- Description
- The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Magnicon GmbH for a Two Channel DC Squid. Sole Source determination is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) requirement to operate both cryogentic dilution refrigerators and transition edge sensors (TES) simultaneously at temperatures below 100 mK. Based on market research the Magnicon Two Channel DC Squid is the only known commercially available squid that controls electronics for high speed data acquisition with minimum of both 40 MHz open loop bandwidth and 10 MHz flux-locked loop (FLL) bandwidth, optically isolated RS-232/RS-485 interface, automatic reset and overload detectrion to protect TESes, voltage noise below 1 nV/Hz at 1 MHz, current noise below 4 pA/Hz at 1 MHz, minimum amplifier gain of 1000, as well as minimum of two current sources to drive two single photon transition edge sensors. Delivery: 8 weeks. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, firms that believe they can provide equipment that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 10days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose 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 competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
