- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Proposals are being requested, a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is a request for quotations. This RFQ is issued under simplified acquisition procedures. This RFQ has two line items. The items being procured for AFIT, WPAFB are as follows: Torsional Thrust Balance. The following minimum requirements for Torsional Thrust Balance to Measure Micronewton Thrusters must be met. -The thrust balance shall be capable of mounting in a horizontal chamber with length of 66 cm (26?) and a diameter of 61 cm (24?). -The balance will be mounted to a platen in the chamber. Specifications and requirements for mounting will be provided by a vendor. -Thrust levels: Continuous: 2 to 20 uN, resolution of 0.03 uN Impulsive: 3 to 40 uNs, excitation intervals from 20 to 80 ms -Noise levels: 0.1 uN / square root Hz in the 7 mHz to 1 Hz bandwith -Thruster mass loads support 44 kg, typical thruster load between 0.3 and 1.0 kg -Vacuum operating conditions 1e-7 Torr based on a clean, dry empty and outgassed vacuum chamber -Temperature conditions: The performance described above shall be obtainable based upon a 20?C ambient temperature -Voltage 120V/60Hz or 240V/60Hz -All interconnecting cabling will be provided with the system. All components shall be selected based upon accommodating the system temperature and pressure ranges. Thrust balance measurements will be made from a control computer using a Labview? software environment. Thrust balance will be connected to the control computer through standard vacuum chamber BNC feedthroughs -Controls and instrumentation shall be situated on a control computer using LabView? software controls. The instrumentation controls will be design to integrate with an automated control and data acquisition system. Direct readout and capture of thrust measurements shall be provided -An Operation and Maintenance Manual will be provided. The manual will consist of the following: electrical drawings, major component vendor literature, general arrangement drawing or descriptive literature, calibration instruction, operating instruction Inverted Pendulum Thrust Balance. The following minimum requirements for Inverted Pendulum Thrust Balance to Measure Millinewton Thrusters must be met. -The thrust balance shall be capable of mounting in a 2 m diameter horizontal chamber to a platen with work space of 30?x30?x36? (36? depth). -The platen has mounting holes to secure the balance, 3/8? with 3/8-24 threads on 4? centers starting 2? from platen outside edge. The platen is 30?x36? and capable of holding 200 lbs. -Thrust levels: Continuous: 0 to 1 N, resolution of 0.1 mN -Noise level: below 0.01 mN -Thruster mass loads support 50 kg, typical thruster loads between 1 and 10 kg -Vacuum Operating Conditions 1e-7 Torr based on a clean dry empty and outgassed vacuum chamber -Temperature conditions: the performance described above shall be obtainable based upon a 20?C ambient temperature -Voltage: 120V/60Hz or 240V/60Hz -All interconnecting cabling will be provided with the system.
