- Description
- Sources Sought Notice (Market Survey) Microfocus X-ray System The Government is interested in obtaining information regarding a state-of-the-art, radiographic Microfocus X-ray System. With the advent of electronic miniaturization and the proliferation of smart munitions, the Government has a growing need to establish a high-resolution radiographic inspection capability for microscopic sub-components. A Microfocus x-ray system provides this capability. The Government is interested in any vendor that can deliver and train up to 10 Government personnel in the operation of a Microfocus x-ray system with the following specifications: 1. The unit must either be a directional open-tube or a transmission open-tube design. An open-tube design is one that permits the user to easily change out filaments in the x-ray tube when they burn out (as opposed to a closed-tube design, which is not maintainable at the user level if something would fail inside the x-ray tube). 2. The smallest focal spot size of the Microfocus x-ray tube shall be no more than 1 micron. 3. The energy output of the Microfocus tube shall be 240 kV or greater in order to penetrate at least a inch of steel at 1 micron resolution. 4. The Microfocus x-ray system shall be a flexible, multi-purpose unit. The Microfocus x-ray system shall be stand-alone, i.e., not part of a larger inspection cabinet or with unnecessary fixtures or manipulators. The multi-purpose Microfocus x-ray unit shall be easily configurable by operators into multiple inspection methods, and shall be suitable for use in QRLs existing Computer Tomography (CT) system. 5. The Microfocus x-ray unit shall have a stable high tension generator so that it can produce stable x-ray energies constantly during a long CT scan of a complex customer commodity. 6. The supplier shall notify QRL of power, space, and environmental requirements within 10 days of contract award/purchase order issuance. 7. Training shall be provided on site and shall include system operation and maintenance instruction. This Market Survey is for information and planning purposes only, and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). This Market Survey is not to be construed as a commitment by the U. S. Government. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. No award will be made as a result of this Market Survey. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any private sector input as a result of this Market Survey. Respondents will not be notified of the results of this survey or results of information submitted. The Government respectfully requests information on or before 1400 (2:00 PM) EST, Wednesday, 14 May 07. Please provide brochures, pamphlets or other marketing information to David DeCandia, Contract Specialist, AMSML-AQ-JA (Bldg 10), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, or email at david.decandia@us.army.mil.
