- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for one(1)creation and assemblyof a dewar mechanical cryosystem. This system will accommodate near a infrared camerathat will observe early Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB)in support of the Swift observatories forthe project RATIR (Reionization and Transients Infrared). The specifications are asfollows:RATIR(Reionization and Transients InfraRed)dewar-Cold space operating temperature:60K-90K-Cold space dimensions: ~10W" X 23L" x 7H" (TBR)-Fused silica vacuum window ~2.5" CA dia located on top of the dewar.-Cooling capacity>25W at 77K-Mounting holes provided for the warm optics assembly-Cold window mounted on the cold shield-Cold plast with bolt pattern to accommodate camera mechanical components-Cold plate vibration stability: ~<5 um-Dewar body and cold shield should be removable to provide full access to the internalcomponents mounted on the cold plate.-Environmental:Operating Temperature: 40C to -15C.Dewar optical, harness and mech features:-Spectral range 0.8-1.8 um-Accommodate round 4 51pin vauum connectors (will be provided by the customer).-Provide routing space for the internal harness (the harness itself with be provided bythe customer.The dewar design shall be coordinated and approved by the customer before fabrication ofany components of the dewar. The deliverables shall include the dewar system with thedesign, engineering analysis, and documentation. The results of vacuum and cryogenicoperation of the dewar and vibration test measurements shall be included in the delivery. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from ColdEdge Technologies pursuant to FAR 13.106for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available fromonly one source. ColdEdge is able to design and build a complete chryomechanical systemfor the liquid nitrogen temperature range that is required.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.DO Rating is DO-C9. The synopsis shall not be construed as a commitment by theGovernment, nor will the Government pay for the information solicited.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:00 p.m. local timeon September 25, 2009. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for thepurpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and opencompetition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretionof the government.Oral communications ARE NOT acceptable in response to this notice.All contractual and technical questions must be submitted in writing via e-mail toRogenia.M.Burton-Penderga@nasa.gov no later than September 18, 2009 or via facsimile at301-286-1720.All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.An Ombudsman has been appointed.
