- Description
- The Fleet & Industrial Supply Center Norfolk, Philadelphia Division, Contracting Department intends to acquire 1 each Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer. This is a Turnkey requirement. The price includes delivery, installation, testing, and training of Navy personnel in the operation of the unit. Delivery is F.O.B. destination within consignee premises, Annapolis, MD ZIP code 21402, estimated 8 months after day of contract. The offered instrument must meet the following specifications: instrument must have the ability to analyze gas phase species in the atmosphere. The instrument will be used for mainly two projects: first to analyze trace gases in the atmosphere from airborne platforms in various field programs, and second to analyze trace gases in laboratory kinetic experiments. At a minimum the control and data acquisition system should be able to support addition of a few mass flow controllers and solenoid valves to facilitated varying ion chemistries. The instrument components must be constructed with aviation approved materials that allow for the analysis of gas phase chemical species at ambient atmospheric levels. The complete system must be capable of future modifications and enhancements (in hardware and software). The instrument must have a mass resolution of at least 0.5 amu, and operate over a mass range allowing the analysis of H2O2 by reaction with CO3- or CFO3- reagent ions nominally of 10 to 300 amu. The instrument must be supplied with a collisional dissociation chamber (CDC), an octopole ion guide, and one 3/8 inch rod dia, quadrupole mass filter with a channeltron detector K+M and an ion molecule reactor. The octopole and quadrupole regions will each be evacuated with at least a 70 l/s turbodrag pump. The CDC should be evacuated with an appropriate vacuum drag pump. All necessary vacuum and roughing pumps and internal tubing will be provided with the instrument. The CIMS instrument should be mounted in an aluminum instrument rack that is roughly 40 inch wide x 24 inch deep x 36 inch high. The control electronics should also be housed in 19 inch rack mount boxes. A modular design for the control electronics is optimal with an electronics box controlling the quadrupole mass filter to select masses in the range of 10-300 amu. A second electronics box to control the detector and octopole high voltages, high vacuum gauges, and any safety circuits, and the turbopumps is needed. The third box should be capable of controlling up to 8 mass flow controllers and baratrons. The CIMS system must operate as a stand-alone instrument, with the system design sufficiently modern and versatile to allow for an easy network connection. All hardware and software components should be of such a design as to allow for easy upgrade and maintenance. The system should be controlled by a laptop computer equipped with the necessary data acquisition boards to control the CIMS instruments, and record all relevant pressures, flows, temperatures, and valve states etc. Computer and Software: A computer for instrument control, data acquisition and data analysis. The software must be capable of controlling the CIMS and additional pressure mass flow controllers, and several solenoid valves from the same data station and provide complete system control. The software should be capable of allowing the complete hands-free optimization, ion lenses, reaction gas flow rates, mass calibration resolution and detector calibration on the instrument. One year warranty from date of acceptance applies under NAVSUP clause 5252.246-9401. This notice of intent is a request for competitive quotations. A solicitation will be issued by 12 February 2010. A firm fixed price contact will be awarded as a result of this quotation. This requirement is in support of the U.S. Naval Academy, Chemistry Department, Annapolis, MD. Award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures for commercial items. Central Contractor Registration is required for all vendors doing business with DOD and can be obtained at www.ccr.gov. Any interest or concerns must be directed in writing to FISC Philadelphia Division Contracting Department, Re: N0016110RCZ4001 RFQ N00189-10-Q-0846 CIMS, Code 260.2D no later than 9 March 2010 Attn: Luis Aymerich via e-mail to luis.aymerich@navy.mil.
