Description: 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 and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Electronic Proving Ground, Fort Huachuca, Arizona is soliciting proposals for the following requirement: Replace existing 2 and 3 channel Thermotron 7800, JC System 600A, and Honeywell VRX 180 controllers and install functionally equivalent or better controllers with touch screen capability. Ten controllers required as described: CONTROLLERS 1 - 4: Four each Thermotron model F110-CHV-30-30 AGREE combined temperature, humidity and dynamic test chambers (2 channel control). CONTROLLER 5:Thermotron Model F-82-CHV-25-25l AGREE temperature and humidity chamber. (2 channel controll). CONTROLLER 6: American Research Model WI666-100250NF temperature and humidity chamber (2 channel control). CONTROLLER 7: American Research Model ALT 64-100 350 temperature-altitude chamber (2 channel control). CONTROLLER 8:Tenny Model WI-ST-85 250 temperature-altitude-humidity chamber (3 channel control). The controller must be capable of providing control, monitoring and recording functions of the existing controllers and provide additional capabilities as noted. Outputs will interface with and or replace existing solid state relays (SSR) capable of controlling 2-stage heating and 2-stage cooling, as well as humidity and altitude, where applicable. Four (4) additional programmable auxiliary SSRs are required. Controller must store data and programs and allow transfer to PC via USB port from resident hard drive. Each controller will enable and configure channel 1 input for type T thermocouple with proportional integral derivative (PID) output control. Each controller will enable and configure channel 2 for a 0-5 VDC or 4-20 ma inputs with PID output. Where required channels 2 and 3 (engineering units), should be scalable to accommodate a variety of linear transducers. Controller must assume functions of existing Thermotron System Monitor and Therm Alarms which include: transducers for monitoring cascade refrigeration systems with safety interlocks to protect items under test in the event of an unexpected malfunction. The system must provide independent chamber temperature monitoring and allow selectable High and Low shutdown temperatures. Electrical/Instrument drawings must be provided. CONTROLLER 9: Replace JC Systems 600A controller on custom built Explosive Atmosphere chamber. Explosive atmosphere controller upgrade requirements: Control channel 1 - Type T thermocouple with either on/off or PID output to drive 110 VAC contactor which enables single stage resistive heater loads with no cooling requirements. Five (5) additional recordable monitor channels with scalable inputs configurable for Type T thermocouple, 0-5 VDC, and 10 VDC. CONTROLLER 10: Replace Honeywell VRX 180 controller on custom built salt fog chamber. Salt Fog controller upgrade requirements: Control channel 1 - RDT, Type T thermocouple configurable input with on/off output to drive 110 VAC contactor. Output will drive contactor which enables single stage resistive heater loads with no cooling requirements. Five (5) additional recordable monitor channels with scalable inputs configurable for Type T thermocouple, 0-5 VDC, and 0-10 VDC. FOB DESTINATION: Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Payment will be made by Defense Finance and Accounting under provisions of Wide Area Work Flow under Net 30 Terms. Offers are due no later than 12 noon, Mountain Standard Time, 13 August 2008.
