Ion Scattering, In situ heating and cooling. Having these analytical tools will allow new capabilities for experimentation that will fulfill our research needs. b) The instrument must have a hemispherical analyzer size of 160mm or above. This feature provides for the needed energy resolution for our applications. c) The instrument must be able to provide real time, high spatial resolution (4 micron spatial resolution) imaging that can provide quantitative chemical state information without surface damage. This feature will allow us to perform real time in-situ experiments on several scales, from macro to micro scales, and will provide quantitative composition and chemical state data. d) The instrument must have a co-axial electron flood source for charge neutralization. This will allow for in-situ experiments to be run without interference from side-angle flood sources. e) The instrument must have the spectroscopy and imaging detector in the same plane. This allows for exact alignment control between the spectroscopy and imaging detection systems. f) The instrument must have greater than 100 detector elements during spectroscopy mode. This is needed for increased sensitivity of high resolution chemical state information. g) The instrument must have a greater than or equal to 500mm Rowland circle x-ray monochromator. This provides improved spectral resolution that is needed for our tasks. h) The instrument must have chamber geometry that is compatible to customization for future experiments. Our research needs/goals change with time and the instrument must be able to adapt to our changing research directions.
