- Notice of Contract Action for a Sole Source Procurement SUBJECT: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT FOR: ? Medtherm Microsecond Coaxial Surface Thermocouple. 1 ea. P/N TCS-061-KU-2.00-CR-GG1-B2CSR-BB?this equipment provides a unique capability to supply good heat flux data. DESC: INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT WITH Pamir Electronics Corporation. The Air Force, Edwards Air Force Base, CA intends to award a Sole Source purchase order to PAMIR ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, 603 North Gordon Drive, Exton, PA 19341-1261. The Sole Source purchase will be for the following one (1) commercial item: MODEL: Coaxial Surface Thermocouple ? Description: 1 ea. P/N TCS-061-KU-2.00-CR-GG1-B2CSR-BB? ? Microsecond response to metal wall surface temperature changes * allows very short duration testing* available probe diameters from 015 inch*precise location of thermocouple*rugged renewable junctions*withstand high pressure and heat flux*Applications: Wind Tunnel Model Surface Temperature and heat flux measurement*inside surface temperatures of: engine cylinders*air compressors*gun barrels*bearings*die casting dies*blasts effects on structures*laser target surface temperatures. Coaxial thermocouples are used for microsecond response time surface temperature measurements of metal walls in the above applications and many others. They are coaxial thermocouples consisting of a small wire of one thermocouple material coated with a .C005 thickness of a special ceramic insulation of high dielectric strength weaged securely in a tube of a second thermocouple material. The insulation resistance between the wire and the tube is effective to more than 1500 degrees Celsius at steady state. The thermocouple junction is formed by vacuum depositing a metallic coating of one to two microns thickness over the sensing end of the probe, forming a metallurgical bond. A variety of mounting configurations and transition pieces for lead wire connections may be installed on the coaxial probe assembly. ? Must be an exact form, fit, function. PAMIR ELECTRONICS CORPORATION is the only known source that can satisfy requirements of the Government at this time. Please note that this is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit in writing complete information describing their ability to provide the Coaxial Surface Thermocouple Responses may be sent via e-mail to kim.rabatin@edwards.af.mil or mailed to AFFTC/PKT, 5 South Wolfe Ave, Edwards AFB, CA 93524-1185, and Attention: Kimberly Rabatin. Fax Number: 661-277-2114. Information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Air Force not to open the requirement to open competition, based on response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Air Force. If the office has not received any affirmative written responses by Close of Business (COB), 17 Sept 2007 , a Sole Source purchase order will be pursued with PAMIR ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, 603 North Gordon Drive, Exton, PA 19341-1261.
