- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for Heavy-Ion Single Event Effect (SEE) testing ofMicroelectronics, photonics, and materials. NASA intends to utilize a heavy ionirradiation facility for radiation effects research for space flight applications.Spedifications for the heavy-ion beam time and related support services in support of theInterface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution(MAVEN, and the Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) missions are as follows. 1. A range of tuned ion energies appropriate for single-event effects tests of packageddevices (board level and device level electronics) shall exist. This range shall bebetween 15-40 MeV/amu. Degraders may be used to gain lower energies than 15 MeV/amu.2. Testing shall be conducted in-air as opposed to vacuum with a full range of tiltangles accessible from + 90 to -90.3. Heavy-ion beam structure shall be near-continuous to facilitate dynamic testing forsingle-event effects.4. Beam accuracy across the irradiation area shall have less than 10% variance tofacilitate accurate performance degradation results and pre-flight predictions. 5. NASA/GSFC shall be the prime user of the proton beam during test campaigns in order toprovide controlled particle intensities (beam flux) and known beam structure to allow forproper post-irradiation data analysis. a. Shared user facilities provide uncertainties and increased risk for results and dataanalyses.6. Facility shall have ion range in silicon up to at least 3.5 mm.NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Texas A&M University Cyclotron Facility(TAMU). The TAMU facility meets several specific requirements that will allow accuratetesting to be be performed.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local timeon September 7, 2011. 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 responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The installation Ombudsman is NancyAbell, Goddard Space Flight Center, Mailstop 100, Greenbelt, MD 20771, Phone301-286-5867, Fax 301-286-1714, Email: Nancy.A.Abell@nasa.gov
