- Description
- Under authority of U.S.C. 253©(1), FAR 6.302-1, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland intends to procure from Gatan, Inc. 780 Commonwealth Dr., Warrendale, PA 15086, a Post-column imaging filter including interfacing integration and installation. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 334516, and the business size is 500 employees. This system shall include, but not be limited to, and meet or exceed the following performance characteristics, features, and pertain to the following components: (1) The filter shall mount directly below the film plate chamber of an existing Government owned FEI manufactured Tecnai 30 TEM (transmission electron microscope) and be compatible with the energy filter control and low dose data acquisition software with automatic beam blanking embedded in this energy filter ready TEM's user interface. (2) Shall operate at electron energies of at least 300 keV(kiloelectron volt). (3) Energy filtered images, diffraction patterns, transmission electron microscope images, and energy loss spectra collection shall be accomplished using a 2048 pixel x 2048 pixel fiber-optically coupled CCD (charge coupled device) camera. (4) Third order corrections for major aberrations in the image shall be accomplished by the design of the electron optics in the imaging filter. (5) The filter specifications shall be equal to or better than 1.0% for image distortions and within 1.5 electron volts for isochromaticity. (6) Shall include software capable of automatically re-align each element in the system. (7) Shall be controlled through the Tecnai User Interface and through custom user-written software for microscope control and automation. (8) The post-column energy filter shall include: spectrometer and filter hardware, an entrance flange, pneumatic aperture assembly, magnetic prism, pre-slit quadrupole lens assembly, post slit quadrupole lens, sextupole and octupole lens assembly, greater than 10 frames per second fast readout of CCD camera for real-time viewing of energy filtered images, and a 2k pixel by 2k pixel pixel x 2k pixel CCD camera for real time viewing of energy-filtered images, and a 2k x 2k pixel CCD camera with a dynamic range of at least 16000:1. 9. Shall provide a large field-of-view (20 microns diagonal) for energy filtered TEM imaging and mapping. (10) Shall provide high spectrum readout for STEM spectrum-imaging with greater than 30 spectra per sec. Concerns that respond to this synopsis shall furnish concise responses directed specifically to the requirements mentioned above and are invited to submit capability statements in an ORIGINAL PLUS TWO (2) no later than fifteen (15) business days from the date of this announcement. Written responses shall include complete description of the equipment to be provided, containing sufficient technical information to permit agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet the stated requirements as listed above. CAPBILITY STATEMENTS SHALL BE SENT TO: (a) If mailing your capabilities through the U.S. Postal Service use the following address: National Institutes of Health, Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, OA, 6011 Executive Blvd., Rom 529-T, ATTN: Carol Hayden, Bethesda, MD 20892, telephone: 301-402-3340; fax: 301-402-7494. (b) If hand delivering, or using a courier services such as: UPS, Federal Express, etc., use the following City, State and Zip Code: Rockville, MD 20852. Respondents will not be notified of the evaluation results. Responses by Facsimile (FAX) will be accepted to 301-402-7494 or 301-402-3407 to the attention of Carol Hayden. NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (23-SEP-2003). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 16-AUG-2007, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
