INDUCTIVELY COUPLE PLASMA (ICP) SPECTROMETER 1 EA STATEMENT OF WORKSPECIFICATIONS FOR INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA (ICP) SPECTROMETER 1.ICP Spectrometer Specification Requirements: The Materials Engineering Laboratory (FRCSE JAX) has a requirement for an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Spectrometer. The ICP Spectrometer provides unique capabilities necessary to support current workload and future potential workload requirements. The ICP Spectrometer must meet or exceed the following specification requirements. 1.1The ICP Spectrometer must be a dual view spectrometer with mass flow controllers (MFC) gas system. The instrument must be a bench mounted simultaneous ICP Spectrometer, based on an RF induced plasma emission source, a purged Echelle polychrometer, and Charged Injection Device (CID) array detector. 1.2The ICP Spectrometer must have a solid state, free running RF generator providing power for the plasma via a load coil around the standard radial torch configuration. The RF generator must be fully interlocked for safety and convenience. The plasma must be ignited and extinguished via full control of the operating software. 1.3The ICP Spectrometer nebulizer, plasma, and auxiliary gas to the sample induction system must be supplied and controlled via independent mass flow controllers. All mass flow controllers must be controlled via the PC user interface. The system must be fully interlocked against gas failures. 1.4The ICP Spectrometer dual plasma viewing system must provide both axial and radial torch views. Must be able to automatically optimize the axial viewing position and automatically change the viewing system within a method. The plasma configuration must be contained in an enclosure with safety viewing window and fast access, fully interlocked door. The ICP Spectrometer must have a four channel, 12 roller peristaltic pump under full computer control feeding a standard glass cyclonic spray chamber via a glass concentric nebulizer. 1.5The ICP Spectrometer collection optics must provide automatic entrance slit control to the thermostatted and purged Echelle polychromator. The purge gas (Argon or Nitrogen) must have a comprehensive flow control and adjustment for the fastest purge down time (roughly one minute), while maintaining minimum gas usage. 1.6The ICP Spectrometer Echelle polychrometer must have an effective focal length of 38mm, and is thermostatically controlled to 38C. Dispersion must be provided by an Echelle diffraction grating with at least 77 lines/mm. A cross-dispersing prism provides the spectral image to the CID array detector. Resolution must meet or exceed 0.009nm at 200nm. 1.7The ICP Spectrometer random access CID imager must provide full wavelength coverage from 165nm to 785nm, and must be cooled to -45C via a triple stage Peltier cooler. The entire camera must be purged with filtered gas and features ceramic PCB technology to ensure high purity gas and extended camera lifetime. 1.8The ICP Spectrometer coolant gas flow must be supplied from an external recirculator and must have a full flow interlock within the spectrometer. 1.9The ICP Spectrometer must include an accessories package to accommodate samples with high solids. The package must include a torch, centre tube, spray chamber adaptor, organics spray chamber, salt nebulizer, ball joint clip, pump sample and drain tubing. The ICP Spectrometer must include an accessories package to accommodate samples with Hydrofluoric Acid (HF). The package must include a torch, centre tube, spray chamber adaptor, HF spray chamber, appropriate mist nebulizer, ball joint clip, pump sample and drain tubing. 1.10The ICP Spectrometer must include software for operation of the instrument, which must control all of the necessary functions required for normal operations of the instrument (control of torch, control of plasma, control of mass flow controllers, control of auto-sampler, etc.). The operating software must provide an easy to navigate platform that allows operators to add wavelengths, create methods, analyze samples, and post process data. Special features and full frame imaging must allow the operator to digitally capture and record the entire spectrum of any or all samples for data analysis and storage. The ICP Spectrometer must have all computer hardware required for operation, to include computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, and any other required controls. The monitor must measure at least 19" diagonally and must have a minimum resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels, which must be supported by the computer hardware and the instrument software. The computer must have a CD-ROM drive, a hard drive with at least 120GB capacity, and USB ports for use of portable storage media. 1.11The ICP Spectrometer must have an auto-sampler which can be fully controlled by the operating software. The instrument must be suitable for 100-240V, 50/60Hz operation from a single phase 30A supply. The instrument must have an appropriate water re-circulator (230V/60Hz) with required tubing. 1.12Delivery and Installation: The ICP Spectrometer and all required components will be delivered to the Materials Engineering Laboratory, FRCSE JAX within 8 weeks of the contract award date. The contractor will provide an installation requirements document to the Government at least 30 days prior to delivery of the ICP Spectrometer. The Government shall be responsible for installation or verification of all required utilities, and site preparation before the delivery of the ICP Spectrometer. The contractor shall be responsible for the unpacking and installation of all components of the ICP Spectrometer. 1.13 Training: In-depth training of three Government employees (Materials Engineering Laboratory, FRCSE JAX) will be provided by the contractor on the ICP Spectrometer and shall be included in the overall system cost. This training will consist of both on-site training (FRCSE JAX) as well as system specific in-house training provided at the contractor's training facility. The on-site training will cover system operation, preventative maintenance, and basic troubleshooting. The contractor's in-house training will cover advanced system operation, in-depth maintenance and troubleshooting. 1.14Maintenance: The contractor shall provide a list of all user required (consumable) parts, and a complete set of such parts adequate to provide for a routine one year operational period. Such parts will be included in the over-all instrument cost. The contractor will provide a statement as to the method of providing service to the instrument, including location of contractor service personnel, contact information, and contractor response time. 1.15Government Acceptance: The contractor must submit a plan for Government review/approval to test and validate each of the specification requirements stated herein. The contractor will provide this validation plan to the Government at least 30 days prior to delivery of the ICP Spectrometer. The contractor shall perform the testing in accordance with the approved validation plan. A designated Government technical expert will oversee and verify satisfactory completion of the validation plan. The validation plan will be the technical guidelines used to determine Government acceptance of the ICP Spectrometer. 1.16Warranty: The ICP Spectrometer and all associated accessories must be offered with a complete parts and service warranty for a minimum of one calendar year from the Government acceptance, in-service date (not date of instrument delivery). 1.17Removal and Proper Disposition of Existing Spectrometer: In order to exercise good environmental stewardship, the contractor will remove the existing spectrometer and appropriately reuse/recycle as many components thereof as economically feasible to avoid landfill disposal. Credit for such reuse/recycling shall be applied towards the cost of the new spectrometer to the maximum extent possible.
